The SimbaCo Consolidated Interservice Vehicle System is a family of logistics and support - as well as tactical - vehicles designed for both military and civilian industrial use. While it covers a vast range of vehicles, ranging from the 500kg Ultralight variant, which is light enough to be entirely carried by a team, to the Extremely Heavy variant clocking in at over 25 tonnes, all vehicles in the family share many minor or major components, as well as - more importantly - having a unified control system, so as to minimize time required for cross-training from one platform to the next.
