Reduces fuel consumption by 50%
The AbramsX is equipped with the parallel hybrid electric Powerpack, which is consist of Cummins Advanced Combat Engine (ACE) & SAPA Advanced Combat Transmission(ACT)
ACE have better⛽️efficiency than old type of engines, and it's a smaller engine overall, and generates more power
ACT is a family of high power density transmissions.
This new transmission design removes or replaces the most inefficient elements of a conventional transmission with highly efficient gears, improving transmission efficiency in even the worst situations to over 90%.
New gun for the AbramsX
In comparison with the M256, XM360 has same caliber and length (without muzzle brake) but it is almost half of M256 weight and have lower recoil.

Crew compartment
The weight of the AbramsX is 54 short tons (49 metric tons).
Weight reduced due to the new hybrid engine, lighter tracks, reduced fuel consumption and XM360 gun (which is 1.85 T lighter than M256), also reduced the turret internal volume.
GDLS MD9016 Multi-Function Display for AbramsX and other vehicles
Ultra-rugged, lightweight, and ultra-high-res. The MD9016 multi-function display unit offers outstanding real-time high-definition driver vision across a wide range of combat vehicle platforms.
The AbramsX is equipped w/ Diehl 570P3 track. These track is created for the Abrams diesel version and is a modification of the 570P0, had been in use in Denmark on the 2A5DK, with a larger center guide and different rubber pads.
#1 Leopard-2A5DK
#2 AbramsX
#3 HCVTB
#4 M1A2 SEPv3
The Leo-2's regular 570FT track is engaged by the drive sprocket on the end connectors (same in Abrams), while the 570P0 track is engaged [by the sprocket] on the inside edge of the track shoe.
#1 Diehl 570-FT
#2 Diehl 570-P0
The 570P0 track is visually different as the rubber pads are somewhat smaller in length (to accommodate the drive sprocket) and the end connectors have a somewhat curved profile.
