Excavator chassis on semi axles. Interesting powertrain

First starting with Toyota Will Vi, a JDM fever dream that combines Citroen 2CV front and Ford Anglia rear.

Continuing with the theme of japanese imposters, there's the Subaru Samba, quite self explanatory this one.

Third we have the Nissan S-Cargo. There's clearly a continuing theme here. Based on K10 Micra/March, part of pike-cars and sporting lovely wheels.

Then the weirdest one imo, Morgan Aero 8. I can't believe there's one registered here.

quite funny that 119 is also the chinese firefighting phone number

Some pics of it in actual service in 2020s https://m.weibo.cn/detail/4485743722798832

apparently there are also firefighting mortars and rocket launchers; the idea is that the rounds have fire suppresion powder in them to help suppress the fire from a distance.

(From weibo, i've seen it being used by mobile fire and rescue(formerly forest fire departments), local specialized forest fire units, and what appears to be militia.)

These were used to move passengers from the terminal to their planes. Abandoned when the airport close to passenger travels in the early 2000s. They would pick the passenger at the terminal and connect to the planes door just like a regular corridor gate does. Called "transbordeur" in french, you can still see some in action sometime in other airports, but they are rarer and rarer
