During the first three months or so of the U.S. and Israeli war with Iran, the dominant mood on oil markets was that the conflict would end any day now. The brief June ceasefire reinforced that optimism, so it took a while longer for facts to be faced: the war would not end any day now.

Across the U.S., a final-mile network operates in a similar yet predictable manner: a small truck, a short route, one person in the cab. The U.S. Army runs that same network, except it has more challenges for the person in the cab and the route. Harbinger , the Garden Grove, Calif., builder of electric and hybrid medium-duty chassis, is supplying prototype trucks to tackle what the Army refers to as the last tactical mile. It started with American Rheinmetall, which was awarded an 18-month Army contract on July 31 for Project Sustainment. It is an effort to field hybrid-powered uncrewed ground
