“In the case with the JLTV, our goal with the TVEK is 20 percent in fuel savings with 50 percent less engine run time,” he said. “Anti-idle represents the most important, and lowest cost, of the legs to extend mission duration and can improve a vehicle’s typical fuel use, depending on mission profile,” McGrew said. “The TVEK anti-idle program demonstrates the highly functional and complimentary relationship between the Joint Program Office JLTV and GVSC, allowing for rapid technological development that is able to transition to eventual production and fielding,” Nelson said.ĭean McGrew, GVSC Branch Chief for Powertrain Electrification, said the anti-idle system aims to improve on vehicle electrification and hybridization, which also supports Army climate change initiatives.
John Nelson, who is Product Manager for JLTV Systems Integration at JPO-JLTV. “The optimized TVEK anti-idle technology will provide enhanced operational capability to users by reducing the frequency of refueling and increasing silent watch capability for reconnaissance tasks,” said Lt. The anti-idle system automatically cuts engine power to the JLTV during periods of extended idling, not only reducing fuel but also extending silent watch, which is a clear advantage for warfighters who don't want to give away their positions by turning on the vehicle engine unnecessarily.
