Ursus to deliver light armored trucks for the Polish Army?

Lublin-based Ursus may bid for delivering light armored trucks to the Polish Army in the coming tender, the media reported. Last year, the company added the  Storm-3 light armored truck to its catalog,  which is manufactured by the Israeli firm Automotive Industries Limited (AIL). "If the ministry [of the defense] holds a tender for delivering such truck for the Polish Army, we will certainly be interested," said Mariusz Lewandowski, a company spokesman. According to the unofficial reports, the Polish Army may need up to 1,500 new trucks. Currently it uses Polish-produced Honkers. Ursus is one of the oldest manufacturers of farming equipment, including tractors, in Eastern Europe. The company was founded in 1893. Recently, it has joined forces with Pol-Mot Warfama with a venture into the public transportation realm, manufacturing trolleybuses in Lublin.
