U.S. Army orders six hydrogen hybrid tanks (?) from Quantum
The U.S. Army has ordered six hydrogen hybrid vehicles from Quantum Fuel Systems Technologies Worldwide, the company announced today. The press release (read it after the jump) doesn't specify what type of vehicles these are/will be, but they will be used by TARDEC, the Army's Tank Automotive Research, Development and Engineering Center. Doesn't take too much thinking to realize that if these Quantum vehicles aren't tanks, then the Army is at least looking to move the technology into tanks in the future. You tax dollars at work.Quantum has been working with the Army on other projects. See these links:
