by Tim Wing
In the years following the First Robotech War, French automobile manufacturer saw a market for a cheap and cheerful commercial vehicle for use in the cities and towns of the rebuilding planet. The Runabout Classic was a three-wheel commercial delivery vehicle. They were sized to qualify for Kei-Car registration class in Japan. Both gasoline and electric versions were available. The styling was meant to ape the old 2CV based AK 400 Fourgonette, exploiting humanity’s nostalgia for the pre-war era. The Runaround was a runaway success. The vehicle was in production from 2013 straight through till the Invid Invasion in 2033. It was sold in all markets, with manufacturing in France, Japan in the East Asia Quadrant, and Brazil. Due to their simplicity, reliability and ease of maintenance, the Runabout Classic continued to chug along through the occupation.
