"Shepherd" Hybrid Rescue Vehicle

The Shepherd is a top-of-the line multipurpose utility vehicle, with a unique SYNDRV hybrid powertrain. This vehicle is the only one of it's kind, featuring a blistering >2.7 second 0-60 time, and reaching speeds of over 160 km/h. The vehicle is also incredibly efficient, sporting over 450km of range on it's single 1000L fuel tank.

Shepherd is built for off-road. With a designated Off-road governor, crawler gear, custom tuned suspension, and skidplates, it can take the outdoors head-on.

• Advanced, custom-made SYNDRV (Synergy Drive) Powertrain.
  
• Damage mitigating Skidplates, bumpers, and roof rack
  
• SD-C Compact VHF Radio
  
• 9-speed automatic gearbox
  
• Off-road suspension
  
• Sequenced Emergency Lighting

The entire purpose of this vehicle was to create something simple, enjoyable, and different, which is why a Hybrid drivetrain was chosen. It proved to be difficult, but extremely rewarding.

I'd like to thank Sheepdog for his awesome help with emergency lighting, and graphics for the workshop page, as well as Uran_Wind, for creating his "ZE Car Controller", even though I ended up gutting it almost completely for the Hybrid system. I'd also like to give a massive thanks to mistercynical, for his help troubleshooting the oversteer.
