500-mile autonomous hybrid military EV for US: Harbinger and Rheinmetall unveil truck concept
- Rockets, robots, and relentless automation! Harbinger and Rheinmetall are engineering the Praesidia: a 500-mile autonomous hybrid military EV. This isn’t just a truck; it’s an AI-ready, drive-by-wire logistics platform designed for “attritable mass.” By swapping drivers for advanced autonomy and teleoperation, we keep soldiers out of harm’s way while deploying cheap, disposable hardware. The electric architecture offers stealthy, low-heat operations and acts as a mobile power plant—exporting 100kW to charge drones or directed-energy weapons. It’s the physical layer of future warfare: rugged, intelligent, and electrified. We’re automating the battlefield’s backbone, turning logistics into a scalable, tech-driven asset. The factory floor is moving to the front lines.
