While the contract includes a total of 78 vehicles, 52 were purchased immediately and will be delivered early in 2017. The remaining 26 vehicles will be delivered by early 2018, according to Pierre-Alain Bujold, a spokesman for Public Services and Procurement Canada.

The vehicles will be primarily used by special forces for off-road operations and each vehicle can carry up to nine occupants.

In addition, the contract with Polaris includes technical support services and integrated logistics support for two years.
