The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine will conduct a Workshop to explore how the Army can target its science and technology (S&T) investments to incorporate battery electric vehicle (BEV) and fuel cell electric vehicle (FCEV) technologies into its light combat vehicle fleet by 2050.

The workshop will focus on technologies that show the most promising applications for electrifying the Army’s various light tactical vehicles; research challenges and opportunities for energy storage, transportation, and refueling/recharging in the field; and how Army needs compare with commercial sector application.
