Armor values:  for the hull:  front, 46 points; sides, 37 points; rear, 26 points; deck, 25 points; floor, 19 points. For the turret:  front, 56 points; sides, 37 points; rear, 31 points; roof, 23 points.

 

Foundation Humvee

 

4x4 wheeled tactical car; crew is a driver, the gunner and up to 2 passengers. Most are conversions from M998/M1038 cargo/troop carriers, M1043/M1044 armament carriers, and some M997 four-litter ambulances. Initially the engines were 8 cylinder diesels of about 190 HP, fuel usage 25 liters per 100 kilometers; now they are powered by a gas generator, and produce about 160 HP. They have to stop at least every 80 kilometers to refill the gas generator with charcoal, and have a range of 400 kilometers. Top speed 89 kph originally, now about 65 kph. Empty weight was about 2400 kg originally; payload was 1135 kg. The gas generator reduces the payload by 400 kilograms, and about 200 kilograms of charcoal are carried (five loads of fuel), leaving 535 kg of payload. An M2HB machinegun with 3 belts of ammunition and a pintle mount weighs about 100 kg, leaving about enough weight for four men and some supplies. There is a military towing pintle on the rear; towing capacity is about 1500 kg.

   

Foundation 2.5 Ton Truck

6x6 wheeled military cargo truck, usually the M35. Crew is driver, gunner and (if you squeeze) one other passenger in the cab; the bench seats on either side of the cargo bed can seat a dozen troops. Weight 6000 kg, plus at least 2300 kg payload off-road or 4500 kg payload on highways; towed load off-road can be 3000 kg. The engine originally was a turbocharged multi-fuel straight-six; currently they use a variety of engines, all fueled by a gas generator. Top speed was 90 kph originally, now about 65 kph. The gas generator reduces the payload by 400 kilograms, and at least 200 kilograms of charcoal are carried (five loads of fuel). All of the Foundation's trucks have a support weapon (usually an M2HB machine gun) on a ring mount above the cab. There is a military towing pintle on the rear.

    • Other variants include the M36 (long cargo bed), C model (drop-side cargo bed), M50 water tanker (with 1000 gallon tank), M109 shop van, the M60 wrecker, and the M59 dump truck.   

 

Foundation Volkswagen

 

 

2x4 wheeled personnel carrier. Driver + 2-3 passengers. Engine is a flat-four 55 HP 1.5 liter gasogen engine. 4 meters long, 1.5 m wide, 900 kg.
