Significant parts of the New Zealand Army’s operational vehicle fleet are being replaced or upgraded over the next decade under the Protected Mobility Capability Project (PMCP).
These operational vehicles - both armoured and non-armoured - are used for a wide range of operations, ensuring appropriate protection is available when people need to be transported quickly and safely.
This project's current focus is delivering new armoured combat vehicles (Protected Vehicle - Medium) and new general service/utility vehicles.

High Mobility – Light Fleet: final vehicles were delivered in January 2022 and are being tested ahead of Operational Release.
In September 2023, Request for Proposal was released for services related to the design, build and installation of communications and digital systems for the Bushmaster vehicle fleet.
The Request for Proposal sought a Prime System Integrator who can deliver and support the communications and digital systems, from design through to installation, troop training, and equipment disposal. Some systems are being purchased through a separate contract, and will be integrated as part of this process.
