Uberoo Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 So its driven like a train or large dumptruck.A diesel engine to charge the batteries and motors in the wheels for drive.I'm not to happy about its $250,000 each cost compared to a armored humvee at $140,000.

nipper Posted December 30, 2013 Author Share Posted December 30, 2013 Well the military has said it wants a hybrid as it's next jeep like truck for the ability of silent running, so i think no matter who they choose they will be pricey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uberoo Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 I'm fine with it if 250,000 is the cheapest it can be made and still function as intended but like all military projects there is a certain amount of fat that could be trimmed for instance,the uh-60 helicopter has a $17,000 oil pan because its made by a well connected contractor...
