The Chevrolet Tahoe and Suburban are two of the most substantial SUVs you can buy, so it’s no wonder that the US Army uses these vehicles to provide transportation for some of its most critical missions.

A company called TORQ Defense Systems has revealed a new electric vehicle that is specifically designed for first responders and bomb disposal teams. The vehicle is called the Light Tactical Electric Vehicle (LTEV) and looks more like an off-road buggy than a normal EV.

What you see here is the hydrogen fuel cell Chevrolet Colorado ZH2 that GM and the US Army have been teasing us with for a while now. The truck was finally revealed at a Military event and it looks awesome.

Chevrolet is teasing the upcoming Colorado-based fuel cell vehicle that it has developed with the US Army under the TARDEC project. The only image we have of this military beast so far is this one dark image.

The Humvee might be set to be replaced when the fighting over the contract finally ends, but the venerable HMMWV is still widely in use by the US military. Recently, the 173rd Airborne brigade was conducting exercises that required them to airdrop vehicles and other materials.

I know many folks who wouldn’t think that a Jeep Wrangler is a cheap vehicle. By military standards, the price of a new Wrangler is a bargain compared to the purpose-built low volume custom vehicles used by soldiers in the field.

A company called Oshkosh Defense is now tasked with building the replacement for the aging fleet of Humvee vehicles that the U.S. military has in use today. The Joint Light Tactical Vehicle or JTLV was chosen recently after a three-year investigation phase.
