Powerful

Performance

Already proven effective on the Oshkosh® Heavy Expanded Mobility Tactical Truck (HEMTT) A3 and Medium Tactical Vehicle Replacement (MTVR), ProPulse technology uses a modular series-hybrid arrangement to simplify the transmission of power to the wheels. Its diesel engine powers a large electric generator distributing power to each axle module, which is driven independently by a dedicated motor controlled from its own power converter. And life-cycle costs are dramatically reduced because the full electric system lowers torque throughout the drivetrain and regenerative braking increases brake life.

Improved

Fuel Economy

ProPulse hybrid diesel-electric system enables significant fuel economy because of a tailored engine control strategy.
