With the cost of diesel and fuel consumption both spiraling, the world's armed forces have been quick to support any emerging technologies capable of lessening their reliance on fossil fuels.

In an attempt to display the significant strides taken by the US Armed Forces to become more environmentally friendly and efficient, the US Army's Tank Automotive Research, Development and Engineering Center (TARDEC) displayed its Clandestine Extended Range Vehicle, the highly regarded, highly efficient hybrid vehicle co-developed with Quantum Technologies.

Demonstrated at the 2012 Chicago Auto Show, the CERV has been labeled as one of the "greenest technologies" currently in development.
