Electric and hybrid vehicles are the prospects in the automobile industry and gradually people are adapting EV's. However due to some limitations of EVs, currently hybrid vehicles are considered as a practical and adoptable solution for a sustainable way of using vehicles for civilian as well as defence purposes. Hybridization in Defence vehicles has started all over the globe and it is under development. For example, Oshkosh, a US based company, developed a concept of Hybrid- Diesel Light Utility Vehicle for the US Army. Although it is still awaiting production, it can prove to be an asset for the US Military. Hence, there is a market gap which can be fulfilled with the help of the start-up Xpect Innovation's patented technology Regenerative Clutch System.
The Hybrid Military Light Utility Vehicle is a light utility vehicle which is specifically designed for Indian defence purpose. The powertrain of the vehicle will consist of the Regenerative Clutch System, their patented technology, which will assist in the vehicle's hybrid nature. This vehicle will be categorized as a 'B-vehicle' as per the Indian Military Standards.
