Allison Transmission is charging ahead in the evolution of military vehicle technology with the announcement of a major contract for Phase 2 of the U.S. Army’s Next Generation Electrified Transmission (NGET) program. This new phase builds on the foundational work completed during Phase 1 and pushes deeper into advancing electric hybrid propulsion systems for modern combat vehicles.

Awarded by the Ground Vehicle Systems Center (GVSC), the Phase 2 contract will focus on enhancing the eMachine and inverter systems at the core of Allison’s electrified drivetrain technology. The goal? To introduce flexible power modes that increase vehicle capabilities while dramatically cutting down noise—an increasingly vital factor for stealth and survivability on the battlefield.

This is more than a continuation of a government program; it’s a decisive step toward future-proofing military mobility. With noise reduction, energy efficiency, and silent operation as key performance drivers, Allison’s technology is designed to provide tactical advantages that legacy systems can’t match. The project also reflects Allison’s growing momentum in defense electrification, as seen in its eGen Force™ hybrid system, which has already been selected by American Rheinmetall for the U.S. Army’s XM30 combat vehicle program.

Dana Pittard, Vice President of Defense Programs at Allison, emphasized how this next phase reflects the company’s commitment to not just meet military requirements, but exceed them. “We’re building on the success of Phase 1 to deliver propulsion systems that are silent, efficient, and powerful—systems that give our warfighters a clear edge,” he said.

The eGen Force transmission system stands out as a high-efficiency hybrid architecture that combines a multi-gear range pack with a powerful electric generator. Its ability to provide both silent mobility and long-range endurance makes it ideally suited for current and future tracked combat vehicles, even up to 75 tons. By blending torque from an internal combustion engine and an electric motor, the system offers a unique combination of flexibility, fuel efficiency, and reduced thermal and acoustic signatures—key factors in combat vehicle survivability.

As defense forces across the globe modernize for new threats and environments, Allison Transmission is positioning itself as a leader in the electrified future of defense mobility—where power, stealth, and efficiency converge.
