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.

LSP AC7 Skitrack v1.0 (GURPS Traveller TL8) Copyright 2006 by Onno Meyer On some of the 11,00 worlds of the Imperium, even the equatorial zones are frigid. There, skitracks are just as common and just as vital as they were in the remote northern areas of 20th century Earth. The Ling Standard Products AC7 is a two-seat model. The driver and the passenger sit over the engine/transmission and the track, with the small cargo box under the seat padding, a fuel tank in front of the driver and motorcycle-style controls. At high speed the ride can be bumpy, but the compact AC7 handles well on narrow forest trails. At routine travel speed, the engine burns 0.45 gallons of gasoline or diesel per hour. A full load of diesel is $12. Subassemblies: Body +0, Skitrack +0. Powertrain: 15-kW tracked drivetrain; 15-kW ceramic engine; 1,000-kWs advanced battery. Fuel: 10 gallons diesel (fire 6).
