Earlier this week, Oshkosh Defense upped the ante on its electric vehicle business by introducing the new eJLTV, described as the “first-ever silent drive hybrid-electric Joint Light Tactical Vehicle.”“The eJLTV offers the U.S. Army and U.S.

Josh Bryant, EVP for Oshkosh Corporation and President of Oshkosh Defense, emphasized the affordability angle. “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,” he said.That thing about using fossil energy to recharge electric vehicle batteries sounds a bit like the current state of affairs for EV owners who drive in areas where the electricity grid still depends on coal or gas power plants.

Oshkosh produced the eJLTV to grab the pole position when the Defense Department re-competes a $6.5 billion follow-on contract that includes an additional 15,468 vehicles and extends production for another 10 years, production through FY32.
