Aahh ...... now I understand.
The Leopard tank is actually based on a BMW body pan, Merc engine and gearbox, with Audi supplying the technik. All covered in plating resistant to anti tank weaponry. Blindingly obvious really!
No wonder they are anti the fossil fuel ban. 60+ tons of Leopard is sort of difficult to move any distance by volts alone. And if tanks thrive on diesel, why not motors.
