New info about KVT/HVT.

KVT for combined-engine testrig, and HVT for auxiliary-engine testrig.

This vehicle in 1972-73 tested an AIP propulsion system on a M41 modified chassis. It's got liquid air cylinder container, which is capable for 15min underwater operation. The large snorkel on driver's cabin is for crew escape, rather than supply air to the engine.

This vehicle got a MWM D 226-4 60kW diesel engine, driving through ZF 4HP340 transmission, but I assume that this is just a auxiliary power unit, while this 4HP340 transmission is capable for even large power than Leopard 1's 4HP250.

And this is what KVT/HVT is like today.
