Atlis Motor Vehicles, a US startup mobility technology company, has signed a collaborative agreement with a US Military supplier to jointly design and produce new technology to convert military vehicles such as gasoline or diesel-powered High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicles (HMMWVs) into electric vehicles (EVs). Under the agreement, the technology can be sold to third-party customers, including the US and international allies.
ATLIS’s expertise designing, developing, and manufacturing its fully electric XP platform for Class 1-2, light to medium-duty trucks, will be combined with the supplier’s experience in the design, manufacturing, and sale of military-grade equipment.
The Atlis XP platform is the base for the 500-mile range electric ATLIS XT pickup, and it is a stand-alone medium-to-heavy-duty electric platform.
The standard XP platform consists of two identical modular drive systems located in the front and rear of the vehicle, four traction motors, independent suspension, drive-by-wire technology and an ATLIS battery pack.
ATLIS and the unnamed supplier says their joint development work will be able to supply technology to electrify military fleets with longer-range, faster charging, fully-capable vehicles.
Mark Hanchett, CEO of Atlis Motor Vehicles, says: “We’ve always said that anyone who does work should be able to do it in an electric vehicle, without any compromises. This also applies to the men and women of the U.S. military. The XP platform is the basis to create a variety of emissions-free vehicles that can achieve the same performance characteristics of petroleum-powered products needed by the armed forces.”
Arizona-based ATLIS is developing proprietary battery technology and a modular system architecture capable of scaling to meet the specific needs of the all-electric vehicle.
