The Netherlands Ministry of Defence Expands Dutch Expeditionary Patrol Vehicle Fleet  

OSHKOSH, WI — Oshkosh Defense Europe B.V. together with Oshkosh Defense, LLC, an Oshkosh Corporation [NYSE: OSK] business, announced today that the Netherlands Ministry of Defence (MoD) has placed an order, valued between $25-30 million, for additional Dutch Expeditionary Patrol Vehicles (DXPV). The DXPVs, also known as the “Kaaiman,” will be equipped for future integration.

The Netherlands continue to lead the way in defense vehicle modernization and allied interoperability. With Oshkosh’s open systems approach, the DXPV platform is designed to accommodate the integration of emerging technologies and mission systems.

As part of the order, Oshkosh will also deliver two DXPV training kits to support the MoD’s readiness initiatives. The DXPV training kits will allow Dutch Soldiers to begin training immediately, allowing for seamless transition and sustained operational capability.  

This announcement reinforces Oshkosh Defense’s commitment to delivering mission-built vehicles and lifecycle support services that enhance mobility, protection, and operational success for allied armed forces worldwide.
