GM Defense revealed their Next Gen tactical vehicle prototype at the Association of the U.S. Army 2024 conference at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center. It’s based on the Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD ZR2 truck, and combines GM’s 2.8L Duramax turbo-diesel engine with a 12-module battery pack.
The Next Gen tactical vehicle prototype may not look stealthy, but it has electric drive motors for the front and rear axles that enable Silent Drive as well as Silent Watch, making it much harder to detect in the battlefield. Other features include onboard power to support high-energy-demand sensors, roll-over protection, anti-lock braking, electronic stability control, four / five-point seat belt harnesses, and 360-degree camera capabilities.
