Governments of various countries are working on expanding their military troops to enhance their capabilities. The demand for military trucks is increasing in the region to increase the operational cargo transport capacity and logistical support for the different training and community support activities. Hence, various South American countries are investing in the purchase of military trucks. For instance, in September 2021, the Argentinian MoD announced that it had ordered 54 Mercedes-Benz Atego 4x4 1726 trucks. These vehicles can transport approximately 15 metric tons of cargo or 17 troops. For this project, Fondo Nacional de la Defensa (FONDEF), the national defense fund, will provide ~US$ 10 million. Besten Handler, an Argentina-based company, was selected by MoD to provide the Atego 4x4s. Thus, such growing recruitments in the military forces indicate the need for military trucks to transfer troops, fuel, and equipment along asphalted roads and unpaved dirt roads, thereby driving the growth of the military truck market.
