The KAPLAN HYBRID Vehicle exhibited for the first time by FNSS at IDEF 2023 International Defense Industry Fair. FNSS made a significant breakthrough in areas such as the indigenous design and development of new generation drive systems, suspension systems, gearboxes and powertrains in line with the development and adaptation of new generation technologies for armoured combat vehicles. HYBRID Power Group development project started in the FNSS R&D Centre in 2021. The assembly of the first prototype vehicle was completed and control software development and improvement activities continue. The critical verification tests are planned to start towards the end of 2023. With this project, FNSS aims to develop a unique hybrid power pack solution that can be integrated into tracked platforms in its product range and likely to be produced in the future, and to all tracked vehicle families in need of capability enhancement and life extension.
With the Hybrid Power Group, another important goal is to produce a reliable alternative solution for tracked vehicle transmission.
