ACSV production for Ukraine
Canadian procurement of GDLS-Canada-built vehicles for Ukraine: 39 ACSVs diverted in 2022 (of which 89 ACSVs have now been donated across two tranches); a $650M commitment (Sept 2023) for 50 new ACSVs built in London, Ontario; and a nearly $400M commitment (July 8, 2026) to build 35 more ACSVs — the latter being the 'additional 35' referenced in the July 16, 2026 Strategic Partnership announcement (recorded once).
These Ukraine-bound ACSVs include armoured ambulance/medevac and command-post variants of the LAV 6.0 platform, giving Ukrainian forces protected, mine-resistant vehicles to evacuate wounded personnel and move troops under fire; Ukrainian personnel received hands-on training on the ambulance variant in Germany in 2024 ahead of frontline deployment.
