GM Collaboration Powertrain Efficiency Programs

Abstract

Efficient Powertrain Technologies for High-Power Onboard Electrical Generation and Mobility. PURPOSE: Provide efficient, reliable powertrain technologies that will improve the energy productivity of existing military ground vehicle engine-transmission while using less space, improving vehicle mobility, fuel consumption and reducing thermal load. Payoffs: * Improved vehicle mobility performance. * Dramatically more electrical power available to meet future vehicle equipment demands. * Improved engine power density on logistic fuel. * Quieter engine idle to reduce vehicle acoustic signature during silent watch/mounted surveillance missions. * Transitions to follow on ATO-D which will provide TRL 6 efficient powertrains to PM customers (HBCT, SBCT) by FY17.
