New Army hybrid vehicle can power a city block

The Army is working with Oshkosh Truck Corp to develop a new line of Heavy Expanded Mobility Technical Hybrid Trucks. "Oshkosh Truck, the military's exclusive provider of the Army's heavy cargo-hauling HEMTT vehicles, is finishing up prototypes of its electric hybrid. It not only increases gas mileage by about 20 percent from the standard 3 to 4 miles per gallon, it generates enough electricity to power a city block or hospital." (AP)
