That fathers are often very protective towards their daughters is not news. That someone this in practice by an almost indestructible vehicle around her to build up you see less often. But also not everyone is an inventor and millionaire, such as Bran Ferren.

The 61-year-old Ferren, a carrier of a majestic beard, decided in the autumn of his life a daughter, who is now 4 years old and have the name Kira is wearing. To her wearing Ferren the 23 ton KiraVan, that they a lot of the world can see, but especially not taking a risk. Because other people are very scary, that is a reizigersinstelling where you far.

In the more than 10 meters long and 3 meters high ‘supertruck’ ATV with six (kevlar reinforced) wheels, a small family, 2 weeks in each luxury piece, with an impressive range of 3,600 kilometers. A mountain climbing is not a problem, the thing seems to be slopes of up to 45 degrees. This seems to us to be a little extreme, but Ferren says so, so it is so. With someone with such a beard, you’re not going in discussion.

In addition to 22 regular cameras, the KiraVan, which, on the basis of a Unimog, also infrared and thermal cameras. What is the engine in the vehicle is housed is not known, but that it is a big unit is fixed*. Perhaps it’s time that we have our list of vehicles for the zombie apocalypse to survive but once update….

*Update: the KiraVan is powered by a six cylinder Benz diesel with 260 hp and an unknown number of Newtonmeters.
