Devon-based engineering firm Supacat has landed a major contract to manufacture potentially hundreds of combat vehicles for the British Army.
The company will collaborate with defence giant Babcock on the project to deliver at least 70 light armoured, high mobility transporters from its HMT 400 series, known by The Army as ‘The Jackal’.
Supacat said the programme could lead to as many as 240 of the vehicles being produced, “should operational requirements demand”.
