INDIANAPOLIS–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Oct 25, 2018–Allison Transmission, the world’s largest manufacturer of commercial-duty automatic transmissions and a leader in hybrid propulsion systems, has expanded its partnership with Leonardo DRS to develop On-Board Vehicle Power (OBVP) systems for military vehicles.
The OBVP system is intended for a heavier class of military vehicle – the 44-ton Oshkosh Heavy Expanded Mobility Tactical Truck (HEMTT) equipped with Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) anti-ballistic missile launchers. OBVP will improve agility and reduce logistics costs because the vehicle will no longer have to be equipped with an external or trailered generator. (Photo: Oshkosh Defense)
