M1070

In the second half of the 1980s, the U.S. Army issued requirements for a new HETS (Heavy Tank Transporter System), consisting of a tractor and trailer, designed to transport M1A1 Abrams.

AM General and Oshkosh Truck Corporation were awarded the contract for the truck. The first prototypes (which eventually won the competition) from Oshkosh were ready for testing in the fall of 1990. Series production began in early 1992. The US Army received the first of these, designated M1070, in mid-1993. By 1996, a total of 1,320 vehicles had been delivered. The U.S. Army planned to purchase a total of approximately 2,100 vehicles.

Along with the new tractors, new M1000 sleepers were introduced into the US Army's arsenal.

The new vehicles in the U.S. Army's Heavy Truck Companies' arsenal replaced M911 tractors and M747 sleepers. With the advent of the new equipment, these units were transformed into Combat Heavy Equipment Transport Companies, theirž mission is to provide tactical mobility of heavy equipment and armament (tanks, OT, BVP, howitzers, etc.). By the end of the year, 17 such units had been built within the US Army, US Army Reserve and US Army National Guard. The company is made up of two or ěfour Truck Platoons with 48 and 96 HETS respectively.

In the second half of the 1990s, the British Army also began looking for a new truck as a replacement for the Scammell Commander, and the M1070E1 was introduced in 1997. It was therefore reworked (new engine, bodywork, etc.) and re-produced by the Army. The latter eventually adopted it under the designation M1070F. Deliveries of 92 vehicles have been ongoing since 2002. They are usually used to tow seven-axle King Trailer GTS 100s, which can hold one Challenger 2 tank or two Warrior APCs.
