UQM Technologies, Inc., a developer of alternative energy technologies used to create advanced vehicles, earlier announced that two hybrid electric future heavy truck demonstrators built by Armor Holdings and powered by UQM electric propulsion systems have begun Military Utility Assessment (MUA) Testing this month.

The custom 120 kW UQM® hybrid electric propulsion systems, which are powering the vehicles for the U.S. Army, were provided in support of Armor Holding’s contract. The agreement is part of the Army’s Future Tactical Truck System (FTTS) effort to formulate a demonstrator next generation tactical wheeled vehicle dubbed as the Maneuver Sustainment Vehicle (MSV).

The MSV program will allow the U.S. Army to evaluate the need and performance of the tactical vehicle to ascertain future requirements. The MSV is not simply putting together Nissan exhausts, Toyota technology, and other powerful auto parts. The manufacture of the vehicle requires more expertise in the tactical and combat realm. Hence, only the best and specialized parts and systems could satisfy the standards.

The testing, which places the vehicle in operational service to perform a variety of mission assignments, is being conducted at Ft. Lewis, Washington. Prior to the MUA testing, the two demonstrator vehicles successfully completed nearly 3,000 miles of testing at the Michigan Proving Grounds and the U.S. Army’s Aberdeen Proving Grounds.

Chris Chambers, the Vice President of Programs and Business Development at Armor Holdings’ Tactical Vehicle Systems Division, said, “The MSV design and development exercise has overcome many of the hybrid technology challenges this class of vehicle presents. Our work with UQM puts us at the forefront of this area and we are particularly pleased to have had the opportunity to assist the Army as they scope their potential future tactical vehicle requirements.”

“We are pleased to be a member of the Armor Holding’s team and have their vehicles move to this important next step of testing as part of the US Army’s Future Tactical Truck System program,” said William G. Rankin, the President and Chief Executive Officer of UQM Technologies, Inc.
