The car has a tubular frame that houses the engine, the driver’s seat, and boxes or racks for carrying goods in the back and front.

The vehicle is easily adaptable to varied missions, such as the evacuation of victims or the delivery of loads. They are perfect for Last Mile Delivery (LMD) duties because of their capacity to move through snow-covered, uneven terrain for extended periods of time.
