The M1300 requirement was driven by a need to transport heavier loads within Europe, while complying with European Union (EU) standards. Projected payloads for the M1300 and semi-trailer were stated to be a minimum of 82 tonnes and up to 90 tonnes (74,389 to 81,647 kg). To achieve this, the tractor required some weight redistribution from the front axle and a new multi-axle semi-trailer. Oshkosh began working on the M1300 tractor in April 2018 and was scheduled to continue through to April 2020.^[source]Oshkosh M1070 · History; only the objects and conditions stated in this passage

The Enhanced Heavy Equipment Transporter System (EHETS) is considered the replacement for the M1070/M1070A1/M1300 in U.S. Army service. The U.S. Army announced in July 2016 that it wished to use FY 2016 funds to start an engineering study into an EHET that would replace the M1070A1 and M1000 semi-trailers. This study had previously been slated to commence in FY 2017. The intent was that the EHETS would comprise a tractor and semi-trailer to transport, recover, and evacuate a +80 tonne (72,575 kg) combat loaded M1 Abrams and associated M88 recovery system, which was anticipated to weigh more than 84,000 kg. The M1070A1 and M1000 are technically unable to transport such loads.^[source]Oshkosh M1070 · History; only the objects and conditions stated in this passage

Under Solicitation Number W56HZV-18-R-0190, the U.S. Army issued a Sources Sought notice for EHETS in September 2018. Under Solicitation Number W56HZV-18-R-0190, the U.S. Army in September 2018 announced an EHETS Industry Day to be held in October 2018. In April 2020 the U.S. Army under notice ID PANDTA-20-P-0000-007236 announced an EHETS contract opportunity Request for Information (RfI) as a Special Notice. The purpose of the RfI is to assess the marketplace availability and industry capabilities for providing an EHETS Trailer. The proposed EHETS Trailer solution is to be a trailer capable of transporting a payload of both 85 tonnes and 82 tonnes while meeting European Highway Axle Restrictions for road permits. The army is interested in contracting directly with trailer manufacturers as the prime contractor.^[source]Oshkosh M1070 · History; only the objects and conditions stated in this passage

The layout of the M1070 is conventional. The fully enclosed cab seats the driver, one crewman and up to four passengers. The original cab complied with the U.S. Army's Long Term Armor Strategy (LTAS) requirements of an A- and B-kit armoring philosophy. For the M1070A1, a May 2013 Acquisition Decision Memorandum authorised the U.S. Army to develop and acquire armoured replaceable cabs for the M1070A1. This led to the HUSK. As of late 2020 the HUSK was being produced by Rock Island Arsenal-Joint Manufacturing & Technology Center. Numbers involved have not been disclosed.^[source]Oshkosh M1070 · Technical description; only the objects and conditions stated in this passage

The chassis of the M1070 is 356 × 89 × 9.5 mm C-section (channel frame) constructed from SAE 1027 modified, heat-treated carbon manganese steel with a minimum yield strength of 758 MPa . This mounts a 3.5 inch fully floating Holland fifth wheel and three winches , two dp Manufacturing 55K 24,947 kg capacity hydraulic winches with 51.8 m of 25 mm cable each, and a single dp Manufacturing 3GN 1,360 kg capacity auxiliary winch with 91.4 m of 6 mm cable.^[source]Oshkosh M1070 · Technical description; only the objects and conditions stated in this passage

The original M1070 is powered by a Detroit Diesel 8V-92TA 12.06-liter diesel engine with 500 hp at 2100 rpm and 1993 Nm torque at 1200 rpm . This is coupled to an Allison CLT-754 five-speed automatic transmission and Oshkosh 55000 two-speed transfer case . The M1070A1 is powered by a Caterpillar C-18 six-cylinder diesel with 700 hp . This is coupled to an uprated Allison 4800SP seven-speed automatic transmission and Oshkosh 30000 single-speed transfer case .^[source]Oshkosh M1070 · Technical description; only the objects and conditions stated in this passage

The M1000 has 40 wheels (215/75R 17.5 tires) across five axle lines, these with two half-width axles per line. Each axle has hydraulic pendular suspension, providing a 254 mm stroke, with lateral oscillation accommodating surface undulations. A hydraulic suspension system is provided on the pivoting gooseneck to equalise fifth wheel loads. The weight of the M1000 is 22,882 kg. The payload according to the U.S. Army is 63,560 kg, although the manufacturer quotes 80,000 kg at reduced speeds. The overall length is 15.8 m, the deck length is 10.58 m; the deck width is 3.05 m, 3.66 m for a wide deck version.^[source]Oshkosh M1070 · Technical description / Trailer; only the objects and conditions stated in this passage

The UK fleet, which when delivered was made up of 92 tractor trucks, 89 King GTS 100/7 semi-trailers, and three Tru-Hitch recovery systems, were delivered as part of a Private Finance Initiative (PFI) award to FASTTRAX in 2001 that included staff to operate the vehicles as Sponsored Reserves . The contract award included a 28-system option that was not exercised. In late-2009 Broshuis from The Netherlands was selected to supply 20 heavy-duty 45,000 kg payload full-width two-axle trailers for use with the 1070F in Afghanistan .^[source]Oshkosh M1070 · Oshkosh M1070F (British Army); only the objects and conditions stated in this passage

The Oshkosh 1070F shares a common chassis and axle set-up with the M1070A0 model. The cab and all major driveline components have been substantially revised to meet both performance and legislative requirements. The driveline is similar to that fitted to the M1070A1 and consists of a Caterpillar C-18 diesel engine with 700 hp . This is coupled to an Allison HD 4076P automatic transmission and TC-561 torque converter , coupled to an Oshkosh 30000 single-speed transfer case .^[source]Oshkosh M1070 · Oshkosh M1070F (British Army); only the objects and conditions stated in this passage

Oshkosh Defense unveiled the Global HET in 2008. The Global HET is similar in many ways to the M1070A1, the main design difference being configuration. The Global HET has three axles, the M1070A1 has four. Oshkosh disclosed an initial order from Al Jaber Group of the UAE for around 20 Global HET in February 2011. Global HET was selected to meet a requirement for a tractor unit to be used in conjunction with 70,000 kg semi-trailers, mounting the locally developed Jobaria Multiple Launch Rocket System (MLRS).^[source]Oshkosh M1070 · Oshkosh Global HET; only the objects and conditions stated in this passage
