We know that the future of automobiles is electric. Combustion engines are on their way out, and major car companies are already pledging to make their fleets all-electric within the next ten years, and this means that other branches of industry need to follow suit, including the military space.
As reported on by Top Gear, the British Army is looking to explore electric vehicle options for the future, with this beginning with a few restomodded Land Rovers, which will see the original car's diesel engines removed and replaced with an electric powertrain so that they can be tested against their combustion engine counterparts to see how effective they will be in practice.
It's noted that four EV Land Rovers will be built as part of a one-year contract at the moment, and that they will be tested with a variety of tasks and in an array of climates and environments.
