Spain's Ministry of Defence is implementing a fleet renewal program to replace the aging Santana PS10 Aníbal vehicles with modern Peugeot Landtrek pickups, militarized by Iturri. This program aims to enhance operational capacity and ensure the Army can effectively respond to contemporary defense challenges.

The new vehicles will support various roles, including troop transport and logistics, while improving off-road performance and reliability. The transition addresses issues of the Aníbal fleet, such as reliability and maintenance costs.

The program also has strategic industrial benefits, as Iturri's adaptation of the Landtrek supports local jobs and maintains independence in fleet maintenance. Army units have begun training on the new vehicles, which will be delivered in phases, ensuring readiness during the transition. The program is expected to improve Spain's operational resilience and ability to respond to emergencies and international missions.
