One fault of the traditional Humvee that no one will argue is its ability to be quiet and stealthy. That may all change soon, as the military has created a concept of a Hybrid Electric Humvee. The hybrid vehicle is heavier than a normal Humvee; it runs quiet on “electric prowl power” and can go 10 kilometers on battery power alone. One of the limitations of the vehicle is that it can’t ford a deep stream because the power-generating batteries are located low on the vehicle’s frame. The Hybrid Electric Humvee is being developed by the U.S. Army Tank-Automotive Research, Development and Engineering Center in Warren, Mich. For more information, visit military.com.
