Diesel-Electric Hybrid (Biodiesel and Filtered vegetable oil compatible) engine sits underneath passenger compartment. Entry is through the hatchback (the rear bumper serves as a step also). The hood opens to a trunk area. Computer assisted steering allows for the use of a standard steering wheel. Rubber tank-like tread allows for quick stopping and maneuvering without tearing up the road or land, rubber pads easily replaceable and/or rotatable. No mirrors, 4 almost invisible cameras adorn the vehicle with dash mounted monitor. At around 2 and a half tons the 500 hp diesel plus the 67 hp electric allow freeway speeds with ease. Retractable bumpers down for traffic, mostly for their safety. (up for off-road, more clearance) Forget potholes, manholes without covers, small walls, shallow rivers/flooding.
