still maintains the use of its rear doors, despite being fastened to nothing more than half a B-pillar. We’d imagine this vehicle wouldn’t perform very well in side-impact crash tests, nor would it have the best structural rigidity, but those are likely of little concern given its use case.

The duties of the truck, according to the Massai Wilderness Conservation Trust, include “quiet anti-poaching patrols, zero tailpipe-emissions transport for Maasai firefighters and critical on-and off-road rangers’ operations, to health and education programs.” But before people start complaining that electric vehicles aren’t truly zero-emissions because of the fossil fuels involved in their manufacturing and charging, two things are worth considering. For one, the goal of this truck is simply to not pollute the air in the immediate area it’s being used, which is accomplished regardless of any upstream emissions. For another, the electricity powering it is coming from solar power, which nullifies the arguments of naysayers two-fold.
