The Edison is a special vehicle created solely to provide energy.  It is in reality simply a huge mobile generator, run off of either CHOOH2 or by deployable soalr panels.  It creates and stores enough energy to run a city block for 3 days off its CHOOH2 tanks, half that if the solar panels are used, although they can only be used in direct sunlight.  The solar panel is stored on the right side of the truck and unrools and unfolds like a large tarp to roughly twice the length and three times the width of the vehicle itself.  In order to maximize mobility, the Edison usually feeds directly from a CHOOH2 tanker instead of depleting its own tanks.

SPECIAL EQUIPMENT: military radio, GPS, solar and gasoline powered generator.

The Chinese are insane, the idea that they could build this proves it, as no sane country would ever want something of this nature.  The TPSX-25 is a mobile miniature nuclear power plant, the same kind used in nuclear powered submarines, capable of providing power to a small city.  Presumably it was built so that in case of war or emergency, they could provide electricity to an entire army in the field, without depleting necessary fuel supplies.  In reality the Chinese built it just to prove they could.  There is only one in existance, and it has already become the number one target for every anti-chinese terrorist group in the world.

Russias prisoner transport.  Unlike the military version, the domestic version is not as heavily armored and is unarmed.  Both version however have a special tank which fills with a hardening gel to transport Cyborgs and other dangerous criminals.  An oxygen helmet,  is clamped and sealed over the prisoners face, and then the tank fills with the gel, once the tank is full the gel is given a mild electrostatic charge with reacts chemically and solidifies the gel, hardening it and making even the movement inside the tank impossible.  To release the prisoners, the gel merely has to be exposed to open air.  The tank can hold 4 regular sized prisoners.  The tank has a seperate SP of 50, and to open the hatch without authorization requires an electronic security check of rating 30.  Russia has sold a lot of these to China.
