Kira

A Kira Tanker, Kira Box, and Kira Flatbed.

The SCM **Kira** is a platform of medium-duty commercial vehicles featured in *Motor Town: Behind the Wheel*. Its portrayal as a commonplace and versatile work vehicle mirrors that of its real-life equivalent's success across Europe throughout the latter part of the 20th century.

The Kira has 5 variants used for different purposes regarding delivery work.

## Design

The Kira is a European COE commercial vehicle designed after the Italian Iveco Zeta truck, more specifically its IVECO-Fiat badge equivalent circa 1983, as per its grille and headlight design in the game.

All variants occupy up to 3 passengers in the cab, including the driver.

## Kira Box

### Box

The **Kira Box** is a commercial box van useful for transporting small amounts of large cargo. Its load space is smaller compared to the Tronko. The box is able to hold two smaller pallets and two Airline Meal Pallets, but it is not big enough to hold Box Pallete A or Planks. A trailer hitch can be installed to pull small trailers. Despite having a tall box, it is quite stable and does not easily roll over.

This is the only Kira variant that cannot fit inside the regular tuning shops, because it has a tall box.

## Kira Flatbed

### Comfort

★★

The **Kira Flatbed** is a commercial flatbed truck useful for transporting small amounts of large cargo. Its load space is smaller compared to the Maity. The bed is able to carry two smaller pallets and two Airline Meal Pallets, but it is not big enough to carry Box Pallete A or Planks. A trailer hitch can be installed to pull small trailers.

Being a flatbed, it is easy to overload this truck by throwing more cargo onto the bed and strapping them.

## Kira Rollback Tow

### Profit Share

54%

The **Kira Rollback Tow** is a flatbed tow truck used for towing and recovering immobilized vehicles; an alternative to the Pulio which uses a tow hook. Because of its design, it is a superior choice between the two tow truck models for transporting vehicles with a lower ground clearance to avoid continuously scraping the bottom, incurring a damage penalty (however on Pulio you can just have the tow hook adjusted low).

Be careful when driving this truck while it is loaded, because it can easily roll over. This is because the center of gravity is higher when carrying a vehicle and because the bed is also somewhat flimsy. Spacing the wheels, stiffening the suspension, lowering the ride height, and adding Anti-Roll Bars will help mitigate this issue, but you still need to be careful.

It is equipped with an amber emergency light bar with sirens (standard for South Korean recovery vehicle spec) but it produces no sound.

This is the only Kira variant that cannot have a trailer hitch installed.

## Kira Tanker

### Comfort

★★

The **Kira Tanker** is a tank truck used for transporting liquids. By itself, it has a maximum payload of 5 tons. A trailer hitch can be installed which lets you hook on to small trailers. The Kira Tanker is often paired with the small 5-ton tanker trailer so players can carry 10 tons of liquids in total.

Because liquid cargo is very heavy (1,000kg per unit of liquid. Kira Tanker can haul 10 units of liquids with a tanker trailer), it is recommended to stiffen the suspension, install the Medium-Duty 330HP engine, and install a turbocharger. You can also increase the final drive ratio to increase torque at the cost of top speed and fuel efficiency. Some players will even install a 13-speed transmission intended for heavy-duty trucks because the liquids are so heavy.

The Kira Tanker is also a bit unstable when loaded, so be careful when driving it. Some players will space the wheels and lower the ride height to make the truck a bit more stable.

Fuel Efficiency when loaded with 5T is measured at 0.41 km/L, and can complete a 24km Fuel transportation route From Jeju Harbor to Oji Drilling in ~30 Minutes, stock configuration without a trailer in tow. With it's 200L fuel tank, it has a very impressive effective hauling range of 85km.

## Kira Van

### Comfort

★★

The **Kira Van** is a large delivery van used for medium volume cargo transport. It is the larger equivalent to the Vani and Boxy, having more carrying capacity, especially so when fitted with a roof rack from a Tuning Shop. A trailer hitch can also be installed to pull small trailers.

The cargo space within the van is big enough to carry two small pallets. But with a roof rack and trailer hitch, the Kira Van can haul 5 small pallets in total (but Box Pallete C cannot fit on the roof rack so you can carry only three of them), which is more than what the Kira Box and Kira Flatbed can haul. The Kira Van is not big enough to carry Box Pallete A or Planks.

However, one of the Kira Van's drawbacks is that it has a small fuel tank (70L) so you may need to refuel more often. To burn less fuel, one can choose not to upgrade to a stronger engine since the Medium-Duty 190HP is the most fuel efficient (but also weakest) engine that Kira Van can accept.

This is the only Kira variant that does not have utility slots.

## Locations

* The Kira Van is for sale/rent at the Car Dealer in Gang-Jung.
* The Kira Box, Kira Flatbed, Kira Rollback Tow, and Kira Tanker are for sale/rent at the heavy-duty Car Dealer in Gu-Jwa.

## Notes

* The Kira Van's driver's side front tire's collision physics suffer a minor glitch to where it would constantly vibrate when the vehicle is at halt, causing the tire premature wear. The player would also feel slight vibration often when using a controller with vibration feedback.
