ASSAN General Manager Gürcan Okumuş stated that the firm will exhibit its hybrid powerpack for military vehicles, putting out 1000 hp of power in IDEF25.
Gürcan Okumuş, mentioning the shift towards hybrid powerpacks for military vehicles, announced that ASSAN will display its 1000 hp powerpack for military vehicles during the IDEF25 defence exhibition to be held in Istanbul. Okumuş underlined that the IP rights of the powerpack belong to ASSAN.
With this, ASSAN has joined the club of hybrid powerpack developers in Turkiye; which consists of FNSS, Tümosan, ASELSAN, and MKE.
The 1000 hp powerpack can power IFVs and SPGs of identical weight class when the usual engine power range of such vehicles is considered.
ASSAN has been taking part in the production of powerpack components for various military vehicles, including combat vehicles. Thus, this represents a goal to go further towards new generation powerpacks in complete form and become a supplier in future projects, which are likely to involve hybrid powerpacks rather than full-on internal combustion ones.
