Daryo Jan 11, 2013:
this "Banc UD45" itself is to be converted into a generator - grammatically it's what's on the tin, and practically it makes perfect sense.

Agree with Herbie
Herbie Jan 11, 2013:
"convertien" stems from "converti en". It looks as if the mysterious Banc UD45 has been or is being converted to a generator.

to be used as an alternator

Not sure what this "Banc UD45" is, so I'm not really sure here... But it seems safe to say that it will be used as an alternator.

Les seize firmes qui y participent et leurs dix-neuf sous-traitants se sont associés cet été pour réaliser un démonstrateur fonctionnel de VAB moderne à partir d'un GKN Warrior converti en véhicule de reconnaissance.

Try Googling it

The SACM UD45 is already a diesel motor used in generating sets; here, what they must be saying is that one of these units had hitherto been set aside for use as a test bed, but that now it is going to be brought into 'proper' service as an operational genset, presumably by coupling it to a new alternator. The idea is not expressed terribly clearly in FR IMHO, but that surely has to be what it means here.

Try this, among many other Ghits:
