The concept of hybrid tech Hummer apparently began to be serious for the U.S. Army. After May 2011 and was introduced in 1:5 scale model of North American International Auto Show in Detroit, a prototype of the second stage is said to have arrived at their headquarters in the Tank Automotive Research, Development, and Engineering Center (TARDEC) in Michigan on Friday (12 / 16/2011), and ready to be tested.
Prototype design is created by the College for Creative Studies student named Joel Zastrow called "FED Bravo", short for 'Fuel Efficient Ground Vehicle Demonstrator' Bravo and Alpha continuation of the FED. No mention is the basis of the jeep 'giant' is what type.
So far there has been no explanation of the technical data other than the similarity with the plug-in hybrid Chevy Volt. However, the figure FED Alpha as its predecessor may be comparisons.
FED basically merupkan Alpha Hummer or Humvee with a hybrid drive system is fitted with a plug-in solar panel on the back. Thus, the battery electric power obtained from the sun.
Cummins four-cylinder diesel engine equipped with a vomit-power turbo 200 HP, and supported 6-speed automatic transmission. In addition to energy saving due to wearing a combination of solar thermal energy, also supports saving tires (seven percent) in fuel consumption due to using this type of low-rolling resistance (tires with low barriers to scroll). In total, the hybrid system, a lightweight body materials, plus the tire was claimed to save 70 percent of fuel consumption than the Humvee Alpha FED conventional combat.
More sophistication is stored under the body, which allows vehicles to form a protective FED is not destroyed when exposed to landmines. That said, the Fed agreed the use of these products, the U.S. military budget could be saved at least $ 45 million per year.
