ElectriTruck v1.0 (TL 10) Copyright 1996 by Onno Meyer The ElectriTruck is a cargo vehicle between a van and an 18-wheeler. It could be used e.g. in the transport network between wholesale and retail businesses. The payload is usually limited by the size of the cargo compartment: 8' by 8' by 25'. It is accessible by a hydraulic ramp that acts as a lift from street level to the floor of the cargo hold. Slung beneath that 'box' is an array of 30 rechargeable E-cells which accounts for more than half of the pricetag and gives a range of about 450 miles. The truck can drive itself with a LLTV and dual computers. In addition to the driver's seat, the cab holds another full seat and one smaller seat. The truck is a TL10 vehicle [July 96 errata sheet].
