The M915 is a baseline model of a series of heavy army trucks.
In the late 1970s, the US Army was looking for commercial logistic trucks. In 1977 a request was issued for a series of heavy trucks. The US Army received technical proposals from six manufacturers. The AM General offered the lowest price and was selected as a winner. In 1977 the US Army awarded a contract for 5 507 trucks. First vehicles were delivered to the US Army in 1978.
The M915 Line Haul Tractor (LHT) is primarily used for long-distance movement of containers. It is used to move cargo from port to the division operation area. Normally this truck tows M872 semi-trailer with a payload capacity of 30 t.
This line haul tractor is powered by Cummins NTC 400 turbocharged diesel engine, developing 400 hp. It is mated to Caterpillar semi-automatic gearbox with 16 forward and 2 reverse gears. This tractor truck has a 6x4 configuration. Its operation is limited to hard surface roads only.
