Do not mix M1070A1 with the newer EHETS configuration
PB2025 describes EHETS as an M1300 tractor with an M1302 semitrailer. Those newer-system costs are not assigned to the M1070A1 tractor.
Foreign family variants have different specifications
Oshkosh identifies the British 1070F separately from the U.S. M1070/M1070A1 family. A British fleet count or contract is not evidence of M1070A1 procurement.
Contracts & purchasing · 2
Ceilings, options and purchase agreements are not spending and are never added together. Obligations are under Contracts.
