Fancy a new Volvo ?
 

I wonder how this would go down on the school run ?

Me wants it!

How many trackrod ends and CV joints does that beast have?

Well I'm glad to see it's a hybrid vehicle, but still worried about the particulates from that diesel engine (although to be fair it's probably Euro7 compliant).

Well it's hybrid untill the electromagnetic pulse hits it, then it's just a shed.

Every survivalist knows, you need mechanical systems to survive modern warfare cos, we ain't the only ones with smart wepons.

Ho hum, sure the politicians will sort it out before it comes to war.:confused_smile:

Paul.

Looks a bit mechanically exposed to me. Not as rugged as it's clothing pretends. I reckon even a minor physical or chemical impact to those track rods would render this vehicle inoperable very quickly. A well-aimed motor shot would be catastrophic, and against an IUD I reckon it hasn't got a chance.

No Worries about it picking up parking dints.

Less movies, more factual knowledge.

If its steel- clad (and not some bulket-proof plastics), it would need to be really, really, REALLY powerful EMP.

Reason being- 99% of that EMP will dissipate on armour before it reaches electronics.

So.. Armour will get slightly warm (from EMP energy)

Jake, hike up the A/C, will you.
And put your foot down, we need to make it to base before all good chow is gone.

Maybe a slightly radioactive shed though :regular_smile:

It might be alright as they seem to have followed the Casspir design. If it can carry the spare parts then it could be okay. I would not want to be outside being a bullet magnet trying to fix it after it had been blown up, but if it is like the Casspir then it can drag itself away on just one pair of wheels to a safer location.
