Major trends in the forecast period include hybrid and electric platforms, next-generation batteries, modular and adaptable systems, artificial intelligence (ai) and autonomous features, urban warfare adaptability.

The increasing fuel efficiency is anticipated to drive the growth of the military vehicle electrification market in the future. Fuel efficiency refers to a vehicle's or machine's capacity to achieve maximum output or performance while consuming minimal fuel. This efficiency is improving due to technological advancements, stricter environmental regulations, rising fuel costs, and a growing consumer demand for sustainable and cost-effective transportation options. Military vehicle electrification is essential for enhancing fuel efficiency, reducing fuel consumption, improving operational range, and alleviating logistical challenges related to fuel supply in remote or hostile areas. For example, in July 2022, a report from the Energy Information Administration (EIA), a U.S. government agency, indicated that vehicle efficiency increased by an average of 2% between April 2021 and April 2022 in the United States. Additionally, in April 2022, the U.S. Department of Transportation, a federal executive department, announced new fuel economy standards that mandate an 8% annual increase in fuel efficiency for model years 2024-2025 and a 10% annual increase for model year 2026. Therefore, the rising fuel efficiency is fueling the growth of the military vehicle electrification market.

The expected rise in fuel prices is set to propel the growth of the military vehicle electrification market. Increasing fuel prices, primarily for gasoline and diesel, make traditional military vehicles with internal combustion engines expensive to operate. Electrification provides an alternative to reduce fuel consumption and operating costs for military organizations. For instance, in January 2023, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, fuel prices increased by 19.4% from December 2021 to December 2022 in the U.S. Additionally, the Office for National Statistics reported a 48% increase in automotive fuel prices in the UK from 2021 to 2022. Therefore, the upward trend in fuel prices is driving the growth of the military vehicle electrification market.

A key trend gaining traction in the military vehicle electrification market is product innovation. Major companies in this market are prioritizing product innovations to provide better solutions and strengthen their market position. In June 2022, Textron Inc., a U.S.-based company in military vehicle electrification, introduced an advanced military electrification solution for existing armored vehicles. This solution aims to retain the advanced mobility of traditional drivelines by utilizing technologies to meet the pressing requirements of military users. Textron's solution allows for faster vehicle electrification than whole-vehicle design programs, enabling the export of electric power to charge other systems and running vehicles in full-electric silent mode on the battlefield.

Major companies in the military vehicle electrification market are concentrating on technological advancements, such as infantry fighting vehicles, to deliver both armored protection and improved mobility. An infantry fighting vehicle (IFV) is a heavily armed and armored combat vehicle designed to transport and support infantry during battles while providing firepower and protection against enemy forces. For example, in February 2024, ST Engineering, a Singapore-based technology, defense, and engineering firm, introduced the Hybrid-Electric 35-ton Armored Fighting Vehicle. This hybrid-electric drive kit, which can also be integrated into other platforms, provides additional power for digital capabilities like enhanced situational awareness and supports an open architecture for AI-driven software integrations. The vehicle features an AI-powered surveillance optical radar that uses machine learning to detect and map target locations and distances, while manned-unmanned teaming facilitates efficient mission planning and execution.

In April 2022, Textron Inc., a U.S.-based aviation and aerospace component manufacturing company, acquired Pipistrel for $221.94 million (€218 million). This acquisition aims to enhance Textron Inc.'s product portfolio in the electrification of military vehicles and gain a competitive advantage in the aerospace and defense sector. Pipistrel Group, a Slovenia-based aircraft manufacturer specializing in electric aircraft, has become part of Textron's newest business division, Textron eAviation. This aligns with Textron's long-term goal of providing environmentally friendly aircraft for urban air mobility, general aviation, freight, and mission roles.

Military vehicle electrification involves the conversion of military vehicles from traditional fossil fuel sources to electricity, powering light-duty vehicles, as well as medium and heavy-duty trucks. The primary objective of this electrification is to mitigate the emission of greenhouse gases.

The main technologies drive military vehicle electrification: hybrid and fully electric. A hybrid military vehicle can utilize both fuel and battery power. These vehicles capture and store energy through braking and deceleration, converting kinetic energy into electricity. Military vehicles can operate either with a manned crew or autonomously/semi-autonomously. Electrification systems play a crucial role in combat, support, and unmanned armored vehicles, contributing to power generation, cooling systems, energy storage, traction drive systems, and power conversion.
