“a hybrid conventional-electric propulsion system has other potential benefits, including the ability to enable operations from static positions and potentially on the move, likely at low speeds over shorter distances, in a very quiet all-electric mode. This would help the vehicle’s crew avoid detection, and possibly gain the advantage over opponents, as well as save fuel.”

In the basic idle (750rpm) , the tank uses 10 gallons per hour, 30 gallons per hour in a tactical idle (1500 rpm), and 60 gallons per hour when traveling .
