Another form of fuel is gasification of wood, wood by products, agriculture wastes, and so on and so on.

" I'm not altogether sure how armored personnel carriers (MRAPS) can be used for highway maintenance. Perhaps you could explain how the vehicle shown in post #6 could be used for that purpose. "

The back panels cover over the built in donut and coffee cafe for the " 10 standing by work projects state highway workers " and one stop coffee shop for the high way police.

Wait until they find out what a tune-up, engine rebuild or new tranny costs. Those things will become local park monuments, next to the WWII howitzers.

I’m sure law enforcement agencies across the U.S. could put them to use (not that I support that).
