Even the military is ready to get in on the hybrid bandwagon, reports USA Today. The Pentagon is reportedly developing hybrid electric engines for the replacement for the Humvee to extend the vehicle’s range and increase its survival on the battlefield. The interest in hybrid power is part of a broad effort to reduce the need for fuel convoys, which are always at risk. The Army is testing a half-dozen hybrid-electric versions of the Humvee chassis at various testing grounds in the USA.
