UTAC, formerly known as Millbrook proving ground, is supporting the Ministry of Defence (MoD) with the Technology Demonstrator 6 (TD6) military programme which aims to determine the benefits that hybrid vehicles may bring to today’s battlefield mission.
TD6 commenced in January 2020 and is being managed by UTAC .The programme entails two main strands of work; firstly is to gather data on hybrid and electric vehicle technologies from across the UK industry.
The second strand of work is focused on demonstrating potential benefits and drawbacks of vehicle hybridisation in a military context.
The core element is a series of tests, conducted at UTAC’s proving ground, to benchmark a sample of hybridised military vehicles against their existing capabilities.
