Active propulsion systems in military ground vehicles are powering the vehicles with full capability, however, there still exists a need for advancement toward more electric and hybrid systems which can reduce maintenance cost, idling, fuel use and emissions on a relatively faster pace. Transporting fuel for the battlefield through dangerous routes over long distances is a factor that adds up the fuel cost significantly. It may range from $1 per gallon in a regular civilian situation to $400 per gallon during battlefield. In case of the requirement of airlift, the fuel cost may reach up to $1,000 per gallon especially in warzones. Thus, advanced engines (including electric and hybrid propulsion systems) which may contribute to huge fuel cost saving coupled with elimination of acoustic noise and electromagnetic interference (EMI) levels are expected to achieve greater market penetration during coming decades.

Owing to increased survivability requirements, increased protection measures have been assimilated to the military vehicles which increase overall vehicle weight and in turn lead to decreased reliability, fuel efficiency, and associated vehicle transport capability. Further, burgeoning weight of armor and weapons have also forced the engines to become larger and making the vehicle heavier. Such heavy-weight vehicles have created the need to bring about advancements toward establishing state-of-the-art light-weight military vehicles.
Also, increasing conflicts, political instability, and terrorism activities, coupled with increasing border instability force countries to strengthen their military ground vehicle capabilities. Therefore, the defense forces of various countries including the U.S., India, China, the U.K., Poland, and others are increasing their budget for procuring military ground vehicle with advanced engines for their military personnel. On October 2019, BAE Systems, Inc. debuted Robotic Technology Demonstrator (RTD) unmanned ground vehicle which features autonomous mobility with hybrid electric drive for fuel efficiency to support situational awareness and reconnaissance.
The global military ground vehicle propulsion system industry is one of the most competitive industries with the leading players actively competing against each other to gain a greater share in the industry.
