1. Supertruck
超级房车
The KiraVan is a six wheeled all-terrain ‘supertruck’ capable of housing a family of three for a fortnight, travelling 2,000 miles without refuelling and tackling slopes of up to 45 degrees.
这辆房车名叫KiraVan,它是一辆6轮“超级越野卡车”,一次加油量可供一家三口生活两周,行驶2000英里(约3200公里),还能驾驭45度的斜坡。
2. Multifunctional Vehicle

The vehicle’s huge trailer, which is 31 feet long and more than 10 feet high, houses a kitchen, bathroom and ‘penthouse’ suite.
KiraVan的车形长达31英尺(约9.45米),高达10英尺(约3.05米)以上。车内包含一个厨房、一间浴室还有顶层公寓套间。
3. Kitchen
厨房
Fully stocked, the kitchen could provide for a family of three for two to three weeks; if some onboard gear were to be replaced with extra food, they could last as long as six weeks. Packed with a convection oven, microwave oven, induction and infrared cooktops, a fridge, and a freezer, the kitchen has all the basic necessities for a five-star meal.
厨房食物储存丰富,可供三口之家或两口之家吃上三个星期;如果路途中可以增补食物,厨房足可以让一家人两个月不饿肚子。厨房中有风烤箱、微波炉、感应和红外炉灶面、冰箱、冷冻箱等设备,五星级饭店的烹饪设备一应俱全。
4. Dining Room

The KiraVan houses an ecofriendly bathroom, an upscale kitchen, and a luxe dining area. The only thing missing is a built-in coffee machine. A countertop one will have to do.
KiraVan房车有一个绿色环保的浴室、一个顶级厨房,还有一间奢华的餐厅。唯一缺乏的是内置式咖啡机,但台式咖啡机也毫不逊色哦。
5. Office

The super vehicle could also someday help researchers, photographers, and anyone else who needs to travel to the most unreachable places on earth for long stretches of time.
这辆超级房车适用性也极其广泛,探险家、摄影师、以及任何工作需要长时间深入地球上最难到达地区的人,都可以很好地利用它。
6. Travel with Daughter
和女儿一起周游世界
The inventor hopes to take Kira to visit the Mojave Desert, Canada and Europe. He’s looking forward to spending time with his daughter, and he said: ‘‘I hope she likes this truck.”
