A free trip to New Zealand to interview for a job in the tech sector.

But that's what local authorities and businesses in the capital, Wellington, are offering to 100 talented workers from around the globe as they seek to boost the city's growing tech hub.

The idea has caught fire, with 12,000 people completing applications so far and thousands more registering interest ahead of the March 20 deadline.

Wellington is looking to revive the growing tech scene by adding 100 new software developers, creative directors, product managers,analysts and digital strategists.

Technology.....

otomatic:
Can the metal and tyres withstand the heat produced by nuclear energy? Cos methinks apocalypse will come in the form of a nuclear reaction.

It depends on how close the truck to the blast.

Lastpharoah33:
Does it have inbuilt auto mechanic.... Cos even after apocalypse, that vehicle must spoil.... Haba

Or run out of gas sure. But it will still serve a purpose.

Don't get it why they live like this, its like that nation wide.

Give them a new building and it will turn to this in 5yrs.

Give them a new patrol truck, car, Hilux and check it a year later.

Even their guns, uniform and boots.

I dont understand.

Audrinakane:
European weather is harsh and extremely cold , I agree but a lot is checked other than weather before this is released. Cold weather but still progressing rapidly

Winter is not throughout the year in these countries, there's still summer for about 8months or more.

Even though their sun is not as hot as ours.



Pictured, summer landscape from Estonia.

Estonia is one the countries having the coldest winter, one of the coldest places on earth.

eghuan1:
I suspect it will be under the floor, because that will help reduce the center of gravity and help weight distribution

Likely.

sweetboiy:
Where is the water stored?

Trying to get picture of that, but the storage tank will be somewhere on the truck.

femmy2010:
End time truck.

Exactly, end time/Apocalypse truck.

Houseofglam7:
Would be perfect for a road trip....

Exactly for that, with full protection.

Auto Mobil have given users a number of dials and options to control the air conditioning, heating and lighting of the vehicle to make it a comfortable ride for users.

The Two 2,400 Watt air conditioning units within the Globecruiser 7500 keep users cool and dry while they trek through the wilderness.

Each bed includes storage above and beneath the bunks and a reading light. Stairs behind the children's beds (right) lead to a double bed area.

The bathroom of the Globecruiser Family 7500.

The room includes a toilet, sink and heated towel rail.

The motor home's toilet storage can hold up to 150 litres.

The vehicle measures just under 10 metres (33ft) in length, and towers above the floor at a height topping 3.8 metres (12.5ft), more than twice the height of the average man.

It is 2.5 metres (8ft) wide.

The company describe it as the 'perfect' family motor home.

It can sleep two adults and two children.

The small children's bunks are pictured here with the living area down the corridor and bathroom and main entrance doors to the left.

The kitchen area of the motor home, pictured here, has a MIELE electrical oven with integrated micro-wave and induction hob.

These are mounted on top of spacious fridge and freezer systems, and can all be powered by four solar panels found on the vehicle's roof.

The massive motor home boasts six huge off-road wheels, and even has a lift to store a motorbike (pictured) on the back for a quick escape.

The massive vehicle, produced in, Austria, has a 530-horsepower engine and comes with a £630,000 ($765,000) price tag.

The vehicle is described as a 'motor home for global cruises' by Action Mobil, who claim that they designed the vehicle for comfort in the harshest of conditions.

A cosy living area, pictured here, is flanked by a small state-of-the-art kitchen area and has a satellite TV (square section on the back wall)

When preparing for the apocalypse most people opt for an armoured, underground bunker but what if your apocalyptic bunker had a 400-litre diesel engine stuck on the front?

Painted in military green, weighing more than 20 small cars and fitted with six giant off-road wheels, the supersized 'Action Mobil Globecruiser Family 7500' would not look out of place in a war zone.

The massive vehicle was designed by Austrian firm Action Mobil for people driving on long road trips in tough terrains. It has a 530 horsepower engine and comes with a £630,000 ($765,000) price tag.

Each monster camper weighs eight tonnes, around 18,000kg (40,000lbs), and measures just under 10 metres (33ft) long and 3.8 metres (12.5ft) high.

It stores enough fuel to last users days out in the wilderness and can hold 1,000 litres of fresh water on board.

Along 240 Watt solar panels, some might say, it has everything you need to survive an apocalypse.






Its huge 400 litre, 530-horsepower diesel engine and 6x6 chassis mean it is designed to deal with any rough terrain, and holds enough fuel to last several days on the road.

The average human uses around 20 litres of water a day for hydration and sanitation.

The 7500's impressive 1000 litre fresh water capacity means one person could live out of the vehicle for around 50 days.

Four 240 Watt solar panels fixed to the roof of the vehicle means it will power its appliances long after it has run out of fuel.

The state-of-the-art electrical oven, microwave, induction hob and fridge/freezer system allow survivors to cook up a quick meal in no time.

Two 2,400 Watt air conditioning units will keep users cool and dry in the potentially brutal post-apocalyptic heat.

Satellite television will offer much needed escapism from the hopeless post-apocalyptic world.

Other features include:


- Costs £630,000 ($765,000)

- Weighs eight tonnes

- Measures 10 metres (33ft) long, 3.8 metres (12.5ft) high and 2.5 metres (8ft) wide

- Twenty-three square feet of living space including a washer and dryer and a lift at the back to carry a motorbike.

You will be surprised on how one Arabian prince will order for all the products if it finally debut.

Abi, they will order it like bread.

The feasible concept is the result of Italdesign and Airbus' joint reflection on how to address the mobility challenges of megacities achievable for a majority, which has become one of the most pressing issues for commuters in megacities worldwide,' shared Airbus.

'With traffic congestion projected to hugely increase by 2030, the companies decided to combine their engineering expertise to tackle how to best achieve a sustainable, modular and multimodal urban mobility system giving rise to the Pop.Up concept.'

HOW DOES IT WORK?


Passengers summon the two-seater capsule using a designated app.

They log in their destination and the app determines the best mode of transportation either ground, air or both.

Once inside the capsule, the system scans the user's face for security reasons.

The two-seater capsule consist of monocoque carbon-fiber cocoon that measures 8.5 feet (2.6 meters) long, 4.5 feet (1.4 meters) high, and 16 feet (meters) wide.And it is capable of transforming itself into a car by coupling to the ground module, which runs on a battery.

If traffic becomes heavy, simply call a drone to grab your car and it will fly you to your destination.

And ones the passengers have reached their destination, the capsule letsthem exit and autonomously travels back to dedicated recharge stations where it will wait to be summoned by its next customer.

For megacity journeys with high congested traffic, the capsule disconnects from the ground module and is carried by a 5 by 4.4 meter air module propelled by eight counter-rotating rotors,' Airbus explained.

'In this configuration, Pop.Up becomes an urban self-piloted air vehicle, taking advantage of the third dimension to get from A to B efficiently whilst avoiding traffic congestion on the ground.'

Pop.Up is deemed the first modular, fully electric, zero emission concept vehicle system, designed to relieve traffic congestion in crowded megacities Airbus noted that more than 10 million people will be living in megacities in the next 30 years.

Airbus has unveiled a new concept that could put an end to traffic jams.

Called Pop.Up, the modular system consist of a two-seater capsule that functions as a car or can be carried to the rider's destination by a vertical take-off and landing air vehicle when the roads are too congested.

Once passengers reach their destination, both the the air and ground modules will return to dedicated recharge stations, where they will wait to be summoned by the next customers.


Capsule functions as an electric autonomous car that can travel 62 miles (100 kilometers) on one charge.

A London primary school is so crowded it is using an old double-decker bus as a library.

Teachers at Chatsworth Primary School in Hounslow were forced to turn their original library into extra classrooms because of the huge demand for places.

The school was without a library for two years until a former parent who worked for a bus company donated a decommissioned vehicle to the school.

Gibraltar Airport is one of the most extraordinary airports around the world.
