GM Defense announced in July 2022 that the U.S. Army selected it to provide a battery-electric vehicle for analysis and demonstration. As a subsidiary of General Motors, that vehicle could be based on none other than the GMC Hummer EV pickup (www.sae.org/news/2022/06/hummer-ev-drive), production of which had just begun months before.

Less than a year after that announcement, GM Defense in June 2023 revealed at the Modern Day Marine Expo in Washington, D.C. its Electric Military Concept Vehicle (eMCV). Featuring GM's Ultium Platform, the EV propulsion architecture satisfied the U.S. Army's requirement for a light- to heavy-duty BEV that helps to reduce fossil-fuel reliance in operational and garrison environments.
