The LDT-1 is light, four-wheel-drive, single-seat utility vehicle, developed by V.M.E as an affordable personel and commercial off-roader that can be deployed on almost every colony that is somewhat habitable for man. A connected air-vent filters oxygen into the drivers cabin. If no atmosphere is present, the vehicle can produce air directly from ice.
While lacking armament, protection and space for tactical equipment, the LDT-1 still found its place into law enforcement and some colonies militia.

Driven by an Hydrogen Engine, the truck holds a total of four small hydrogen tanks and has the ability to produce additional fuel and oxygen through its onboard o2/h2-generator. Two Hydrogen Boosters enable the vehicle to quickly accelerate out of a dangerous situation or climb steep hills. This feature has to be used with caution, though.
A large battery serves as capacitor to face powerspikes and store additional energy.

A set of two small cargo containers provide personal cargo space. In order to extend its limited capabilities, the LDT-1 comes with a tow hitch that can be utilized to combine it with a variaty of trailers.


Inspiration
The overall design of this rover and the front-section in general was heavily influenced by Doctor Budgies Mouse Rover, who allowed me to use it for this build. If you like this vehicle, please hop over and give him a a thumbs up as well!
