Chinese police buy 100 anti-terror trucks
BEIJING, Dec. 2 (UPI) -- China's police are being equipped with a fleet of massive new anti-terror trucks.
The first anti-terror trucks, equipped with state-of-the-art bullet-proof steel planks and weaponry, will be delivered to police in Beijing, Guangzhou, and Shandong Province within a year. The police have ordered 100 of the domestically-built vehicles, costing $74,000 to $86,000 each.
The vehicles made their debut last week in the coastal city of Qingdao, East China's Shandong Province. The city bought three such vehicles for its police, the official China Daily reported Friday.
The vehicle has a storage tank for food and drink, and can sustain 80 people living and working in it for six days. It also has a conference room for 10, and can automatically lift two 22-feet-long steel planks on both sides of its bodywork, offering easy exit and entry.
The truck was designed and produced by Chongqing Isuzu Motors Co in Southwest China, Qingdao Subsidiary of Chongqing Isuzu Motors and the Qingdao police authority.
