  1. “Munro MK_1 Mountain Rescue Edition”

    “Zero Emissions” until the battery goes into thermal runaway and burns the forest down.

    • Or it Fords a Creek, and the Battery Shorts Out, and the Water gets so Polluted that Every Fish Dies…

  2. No such thing as net-zero.
    In fact, most net-zero “things” are bigger consumers of energy and resources than the technology we already have in place.

  3. Does the first one come with a back-up generator?
    You know, in case it runs out of “gas”.

  4. That Scottish rescue unit is going to feel a might sheepish when it runs out of juice half way up the mountain well short of the rescue zone. Dumbest Idea of the week, maybe year.

  5. That F600 with the bananas stumped me.
    I found the same picture in an image search. It is supposedly a ’69, but if that was the case, shouldn’t it have bump side doors? Strange. It does say it is a Brazilian truck. I would expect some differences, but body wise, it doesn’t match anything I’ve seen State-side.

  6. Use ta drive one of them IH armor trucks. hi-lo stick shift for getting that coin up the hills! what surprised me is that the company never trained the newbies how to use booster brakes & amp; they’d run into the back of cars at least once a month.

  7. Most of the heavy trucks were International Cornbinders, 10 to 15-speed except for the box trucks we used that had the Rockwell(?) auto trannys.
    Most of the pickups were Dodges, some Power Wagons.
