"I am excited about our next-generation diesel hybrid powertrain technologies and our new military special operations vehicle that is well-positioned to create another highly fuel-efficient and powerful platform that improves the military's tactical capabilities," says Niedzwiecki.

He says the CERV program offers a revolutionary platform for the national defense effort, while also decreasing the use of fuel used by these agencies.

Funding support on the project is being provided by the U.S. Special Operations Command.

Quantum is a key player in the alternative fuel industry: The firm co-founded Irvine-based Fisker Automotive with Hot 25 honoree Henrik Fisker in 2007. In 2008, the firm introduced its Q-Drive, a gasoline plug-in hybrid system, for the Fisker Karma sedan.
