After signing a contract in July 2022 with the United States ministry of defense, Canoo is now starting to fulfill its promise to be able to provide electric cars specifically for the United States army.
Electric vehicle startup Canoo began delivering special electric vehicles for the United States Army. The first electric car sent to the United States Army is presented in the form of an electric pickup, the same as the one that will be marketed in 2023. However, there are significant differences between the two.
This electric pickup is part of the first contract agreed, which is to provide 4,500 vans for after their factory in Oklahoma is established in 2023. Canoo is also responsible for delivering electric demonstration vehicles and Lights Tactical Vehicle (LTV) tactical vehicles.
The LTV is believed to be a modified version of the Canoo pickup truck variant whose front end is the same as the Lifestyle Vehicle model which will be sold in general.
Canoo says the LTV uses Kevlar carbon to increase the strength of the vehicle while reducing weight. Canoo says the LTV has adaptability, where the LTV can be changed from a pickup to a flatbed truck, cargo vehicle, or other configuration. Canoo says the electric car will be able to spit out 600 horsepower.
