The deal is said to be 99% complete and Autoblog Green reports that the Governor of Delaware has confirmed that the deal is happening on local radio stations. Fisker's powertrain partner, Quantum Fuel Systems Technologies Worldwide, has also announced news. The company has announced a fuel-efficient, high-performance diesel hybrid powertrain called Q-Force.

The platform has reportedly been in development for the last six years. The platform is a JP-8 fuel compatible diesel engine with a series of hybrid electric military Alternate Mobility Vehicle (AMV) batteries. In one of the powertrain configurations, the diesel engine produces 75 horsepower and the electric motor produces 133 horsepower.

The much more impressive figure for the configuration is that it delivers 5,463 foot-pounds of torque. The system utilizes regenerative braking and has a Sophisticated Control and Data Acquisition System.

Alan P. Niedzwiecki, President and CEO of Quantum said, "Our innovative diesel hybrid electric all-wheel drive system provides high performance, acceleration and extended range, resulting in significant advantages for the U.S. Army in communications, surveillance, targeting, and reconnaissance missions. We believe that Quantum's Q-Force drivetrain is also very well-suited for commercial applications including homeland security, border patrol, park service operations, and light-duty automobiles."
