The Union Motors 2145 Washington was among the first vehicles to be mass-produced in the Union after manufacturing resumed on an industrial scale during the economic surge of the 2140s. It quickly gained popularity in both the rural areas of the Union and various construction sectors within the NEU. Its off-road capabilities and capacity to transport up to 600 pounds of farming equipment or construction materials, combined with its relatively low price, made it particularly appealing in predominantly rural regions. While personal vehicle ownership remains uncommon in urban areas, the 2145 has largely been supplanted by newer, higher-quality trucks. Its influence extends beyond the NEU, as many similar designs have emerged throughout the wasteland, indicating that the blueprints for this truck line are part of a collection of pre-flash designs. The trucks stored in the Lakeside Division have been well-used and show signs of wear from years of service in both the North and Great Lakes regions.
In the past few months of 2165, an inspection ordered by the Department of Commerce and Labor resulted in an audit of Union Motors. The audit uncovered that the designs for these trucks were sourced from the Eastern Union after the flash. This discovery explains how comparable models ended up in the hands of Marx and other wasteland factions, even though the NEU had never supplied them with the blueprints.

The Homesteader line was quickly established by the Eastern Union Contingency Government after the official disintegration of the United States, this truck line aimed to address the severe nationwide supply crisis and to explore the potential for arable land in the western territories, although many expeditions ultimately failed or did not return. The Homesteader truck model predates the formation of the Northeastern Union, yet most of its manufacturing facilities were located within the Northeastern Bufferzone at the time the Unions emerged from the fragmentation of the Eastern Union. Consequently, both the Northeastern Union and the Southern Union inherited substantial stockpiles of this legacy truck line. A small machining company founded to service the Northeastern Union's fleet of Homesteaders in a small rural town in New York eventually evolved into what is now known as Union Motors. The company continues to operate from a medium-sized city that has developed around its primary production facilities, which were established there. In 2107, the Triumvirate granted Union Motors ownership of the Homesteader production facilities. The Homesteader line is a familiar sight in various aspects of life in the Northeastern Union, serving as mobile shops, troop transports, cargo delivery vehicles, and mobile shelters for Frontiersmen settling the expansive territories around the Union. This truck line has been integral to the Lakeside Division since its inception. While it has largely been phased out over time, many veteran officers within the division resist this change due to its practicality and the challenges associated with transporting new vehicles from the Mainland to more remote bases.
In a recent discovery, it was revealed that most of the Lakeside Divison's Homesteader models were sourced from the Southern Union, during a period marked by the South's provision of aid to the NEU following the devastating thirty years war. Nevertheless, the public liaison for the Lakeside Division stated that the division was not particularly concerned about this revelation.

In 2155, Union Motors introduced a new line of vehicles, including the Deputy buggy. This model was a reverse-engineered buggy created by a notorious bandit group that once roamed the I-95 highway until the Northeastern Union eliminated them within its territory in 2089. Initially thought to be a pre-war dune buggy, the design was rediscovered by Union Motors' record-keeping team in 2155, leading to its production as a premium off-roading vehicle. It occupies a unique segment of the NEU automotive market, appealing to those seeking a straightforward off-roading option capable of handling the most challenging terrains. However, its high price and subpar performance compared to other Union Motors vehicles have resulted in it being largely relegated to back lots or used by the Lakeside Division. While Union Motors asserts that all vehicles supplied to the Lakeside Division are from their production, many personnel within the division suspect that a significant number of these vehicles may actually originate from wasteland sources.

The M2155 Desperado is a line of refurbished buggies that were captured throughout operations in the wasteland over the years by members of the Northeastern Armed Forces. These buggies have been up-armored and equipped with a light machine gun pintle-mounted atop the vehicle, though this was not sufficient enough to save the previous bandit occupants who used to drive them prior to their capture by NEU forces. The Lakeside Division has been supplied with these captured vehicles due to ongoing logistical issues in supplying proper military vehicles to the Northeastern Armed Forces, in particular the Lakeside Division.

The Spark Dynamics All-Terrain Vehicle (ATV) was developed after the previous Spark Motorbike had numerous reports of failure during the start of the Canadian War. These reports were stacked onto already existing complaints, listing from the bike's inability to seat more than 1 soldier, problems sourcing fuel, and its inability to be effective in "mountainous terrain". With these complaints in mind the creative minds at Spark Dynamics went back to a timeless design, the ATV. The ATV-2 is an electric vehicle with a battery that can last at least 2 patrols before needing a recharge. It can also sit 2 people instead of one and does much better in mountainous and snowy terrain, with the max speed of 70 Mph the ATV can make quick work of steep slopes. Like its predecessor, the ATV also has composite tires similar to Kevlar.

The Spark Reconnaissance Motorcycle (Spark Motorbike for short) is a vehicle designed by Spark Dynamics for USRF usage. The motorbike was developed for usage in theaters of war, patrols, and obviously, as the name implies reconnaissance in foreign territory. This motorbike has a long history in the USRF, being developed shortly after the First Union war with the intent of being used in wasteland and off-road terrain.
The vehicle's engine is quite dated, running on biofuel and the less preferable, gasoline. Capping off the 4-gallon tank, this vehicle can last 4 patrols before being entirely empty and needing to be refueled. The wheels of the vehicle are quite unique, being made of a composite similar to Kevlar to prevent the tires from getting slashes or popping from broken glass or other wasteland obstacles.

Hailing its original design from muscle cars of the 1970s, the Dominator was Roadmaster’s answer to many pre-flash enthusiasts’ desire for vintage muscle cars. Affordable, stylish, and in no way lackluster in performance or safety, the Dominator’s popularity spread like wildfire across the United States. Aftermarket modifications became widespread, and many enthusiasts with the mechanical know-how took it upon themselves to further modify the chassis and engine as they pleased. In the years post-flash, the large quantity of Dominators found within American garages made it easy to cannibalize components in order to recreate a functioning vehicle. By the 2140s, the Dominator gained infamy across settlements along interstates I-80, I-90, and I-95 as convoy raiders often conducted hit-and-run convoy attacks in heavily modified Dominators, often featuring makeshift scrap armor and improvised ECM suites to drown out distress signals.
Within the USRF, Dominators captured from raider groups were often repurposed into patrol vehicles and transport for high-ranking officers, with Union Motors later securing a contract to provide basic replacement parts at a premium. Despite many Dominators featuring modernized biofuel engines, the USRF has opted to limit the vehicle’s use in recent days due to Crisis Corp’s increasing demand and the expensive upkeep costs.

The Clydesdale was originally bred in the pre-flash territory of Northern England and Scotland, taking its name from Scotland's Clydesdale district. Clydesdales have seen combat since the First World War, and continues to be a valued breed within the USRF's ranks. The horse's strength and size made it fitting for logistics and troop transport alike, with many regular and underfunded units stationed in forested terrains opting for the Clydesdale in place of more costly conventional fusion or biofuel-engined vehicles. Owing to their size and docile nature, many Clydesdales are also used for ceremonial purposes within the CSB and USRF's Douglass Division. HASHIREEE HASHIREEE UMAMUSUMEE

New Boston Whaler, using pre-war designs as inspiration, unveiled a brand-new line of Poseidon speedboats as part of their efforts to capture a dominant share of the NEU’s civilian boat market. Mainly used by fishermen and others, it quickly found its way to being sold beyond the NEU’s borders and across the wider wasteland. However, many speculate that many of the Poseidon speedboats actually were not produced in New Boston or originated from New Boston at all but instead form across the wasteland in dozens of boat manufactories either within larger-scale settlements or operated by well-off groups of merchants. The Black Navy mainly uses Poseidon speedboats supplied by the New Boston Whaler nautical manufacturing company, though some doubt all of them actually originate from the company’s official factories, due to inconsistent quality control across the various boats.
