The time when military vehicles only needed to roll is long gone. In order to transform battlefield vehicles into mobile power plants, they must now be outfitted with sophisticated communications systems, radars, lasers, jammers, and other electronic devices.
European automakers have jumped on the electric propulsion business case quickly, offering solutions that claim to meet military demands for more effective energy storage, quieter motors, and lower thermal profiles.
The operational advantages of quieter motors and reduced thermal signatures make tactical vehicles the most likely candidates for electric propulsion.
The France Military Electric Vehicle Market accounted for $XX Billion in 2021 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2026, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2022 to 2027.
At the convention located outside of Paris, General Dynamics European Land Systems unveiled a fully electric variant of its four-wheel-drive DURO all-terrain tactical vehicle.
According to the manufacturer, the DURO-e has a variable powertrain with a diesel engine and a pure electric powertrain that is available in battery- or fuel cell-powered versions.
It also has features like extended silent watch and silent drive. The DURO-e boasts exceptional energy efficiency, a self-sufficient energy supply, and low heat and noise emissions.
The four-wheel drive MR400 armoured vehicle, built by the French business Texelis in collaboration with the British company QinetiQ, incorporates a revolutionary in-wheel, electric-hub drive that was showcased in a full-scale model at the company’s stand.
The vehicle design for the VBMR Serval multirole vehicle programme for the French Army served as the basis for the MR400.
