High reliability vehicle electrification

Government agencies are actively investing in electrified tactical ground vehicles as a way to reduce noise, heat signature, and detection. Vehicle electrification in this sector offers many advantages in terms of greater efficiencies by pairing a size-reduced diesel engine with an electric powertrain (e.g. battery pack, traction motor). This architecture further increases efficiencies when the vehicle can also serve as a generator to power auxiliary tactical systems.

Some of the challenges to electrification of tactical vehicles include the need for long-range capabilities, reliable dual-technology (e.g. diesel and electric) architecture, and the weight of battery systems. Despite these challenges, electrification is seen as a key strategy for reducing environmental impact and improving operational effectiveness.
