RE:New partner - in the Defence Sector??? Maybe... I should have added that DOD will soon announce the winner of a $7 Billion contract for an additional 15,000 JLTVs (originally scheduled to be released on 22 December, but likely has slipped). The RFP did not specifically call for hybrids, however, the selection criteria is based in part on requirements that can best be met with electification, such as silent mobility and fuel savings. I would be surprised if the bids did not address hybrids in one form or another...perhaps an option for a future fitment during the five year contract. As a comparison, the recent 'developmental' RFP for the Bradley replacement did not specifiy electrification. Yet, all five bids included hybrids.
