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, 2006-02-27
ArcoTech Ambulance 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 Ambulance is 2.7 m long and 1.5 m wide, small enough even for residential corridors. It has two seats in front and two more in the rear, along with two stretchers. The upper stretcher is generally folded against the roof to improve access space for the lower stretcher. Both stretchers have compact support units to stabilize a patient during the drive to the nearest hospital, but no full automeds. At full speed, the power cells last for 9.6 hours. Subassemblies: Body +3, four small Wheels -1. Powertrain: 30-kW wheeled drivetrain; four 270,000-kWs rechargeable E cells. Occ: 2 NCS, 2 NS. Cargo: 2.5 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.
