Dus niet een voertuig dat eerder niet voldeed maar een compleet nieuw voertuig voor de Duits-Nederlandse tender die nu loopt.

Overduidelijk gebaseerd op de G-serie, dus geen compleet nieuw voertuig.

Nieuwe Mercedes Caracal, SOF voertuig   (    was dit eerst voor NL bedoeld ??, welke later toch niet voldeed aan de gestelde eisen ? )

Het antwoord is te vinden op de website van Rheinmetall

The brand new CARACAL is Rheinmetall's answer to the upcoming airborne vehicle requirements in Germany, The Netherlands and various armies around the world.

Ook GDELS komt met een LTV op Eurosatory, de Merlin LTV (Defenture was kort onderdeel van GDELS in 2014 meen ik):

Die nieuwe Merlin van GDELS heeft wel "trekjes" van de Vector, vind ik, misschien hebben ze bij GDELS hun oren en ogen goed de kost gegeven bij een bezoek aan Defenture.

Gelukkig zijn ze opgehouden met het opdringen van zooi die niemand meer nodig heeft. Mooi systeem.

Will US Army go hybrid-electric in next JLTV buy?



The US Army has allocated $7.3 billion to purchase 15,425 JLTVs, potentially including hybrid or electric-drive vehicles to reduce fuel consumption.

The US Army is seeking ways to improve its Joint Light Tactical Vehicle (JLTV) while maintaining its affordability and has released on 9 February an RfP for a $7.3 billion follow-on contract to purchase 15,425 platforms and 7,644 JLTV trailers.

The goal is procuring a vehicle possibly featuring hybridisation or electrification to reduce fuel consumption in line with the new Climate Strategy from the US Army.

The recompete programme will comprise a single five-year requirements contract with initial deliveries scheduled to take place 18 months after the deal is awarded.

Oshkosh Defense unveils first-ever Silent Drive Hybrid Electric JLTV

January 25, 2022

Adds silent drive, extended silent watch, increased fuel economy and exportable power without sacrificing performance or protection

OSHKOSH, Wis. (January 25, 2022) — Oshkosh Defense, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Oshkosh Corporation (NYSE: OSK), unveiled the first-ever silent drive hybrid-electric Joint Light Tactical Vehicle (JLTV), the eJLTV.

The eJLTV offers the U.S. Army and U.S. Marine Corps the same level of performance and protection as the base JLTV with the addition of silent drive, extended silent watch, enhanced fuel economy, and increased exportable power that enables it to be used in combat and reconnaissance scenarios.

The eJLTV charges the battery while in use, fully recharging the lithium-ion battery within 30 minutes.  This eliminates the need for a charging infrastructure, which remains one of the most significant challenges to the widespread electrification of the tactical wheeled vehicle fleet.

"For many years, we've been developing, testing and evolving hybrid-electric variants of our heavy and medium-duty tactical wheeled vehicles," said John Bryant, Executive Vice President for Oshkosh Corporation and President of Oshkosh Defense.  "Now, with the eJLTV, we're offering our military customers an affordable way to electrify their light tactical wheeled vehicle fleet without compromising the off-road performance or superior protection necessary in combat operations."

This year, the U.S. Army plans to recompete the JLTV program and issue a follow-on production contract in September 2022.  The follow-on contract, valued at $6.5 Billion, includes an additional 15,468 vehicles and five order years followed by five options years, extending production through FY32.

"While the U.S. Army has not requested a hybrid-electric JLTV as part of the JLTV recompete, the eJLTV proves that Oshkosh Defense has the team and technical capabilities to produce this highly capable vehicle today," Bryant concluded.

About the eJLTV:

• Maintains the performance and protection of the proven Oshkosh Defense JLTV
• Improves fuel economy by more than 20%
• Provides battery capacity of 30kWh with opportunity for growth
• Eliminates the need for a towed generator by providing export power capacity of up to 115kW

Oshkosh Defense and its parent company, Oshkosh Corporation, have a rich history in electrification and are pushing the boundaries of innovation for customers. One example is the Oshkosh Defense diesel electric Light Combat Tactical Vehicle (LCTV), from which the Oshkosh JLTV is derived. The LCTV was the world's first military vehicle to finish the grueling SCORE Baja 1000 off-road race. In addition, Oshkosh Defense was awarded the contract to develop and manufacture the U.S. Postal Service's Next Generation Delivery Vehicle (NGDV), which calls for the delivery of between 50,000 and 165,000 vehicles over a period of 10 years and will consist of both zero-emission battery electric vehicles (BEV) and fuel-efficient low-emission internal combustion engine vehicles (ICE), upgrading the USPS fleet to be increasingly sustainable.

The world premiere of the new-generation G-Class (model series 464) for emergency crews working on behalf of the state and authorities took place: in Graz, Mercedes-Benz is opening a new chapter in the success story of the off-road vehicle with the largest product revision of the G-Class for Rescue and Special Operations in 29 years (here, "special operations" must be understood as uncommon use, not militarily speaking, as special ops vehicle are designed in a much different shape). A very robust vehicle, the new G-Class for Rescue and Special Operations (model series 464) ensures maximum mobility even under the most difficult conditions. The already brilliant reputation will certainly get new credentials. The first vehicles are already in production for some customers.
