Called the Aggressor Alternative Mobility Vehicle, it offers superior
performance to gasoline or diesel powered platforms, is “virtually
silent” in its operating modes and boasts a “reduced
thermal signature,” noted a company spokesman.
He added that the Aggressor is exceptionally clean. It does not
“produce any emissions throughout the different operating
modes.”
The vehicle will be tested at several Army posts during the course
of the next six months.
Meanwhile, Dennis Wend, executive director of the Army’s
National Automotive Center, suggested the Aggressor stands as a
“model for more efficient, high performance stealth vehicles
through the use of fuel cells and advanced hybrid electric drivetrain
technologies.”
It is the first fuel cell vehicle produced for the Army.
