DESCRIPTION
The Alvis Stalwart Mk.2 6x6 High Mobility Load Carrier(HMLC) was designed to carry up to 5t of cargo across off-road and even difficult terrain. It is amphibious and is propelled and steered in water by two vectored thrust water-jets. On land the two front steered axles help to keep the mobility high and the turn radius small for vehicle this size. A driver and up to two passengers find a simple seat in the cabin at the front, though all have to enter via the two hatches on the roof, as the cabin does not feature any doors. The rear wall of the cargo area can be lowered for easier loading/unloading. It has rubber seals that prevent water from entering. A basic radio is installed for short range communication.

#1 The design rules would allow for Very Slow(Idle) but in order to fit the original it was reduced to Idle(Idle).
