Hybrid-electric drive technology may address the growing energy demands of land warfare in future.
ST Engineering (STE) is showcasing its Terrex s5 hybrid-electric drive (HED) 8×8 armoured fighting vehicle (AFV) at the Singapore Airshow 2026, taking centre stage at its pavilion.
The display is boosted by news that Singapore’s Ministry of Defence awarded a contract in late January for an undisclosed number of Terrex s5, to be designated Titan once in service with the Singapore Army.
Previous defence exhibitions featured the Terrex s5 with a conventional internal combustion engine; this is the first time the HED variant has been showcased. The “s5” denotes the five key attributes ST Engineering highlights: smartness, superiority, sustainability, survivability
