The HEMTT Heavy Expanded Mobility Tactical Truck "The US Army’s Heavy Truck"

Published at : 23 Dec 2025

The HEMTT (Heavy Expanded Mobility Tactical Truck) is one of the most iconic and reliable heavy tactical trucks ever built for the U.S. Army.

First introduced in 1982, the HEMTT was designed by Oshkosh to replace the aging M520 Goer and revolutionize battlefield logistics. With its 8×8 wheel drive, 10-ton payload capacity, and powerful 445 hp diesel engine, this truck can tackle any terrain while carrying essential supplies, fuel, and artillery support.

Over the years, the HEMTT family has expanded into multiple variants:

M977 Cargo Truck – standard logistics transport

M978 Fuel Tanker – refueling operations

M985 Resupply Truck – rocket and artillery support

Wrecker versions – vehicle recovery in the field

From Operation Desert Storm to modern combat zones, the HEMTT has been the logistics backbone of the U.S. Army for over four decades.
