Transport 2 was a specialist cargo mover, of a type used by some mining operations on Hibernia. It carried single, short standard container of high-value goods. In the case of mines, this was often explosives, denoted by an orange hazard label.
The concept for the vehicle was based on 4x4s used in Iceland. These had oversized, low-pressure tyres that helped them to gain traction on snow, tundra and bogs.
For driving in poor weather, the vehicles were equipped with stereoscopic radar on the right and an image intensifier turret on the left. Satellite tracking was also fitted. This was partly in case of a mechanical breakdown in the wilderness but mainly to keep track of the goods. The vehicles were painted yellow, like many mine & quarry machines, with visual recognition patterns, such as stripes or chequers, that could easily be seen in blizzards.

Campus at Biosphere 2, near Tucson, Arizona. Biosphere 2 was opened in 1991 to a crew of 8, who spent two years in the completely enclosed environment, who tested our ability to create closed ecosystems that could sustain humans. It was meant to recreate what would be possible on a space colony. They grew there own food, made there own oxygen and water, and had a food system 5x more productive than equivalent space in open space. On the other hand, they broke into two factions that disliked one another, and the closed systems took an enormous amount of external energy to keep them going, as there was no solar energy used. Today it serves as an experimental facility for the University of Arizona.
