Tactical Vehicle Hybridization
Abstract
Liquid fuels create battlefield logistics challenges and do not inherently support future operational requirements. However, fully electric tactical vehicles present their own battlefield logistics challenges, making quick conversion to pure-electric impractical. Further hybridizing vehicles is a critical step in the transition to an all-electric tactical fleet. By integrating commercial technologies on hybrid power systems, battery integration, and auxiliary power units, the DoD can speed up transition to electric by years. This funding will expand on the Tactical Vehicle Hybridization project launched by DIU in FY22 on behalf of the Army and the Marines. This funding will enable the commercial vendors to expand capabilities to the powertrain, allowing full hybrid options and expand the capabilities to the remaining variants of Tactical Vehicles.
