Came across in piece of info on diesel motorcycle being undertaken by ALTIUS with their corporate office in Chennai.
The M1030-M2 670cc JP8 is the latest incarnation of the superlative military motorcycle standing alone as the only military motorcycle capable of operating on JP8, JP5, JP4, AVTUR, JET-A1, Diesel and even Biodiesel. Evolved from HDT's M1030-M1 originally developed and produced for the U.S. Marines in 2004, the M1030-M2 670cc JP8 utilizes the E670-4.500 heavy fuel motorcycle engine with patent pending MAC-CiTM Advanced Multi-fuel Technology producing 20% more power over previous generations. The M2's refined chassis with newly engineered swing arm improves handling while its 5 speed transmission and updated suspension enhance ridability. All new high performance illumination including standard IR and blackout lighting improve tactical performance. An updated exhaust system meets more stringent noise and emission regulations while still maintaining peak performance.
The 2010 M1030-M2 670cc heavy fuel powered military motorcycle with MAC- CiTM Advanced Multifuel Technology has multiple patents pending and represents a breakthrough in military ground vehicle technology.
