"The LTV is another milestone proving the power of our technology and how it can be used, even in tactical situations," said Tony Aquila, chairman and CEO at Canoo."This is a winning algorithm for our customers and company."We've certainly seen special forces take an interest in electric bikes, due to their quiet operation and ease of use in certain environments, but a small electric cargo trucklet is certainly another direction that some militaries will pursue.
What it does have on its side is lots of power and torque, so it could certainly tow things over a variety of terrain."The LTV has a proprietary all-wheel-drive system with up to 600 hp. To support the increased demands of off-road environments, the LTV incorporates air-springs, a raised suspension, and 32-inch all-terrain tires to build higher ground clearance suitable for extreme or rugged conditions," the startup says.
We wouldn't hold our breath to see the Canoo LTV on the front lines anytime soon, but at least the startup isNow, all Canoo needs to do is to to team up with an armoring specialist and beef up the suspension to allow for an extra thousand pounds of weight for something resembling VR9 ballistic specification.
