![]() The vehicles were delivered from late-January to April 2017. Plans are to field 18 MRZR-Ds per infantry regiment. The vehicles can carry four marines and have a small cargo bed capable of carrying 1,500 lb (680 kg) of payload. The Marines bought the unarmored vehicles because they can fit inside an MV-22 Osprey, enabling them to be deployed from long distances, to provide logistics support to ground combat units, assisting them to travel and transport supplies quicker and easier than previously on foot. Called the Utility Task Vehicle ( UTV), it is designed to be diesel-powered and can run on JP-8 fuel. Marine Corps signed a $2.5 million contract with Polaris to deliver 144 MRZR-D vehicles.
