The capabilities of tactical and logistics trucks, as well as armored vehicles, may change as a result of electric vehicles (EVs). Although there are still some technical issues to be worked out before EVs are used in combat, the new technology is already being employed in some barracks. Their incorporation into the Armed Forces is rapidly approaching reality.
The Defense Department has ambitious ambitions to convert its fleet of ground vehicles through the deployment of electric and hybrid-electric drive technologies in order to battle climate change, support the U.S. industry, and gain operational benefits. Major business and military prospects are seen by automakers.
The US 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 2024 to 2030.
Defense, Equipment & Support is in charge of an initiative that is evaluating the performance of hybrid experimental prototypes of the Army’s Foxhound, Jackal, and MAN SV vehicles.
With the step shift, the Army’s electrical infrastructure will be prepared to handle the increased electrical demand expected on future battlefields. It will be simpler to move the electricity where it needs to go by using hybrid cars.
The military will have more options thanks to electrification, including the ability to supply power both on and off ships, as well as to applications other than military ones, such as supporting non-governmental organizations in places where the infrastructure for supplying power has been damaged or to support civilian infrastructure for other government departments.
Nine generators can be replaced with a single hybrid electric MAN SV car with a 500 kilowatt power output. In a crisis area, this enables two and a half hybrid MAN SV trucks to power an Army Field hospital or supply emergency electricity to relief workers.
It is only one benefit of the cutting-edge automotive technology being evaluated. The hybrid vehicle technology used in buses and commercial vehicles will guarantee that the Army’s vehicles stay state-of-the-art and are equipped to run the newest power-hungry technologies.
On the battlefield, it will provide a variety of tactical benefits, including stealth. The sole kind of propulsion for vehicles in stealth mode is electricity. The vehicle’s thermal and noise profile should be greatly reduced as a result, allowing the troops to observe or engage opposing units without being detected.
