Hybrid-Electric Tactical Vehicles and Operational Energy Resilience
Reducing Fuel Dependency and Strengthening Tactical Mobility in Contested Environments
Hybrid-Electric Tactical Vehicles address a structural vulnerability in conventional land forces: the dependence on continuous fuel resupply under conditions where logistics lines are exposed to disruption. In high-intensity or hybrid scenarios, fuel convoys and fixed refuelling infrastructure constitute predictable and targetable nodes, directly affecting manoeuvre tempo and sustainment. By integrating electric propulsion, on-board energy storage and advanced power management systems, hybrid platforms increase operational autonomy, enable silent mobility and support distributed energy concepts for deployed forces. Within the broader framework of climate security and energy transition in defence, this capability enhances resilience, reduces exposure of logistics chains and strengthens the credibility of sustained land operations under contested and energy-constrained conditions.
