Quantum to Use UQM Drive System for Army Hybrid
20 August 2007
Quantum Fuel Systems Technologies Worldwide, Inc. has ordered propulsion systems from UQM Technologies, Inc. to be used on a diesel hybrid electric version of the US Army’s Alternative Mobility Vehicle (AMV) “Aggressor”. (Earlier post.)
The “Aggressor” vehicle is a high performance light-duty off-road hybrid electric vehicle being developed by Quantum for the US Army’s Tank Automotive Research, Development and Engineering Center, National Automotive Center.
Quantum will integrate UQM propulsion motors and electronic controls into its advanced JP-8 compatible, diesel hybrid electric propulsion system to be used in pre-production prototype vehicles, which will be tested and evaluated by selected commands to assess mission suitability, supportability, performance objectives and guidance on final vehicle configuration.
