Feds spending $1.2M on zero-emission light-armoured vehicle feasibility study

Canada’s Department of National Defence has commissioned a $1.2-million digital feasibility study to assess whether a zero-emission light-armoured vehicle—described as solid-state, hydrogen-powered and with a maximum weight of 45,000 pounds—could be possible. The department says there are currently no zero-emission armoured vehicle platforms and expects a report in about 18 months.

Feds spending $1.2M on zero-emission light-armoured vehicle feasibility study

The federal government’s Department of National Defence has awarded a $1.2-million contract for a digital feasibility study aimed at determining the possibility of developing zero-emission light-armoured vehicles.

The article says the work is tied to the government’s “Greening Government Strategy” and related direction to reduce emissions from operations while maintaining operational capability. It reports that the study would be carried out by industry experts and would focus on a specific concept: a solid-state, hydrogen-powered light-armoured vehicle with a maximum weight limit of 45,000 pounds.

According to the report, the department acknowledges that there are currently no zero-emission platforms for armoured vehicles, but argues that a path to procuring and fielding zero-emission platforms requires alternate-fuel capability to be feasible for the Canadian Army. The article also says the expected report is due in 18 months.
