The Japanese do not appear to have developed any number of passenger vehicles comparable to our quarter-ton trucks or command cars. Instead, standard commercial passenger vehicles are used. Sole exception encountered to date is the Model 95 (1935) reconnaissance and command car.
The Model 95 (fig. 8) reconnaissance car was developed in the years following the Manchurian Incident, when the need for an all-purpose reconnaissance vehicle became pressing. The air-cooled engine offers many advantages in operations in Manchuria and North China, where low temperatures are often experienced. Initial difficulties with four-wheel drive, and particularly with front universal joints, are believed to have been overcome. Special tires with heavy rubber lugs are provided for exceptionally difficult terrain. The vehicle is not armed.
Accommodations are provided for two persons in front and one in the rear. The driver sits on the right. Selective two- or four-wheel drive is fitted. Hoods on the headlights are provided for dimout or blackout driving. The battery compartment is to the left of the rear seat, the tool box on the right.
The engine is a 4-cycle, 45° V–2 type, 33-horsepower, with magneto-type ignition. The air-cooled gasoline-type engine is suspended from an inverted U-frame mounted at the front of the main frame and suspended in the rear by two trunnions mounted in the saddle at the transmission. An electric starter is provided, but the engine may also be cranked. Weight is 2,420 pounds, maximum speed 43 miles per hour. Fuel capacity is 12.9 gallons, with fuel consumption 31 miles per gallon. Transmission is the selective type, with three forward speeds and one reverse.
