With GM Defense already proving the merit of the turbo-diesel-powered ISV, a hybrid or BEV version isn\u2019t unimaginable. In fact, GM Defense\u2019s ISV family includes an All-Electric Military Concept Vehicle (eISV) that combines the nine-passenger ISV platform with a 3-Phase AC Permanent Magnet Motor and a 400-volt, 66-kWh battery with a two-speed transfer case, Dana front and rear electronic locking differentials, and a 2.62 low range.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And that\u2019s not all. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
An autonomous eISV for transporting electronic weapons and defense into battle is also being designed. While the Marine Corps may not be ready for such a vehicle, GM Defense will have one ready when the DoD is. But odds are, so will Canoo and Lucid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the meantime, STEEP operational testing and evaluation is expected within 18-24 months.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
Will Ultium ultimately power the U.S. military? It could happen, but not without a challenge from Canoo and Lucid.
