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.
History
Lots of R&D and then a bit of testing before adoption and wanton modification to suit needs

ULSV Variants
There are 4 primary variants of the ULSV, although most users modify them extensively to suit their needs.
- Cargo - Baseline variant with an open back intended for transportation of up to 350kg of gear;
- Gun Carrier, HMG - A support variant with mounting brackets for a heavy machine gun to be fixed and, in emergencies, fired;
- Gun Carrier, TOW - A support variant with mounting brackets for a TOW missile to be fixed and fired, plus racks for 4 missiles;
- Radio carrier - A support variant with a beefed-up alternator and additional batteries and mountings for 4 Apollo-series radios, and racks for two antenna masts (although racks are usually doubled up for 4 masts).
Additional variants have been explored.
- Gun Carrier, MTR - A support variant with a rack for a mortar tube, as well as a bin for rounds;
- Electrical Variant - An experimental chassis revamp, designed with the goal of replacing the entire power train with electric motors, expected to reach prototype stage by early 2021.

LSV Variants
There are currently five main variants of the LSV, although like the rest of the CIVS series, many vehicles see extensive modification by their end user.
- Cargo - Standard variant with a box bed with optional ribs and tarp, plus full cab;
- Ambulance - A support variant with an integrated box which includes numerous internal bins and mountings for 4 internal stretchers to be securely mounted, with 3 additional emergency mounting points, all accessible from internal without leaving the vehicle;
- Patrol Vehicle - A direct-action or escort variant fitted with mountings for a heavy machine gun equivalent on a crew-cab body;
- Radio Van - A support variant with a separated body and 5kW generator, and internal racks for 8 Apollo-series masts and radios;
- Mobile Repair Team (MRT) - A support variant similar to the Radio Van, except with numerous external drawers and no additional radios or antenna mounts from the standard Full Cab, but with mounts for various chemicals, POL, and welding equipment.
Many experimental or limited variants have been considered or are under development.
