#Military #Humvee Could Be 'Futureproofed' With This Bolt-In #Hybrid Retrofit From The #diesel geniuses at Banks and it's set To Be Tested By US #Army
Combining an 800-volt battery and an electric motor generator unit with a 3.0-liter V6 t#urbodiesel, Banks believes it has future-proofed the #HWWMV. Banks did this work under contract for the Rapid Capabilities and Critical Technologies Office (#RCCTO), taking a stock Humvee and retrofitting it with the new hybrid system. https://www.thedrive.com/news/banks-develops-diesel-hybrid-humvee-powertrain-for-us-military
