Quick answer: yes. The Netherlands Army is replacing its 40+ yeard old fleet of GS truck and wanted to have simple trucks which can be kept running in remote areas with minimal support. In short, the automotive industry can no longer build simple trucks, plus they would not meet today's road regulations. And the military can no longer exempt themselves from having to comply to these regulations.
