APS LABS delivers end-to-end vehicle development for advanced mobility and power systems, from concept through design fabrication, controls, integration and prototype delivery. Our vehicle prototyping expertise supports both government and industry partners with customized platforms that integrate novel propulsion, power, and energy technologies within a multitude of vehicle applications.
We partner with collaborators across government, industry, and academia to define mission requirements, design and fabricate experimental systems, and validate performance through rigorous testing. Our facilities and engineering teams are capable of handling full vehicle integration, instrumentation, and both On and Off-road performance evaluation.
Some of our recent accomplishments in vehicle prototyping include the following projects:
- 47% fuel savings in off-road material handler hybrid prototype. Read more in the final technical report, found here.
- Performance enhanced HMMWV, extending silent operation and creating power export capabilities. Read more in the press release here. See more about our defense-related capabilities on our Defense page.
- Vehicle integrated power kit for 120 kW of 600 VDC power generation on FMTV A2s. Read the press release here. See more about our defense-related capabilities on our Defense page.
