This is a weekly posting with GURPS vehicles (and the like) to the GURPSnet mailing list. I grant the permission for all non-commercial redistribution of my work, but I would like to know if you put it on a website or the like. With a slight delay, old vehicles appear at http://omeyer.gmxhome.de/GURPSnet_files/summary.html Onno Meyer, 2006-04-03
ArcoTech Van v1.0 (GURPS Traveller TL9) Copyright 2006 by Onno Meyer On very inhospitable planets, populations are often concentrated in a few arcologies. Vehicles for use within these buildings differ from the open country models - size matters, and bigger isn't always better. The ArcoTech Van seats a single driver. Open doors allow him to enter and exit on both sides without any problems. Behind the driver is the 5 cubic meter cargo compartment, which can be accessed with a large door in the back or by reaching over the back of the seat. The ArcoTech Van has a computer with cellular modem to link into the dispatch system of the arcology. At full speed, the power cells last for 20 hours. Subassemblies: Body +3, four small Wheels -1. Powertrain: 15-kW wheeled drivetrain; four 270,000-kWs rechargeable E cells. Occ: RCS. Cargo: 180 cf.

The TL9 vehicle uses the design rules from Vehicles [2nd edition, 3rd printing, Dec 2004 errata], VXi and VXii (including the armor volume rule) with the text format from Vehicles Lite. The Traveller rules affect the background but not the technology of this design.
