The US Army has chosen Australia-based company Tritium to support its Power Transfer Cohort programme, an initiative to help the Army transition to electric vehicles (EVs).
The programme has been created to help identify and explore whether EV-enabling technologies can work across the Army’s fleet, which comprises almost 225,000 vehicles.
Hanwha Defense’s Redback to use Soucy’s Composite Rubber Track System Our Bureau 595
Redback Infantry Fighting Vehicle
Soucy’s Composite Rubber Track system will be fitted to the Redback Infantry Fighting Vehicle produced by Hanwha Defense under an agreement signed today.
The Redback is under consideration by the Commonwealth under an ongoing tender process for Project LAND 400 Phase 3, which is an $18 billion to $27 billion project tasked to acquire 450 Infantry Fighting Vehicles for the Australian Defence Force.
Soucy’s Composite Rubber Track (CRT) offers many advantages over conventional metal track designs including up to 70% less vibration, up to 13.5 decibels of noise reduction, less weight, better manoeuvrability, up to 80% less maintenance, and better efficiency that enables higher top vehicle speeds or fuel savings of up to 30%.

TORRANCE, Calif., April 27, 2021 /PRNewswire/
Tritium, a global leader in DC fast charging technology for electric vehicles (EVs), today announced that it has been selected to participate in the Power Transfer Cohort, powered by the Army Applications Laboratory (AAL) in collaboration with Alion Science and Technology. This program focuses on advancing solutions that will support remote access, rapid recharging, and scalable infrastructure to help the Army move to EVs. Tritium is the only DC fast charging provider which was selected for the program.
Companies in the Cohort will work directly with the Next Generation Combat Vehicle Cross Functional Team (NGCV) and the Ground Vehicle Systems Center (GVSC) to identify and explore EV infrastructure technologies that can work across the diverse fleet of ~225,000 Army vehicles operating in the most demanding environments.

WASHINGTON: How do you recharge electric vehicles on the battlefield? Army Futures Command is looking for out-of-the-box ideas, so it’s awarded $600,000 in concept development grants to six companies that don’t normally do business with the military.
Refueling Army formations is a huge logistical problem – fuel convoys in Afghanistan and Iraq were often more dangerous than combat patrols – but moving from fossil fuel to electric vehicles raises logistical dilemmas of its own. There’s no infrastructure of charging stations (or gas pumps) on the battlefield, so you need a fast way to transfer power in difficult places.
