Chevrolet has unveiled that Military prototype they teased a while back.

Via The Detroit News:

General Motors Co. and the U.S. Army on Monday showed off the Chevrolet Colorado ZH2, an off-road designed fuel-cell electric vehicle the Army will test next year as it considers the viability of using hydrogen-powered vehicles in military use.

The blowing up aspect is probably overstated on city streets, but how well armored is this going to be? Or is this going to be a support type vehicle not intended for combat use?

“Okay design team, we’re designing a vehicle for the military, what does that mean to you?”

“MAXIMUM FASCIA, MINIMUM FRONT VISIBILITY!”

“Brilliance!”

I’m guessing not much armor:

Specifically, the Army intends to test the Colorado ZH2 fuel cells for quiet, silent watch operation; reduced acoustic and thermal signatures; high torque; low fuel consumption and water by-product for use in the field.

I can see the tagline now: “The Colorado ZH2, the ride height of a Silverado with the outward visibility of the previous gen Camaro!”

Support/Scouting. They like the ability to drive virtually silently

Makes sense, much less thermal emissions as well.

With tires like that who needs visibility?
