Exciting Progress at Yuma Proving Grounds for the AMEP Program
We are thrilled to announce that the Advanced Mobility Experimental Prototype (AMEP) has recently completed successful testing at Yuma Proving Grounds, following last year’s achievements at Camp Grayling. In collaboration with the U.S. Army’s Ground Vehicle Systems Center (GVSC) and Cummins, this phase of testing has further validated our efforts to optimize AMEP’s powerpack and control systems to meet extreme mobility metrics. The rigorous testing at Yuma involved navigating challenging cross-country terrain with grades of up to 60%, as well as acceleration and top-speed trials. Powered by Cummins' Advanced Combat Engine (ACE) and SAPA’s ACT transmission, AMEP demonstrated significant advancements in fuel efficiency, cooling systems, and overall vehicle range. This marks a key milestone in our ongoing commitment to delivering cutting-edge mobility solutions for future combat vehicles. We are excited about the progress made and look forward to sharing more updates as testing continues. Stay tuned for further developments and check out the video of the testing.
