Oshkosh Defense's hybrid JLTV can operate silently and offer a power takeoff out in the field.

Oshkosh Defense, the maker of the, the vehicle that was picked in 2015 to replace the Humvee, announced on Tuesday that military procurement services can now opt for hybrid power.

The electric drive system is powered by a lithium-ion battery that's kept charged by the diesel V-8. A full recharge takes just 30 minutes, according to Oshkosh. The eJLTV also features a power takeoff, which can prove handy out in the field. It offers up to 115 kilowatts of power. The Army has already ordered several thousand units of the JLTV since the vehicle was unveiled in 2015, and is planning to order many more. According to John Bryant, president of Oshkosh Defense, the Army hasn't requested a hybrid option just yet but the company is ready to supply it should that situation change. Given the benefits of the technology, it's probably only a matter of time.
