儘管電車有種種優點，但在荒山野嶺生存能力卻不比油車優勝。坦克500混能H4-T抑或是純汽油版本均離不開引擎，因而亦賦予他們「人在野」的能力，成為中移動的應急通訊車，實在不足為奇。

應急通訊車旨在滿足災害救援、應急指揮等場景的通訊需求。車輛搭載3公升V6雙渦輪增壓引擎，輸出360匹馬力及500Nm扭力，非承載式車身亦讓它有出色的越野能力。應急通訊車最大特色是配備了衛星通訊天線及流動發射站，能夠在極端環境下實現遠程通訊。內部裝有專業的通訊設備和工作台，可作為移動指揮中心使用。此外，車輛還配備了增程系統，可提供長達72小時的持續供電。

以往Tomica曾推出Tomica shop限定消防無線電廣播車，車頂同樣搭載碟形天線。由於TANK500車型多次推出，此處不再贅述。這次Xcartoys除碟形天線外,車尾更加入可升降的移動發射站，而且有高低兩個版本可供更換。不過手殘的我再次在更換時弄斷電線桿，結果得物無所用，因此建議大家更換時一直要小心小心再小心，不然如我般手殘就恨錯難返。

Emergency Response – Xcartoys TANK500 Emergency Communications Vehicle for China Mobile

While electric vehicles have numerous advantages, their survival capabilities in rugged terrains are not superior to those of traditional fuel-powered vehicles. The TANK500, whether in its hybrid H4-T or pure gasoline version, relies on an engine, granting it remarkable off-road capabilities. It’s no surprise, then, that China Mobile has chosen it as their emergency communications vehicle.

These emergency communications vehicles are designed to meet the communication needs in disaster relief and emergency command scenarios. The vehicle is equipped with a 3.0-liter V6 twin-turbo engine, producing 360 horsepower and 500 Nm of torque. Its body-on-frame structure further enhances its off-road performance. The standout feature of this emergency vehicle is its satellite communication antenna and mobile transmission station, enabling remote communication in extreme environments. The interior is fitted with professional communication equipment and workstations, allowing it to function as a mobile command center. Additionally, the vehicle is equipped with a range extender system, providing up to 72 hours of continuous power supply.

In the past, Tomica released a limited edition fire department radio broadcast vehicle through their Tomica shop, which also featured a dish antenna on the roof. As the TANK500 model has been released multiple times, we won’t delve into its details here. This time, Xcartoys has not only included the dish antenna but also added a retractable mobile transmission station at the rear, available in both high and low versions for customization.

A word of caution from personal experience: as someone with less-than-steady hands, I accidentally broke the antenna pole while attempting to swap versions. This rendered the feature unusable, so I strongly advise extreme care when making such adjustments. Those who, like me, are prone to clumsiness might find themselves regretting any hasty moves.

This Xcartoys model of the TANK500 Emergency Communications Vehicle offers an intriguing glimpse into the world of disaster response and mobile communication technology, making it a unique addition to any collection of model vehicles or emergency response enthusiasts.
