A future, hybrid-electric military ground vehicle using a compact and efficient X engine as a range extender, along with a high speed alternator, and JP-8 or diesel fuel, would enable the military to take better advantage of the efficiency, range and low noise benefits of electric propulsion, while eliminating electric-only disadvantages such as its high price tag and onboard battery weight,” said Dr. Alexander Shkolnik, cofounder and CEO of LiquidPiston.
