A spokesperson for the Ministry of Defence says it wants UK industry to play a "central role" in delivering thousands of modern light mobility vehicles. The spokesperson adds: "We are backing British businesses and supporting our defence industrial base with 85% of our defence spending currently staying in the UK, driving reindustrialisation and making defence an engine for growth."Ford's factory in Dagenham, east London, is part of a joint venture with defence specialists General Dynamics and Ricardo bidding for a Ministry of Defence (MoD) contract to supply 9,000 vehicles over the next five to seven years to replace the Army's ageing Land Rover-based fleet.French car maker Renault has signed a strategic agreement with defence giant Thales to produce military drones - targeting an output of up to 1,000 units per month. The French military and Directorate General for Armament want to tap into Renault's mass-production capabilities to bypass traditional, slower defence supply chains.Meanwhile, Volkswagen has agreed to sell an under-used factory in Osnabruck, western Germany, which will become a military manufacturing hub in a joint venture with an Israeli-based defence investor.https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c6vgyq598k9po
>>1538689Yes this is an intelligent business move because now that chinese cars are sold in Europe the european companies are going to see their sells fall a lot if they are not able to lower their prices.
European car manufacturers have been involved in the military world from day one. This is just a return to form for them.

Make post more clear
Eurobros, you do realize all these thousands of light vehicles are going to be used to oppress you, right? The Russians will never invade western Europe. They'll punch a few countries in the mouth but don't want to occupy any place in the west, there is nothing substantive to be gained. Your own rulers on the other hand ....
>>1538942Yup, this. They're going to be used to murder white Europeans who dare oppose the Islamic rapefugee invasion
>Japan - overpricedhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BzHhU4EorOMAn Australian petrolhead destroys that opinion with one by Nissan which is superior - and not only in terms of price - to a Chinese battery-powered overpriced piece of shit by Muskrat's Tesla, 1538732.
