Supacat looks towards electric Light Role Vehicle
The electric Light Role Vehicle will provide silent and stealth mobility in addition to sustainability benefits. Supacat has already developed the chassis and is working on the electric driveline for LRV.
UK company Supacat is working to build an electric version of its Light Role Vehicle (LRV), to deliver enhanced stealth capabilities as well as sustainability benefits.
During an online demonstration on 18 February, Toby Cox, deputy head of support at Supacat, explained that R&D of the electric LRV will capitalise on the knowledge and experience the company gained with the Electric All Terrain Mobility Platform (eATMP).
‘For the next-generation, LRV will have the additional capabilities of hybridisation as an option to suit our customers,’ Cox claimed.
He added that this effort aligns with the MoD Science and Technology Strategy 2020
