Partnering with Electrogenic, Babcock will convert four in-service military Land Rovers, two protected vehicles and two general service, from diesel to EV using a drop-in kit and modified battery system.

The vehicles will then be put to the test by the Armoured Trials and Development Unit (ATDU) in a series of experimental battlefield / military scenarios, which will assess performance over steep terrain, wading and towing, and different climate-related conditions.

Chris Spicer, Babcock’s Managing Director of Engineering and Systems Integration – Land, said: “This is a great opportunity to investigate alternative engine technology, which will enable the British Army to extend the life of its Land Rovers as diesel becomes obsolete. I’m excited to see how the converted Land Rovers perform in a test environment against diesel and hybrid equivalents.

“Sustainability is an integral part of our corporate strategy and by partnering with Electrogenic, we’ll be supporting the MOD to be prepared for the shift to electric vehicles from 2030 and the UK in reaching its goal of net zero carbon emissions by 2050 .”

Babcock International was awarded the contract by Defence Equipment and Support (DE&S), the procurement arm for the UK Armed Forces. Corporal Bryan Munce, from the Armoured Trials and Development Unit (ATDU) at MOD Bovington, said: “ATDU is supporting Defence to fully realise the strengths and weaknesses of electric vehicle technology through Project LURCHER. Mobility performance, exportable power, signature and cost reduction are just some of the considerations we will explore while partnering with Electrogenic and Babcock. In understanding what could enable our forces, it also informs MOD of potential threats to be cognizant of, to enhance our strategic approach.”

Steve Drummond, Co-Founder of Electrogenic, added: “We are delighted to be working with Babcock, and we’re immensely proud to be putting our market-leading EV technology to the ultimate test with the British Army. To be selected is a testament to the sophistication of our technology, and our years of experience developing Land Rover EV conversions.

Following the launch of its electric Land Rover ‘Series’ Everrati has added the iconic Range Rover Classic and Land Rover Defender to its portfolio with cutting-edge electric powertrain technology fit for the 21st century.

Range Rover Classic, a vehicle that shook up the automotive 4×4 sector when first launched in 1970, was ahead of its time by combining rugged performance with luxury, comfort, and prestige.

Meanwhile, the Land Rover Defender remains one of the most revered off-road vehicles of all time, synonymous with toughness, utility and unstoppable 4×4 performance.

Everrati’s expert team of engineers meticulously incorporate its proven, state-of-the-art OEM-grade electric powertrain designed and developed at its global headquarters in Oxfordshire, England.

Combined with the very latest in sustainable luxury materials, each vehicle is bespoke to individual owners’ specifications, whilst retaining the vehicle’s original character and DNA – both dynamically and aesthetically.

Pricing of the Range Rover Classic will be £230,000 plus VAT and the donor vehicle, meanwhile the Land Rover Defender will be £185,000, plus VAT and donor vehicle.

An electric motor is simply bolted to the Defender’s existing clutch bell housing, so the vehicle keeps all its gears.  It packs 120 bhp and 235 Nm of torque – comparable power and torque to the original diesel engine. 52kWh of batteries are mounted under the bonnet gives 100+ miles of range on-road and considerably more when driving off-road or around a farm. As standard, the kit is equipped for 7.5kW AC overnight charging via a Type 2 connector. Faster charging can be specified as an optional extra.

Steve Drummond, Electrogenic co-founder, said, “This new electric conversion kit is a really exciting development for us. We do high-specification conversions for road-warriors, but this kit is all about giving landowners an economic, sustainable option.  It’s easy to install and uses Electrogenic’s proprietary technology.  It gives Land Rover Defenders – long a trusty workhorse for farms up and down the country – an affordable new lease of life, reducing running costs while enhancing performance and driveability around the estate. After an extensive development programme, in partnership with automotive experts at Cardiff University, we also know that it future-proofs the traditional Defender, readying it for decades of reliable, sustainable service as we enter the age of low-carbon agriculture.”

Drummond concluded: “Defenders fitted with our easy to install kits do everything required of them on the farm quietly and efficiently. They are always there ready for use – just unplug and drive away; no more factoring in trips to the petrol station, and instant heat on cold frosty mornings. An electrified Defender can also represent one more step towards a farm achieving its sustainability goals. The converted Defenders really deliver on all fronts, and we’re sure they’ll serve farmers ably for many years to come.

The conversion kit has a indicative price of £24,000+VAT (plus fitting)
