The US Army studies the electric Hummer in the field

Here we are, GM Defense has been selected by the United States Army to provide a battery electric vehicle to be used for the first field tests. The original High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle (Humvee) certainly needs no introduction, it is a true icon that, however, has recently been withdrawn from production due to inadequate protection against IEDs.

The US military now wants the Hummer to return to its fleet, although it is not clear what kind of role the vehicle will play; last November there were rumors of the possibility of a snappy and quiet reconnaissance vehicle, although we must admit that the Hummer is not exactly a compact and agile solution with its 5.5 meters in length and 4 tons of weight (in the civil version). In short, from GM Defense something new could be born that will use the base of the civil version with a series of sophisticated and targeted implementations. - th_motorlabs_d_mh2_1 slot id: th_motorlabs_d_mh2 "); }
The Department of Defense is the latest government agency to join the electricity program. The federal government is working to make a full shift to electric vehicles by 2035, while the local government has been buying fleets of electric vehicles for police forces for a few months. At the moment, the only real obstacle in America is the postal service which has been sued by 16 states and several environmental organizations for spending $ 11 billion on traditional delivery vehicles. According to initial reconstructions, there is currently no suitable technology available to meet the needs of the postal service.
