Soldiers need to be able to ford all kinds of obstacles and their vehicles, be they truck, bike, plane or boat, need to get them where they need to go to get the job done.

Over the years, military vehicles have evolved from bicycles to behemoths. Technology has evolved as warfare changes. It used to be that speed and power dictated who was superior but now the requirement for electronics is paramount. These days you need to be able to do it all.

Some vehicles are designed to tackle any job, while others were made for a specific purpose. This list is a collection of some of the the most terrible military vehicles used by forces around the world for the last century.

11. TARDEC 

A hybrid electric military vehicle – who would’a thunk it? The US Army Tank-Automotive Research Development Engineering Command aka TARDEC, have designed this High-Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle (HMMWV), specifically this Reconnaissance Surveillance Targeting Vehicle (RST-V) to run on high power lithium-ion batteries.

The battery means the vehicle can run longer missions between refuels and conduct silent watches. Reconnaissance help aside, this is a step in the right direction given rising fuel costs. Assuming the vehicle works out and would get produced in reasonable quantities, the price per unit would be very cost-effective, at around $250,000 each.

At this point, the hybrid soccer-mom SUV with armor for the modern soldier is still a concept rather than a reality, but TARDEC is taking steps in the right direction with this winner.
