Humvee Hybrid Conversion
"retrofitted electric hybrid hummer". You drive a
what? Wouldn't you prefer a
HYBRID HUMMER.
"Humvee" comes from "HMMWV",
a military term for "High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled
Vehicle".

Our
simple conversion comprises of a modified differential unit to incorporate
the electric motor into the vehicles drive line. The
modified differential unit has an
additional pinion gear assemble in a custom made housing. This housing replaces
the cover plate on the rear of the existing live rear axle. The
system can be recharged via the grid and regenerative breaking.
In The News
Obama's Pet Projects: Lasers,
Hybrid Hummers
Obama has landed $1 million for the Illinois Institute of Technology
to
develop a cost-effective conversion kit to retrofit Army Humvees with electric
hybrid systems. It's a trick the military has been trying to pull of for
years a hybrid can run whisper-quiet, and without gorging
itself of fuel. But the generals have to get themselves the battlefield equivalent of a Prius.
My Comment;
I have been informing the US military of our simply conversions and
have never received a reply.
Our conversion is ready for production. Funding is the only thing
holding us back.
