The US Army’s Tank Automotive Research Development and Engineering Centre (TARDEC) is currently testing a potential replacement for its world-famous Humvee.
The Ultra Light Vehicle (ULV) prototype was designed to overcome some of its predecessor’s shortcomings, including a high demand on the planet’s resources to keep the Humvee running. In other words, the venerable Humvee is too thirsty.
Hardly surprising when it weighs as much as an elephant and is powered by a 6.5 litre turbo diesel V8, but TARDEC reckons a Subaru-supplied diesel-electric hybrid set-up could provide the cure.
