Hybrid Electric-High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle
(HE-HMMWV)

The U.S. Army asked CTC to produce a reasonably affordable and efficient hybrid electric vehicle using currently available technology. The vehicle had to meet or exceed the baseline performance of the conventional/current High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle (HMMWV).

CTC successfully converted the conventionally powered HMMWV to a hybrid-electric (HE) powered vehicle for the U.S. Army. The vehicle exceeds the conventional HMMWV in gradeability, fuel efficiency, acceleration and top speed. In addition, the new vehicle offers stealth operation and has the potential for a remote power source. Specifically:

New hybrid engine achieved a respectable 28.8 kilometres per hour (km/h) compared to 13.1 km/h for the current U.S. Army M1097 HMMWV on 40% grade

Nearly 3 times as fuel efficient at a speed of 100 km/h , sipping 11.25 litres per 100 kilometres (l/100km) compared to 33.13 l/100km for the current U.S. Army M1097 HMMWV

More than 3 times quicker. From 0 to 100 km/h in 17.3 seconds as compared to 54.8 seconds for the U.S. Army ‘s current conventionally-powered M1097 vehicles.

CTC’s HE-HMMWV exceeded the project’s maximum speed goal of 112.7 km/h on level, paved roads, attaining 116.4 km/h.
