“A steel-framed fortress of technology — built not for transport, but for precision.”

The Story · Ex-CARB

A government laboratory, ready for its second life

  1. Custom-built for CARB

    Ordered new by the State of California as a mobile emissions-testing laboratory.

  2. Decommissioned

    Retired from government service with infrastructure and instrumentation intact.

  3. Acquired & serviced

    ~$30,000 in recent suspension, tire, and maintenance work. Drives exceptionally smoothly.

Heavy-Duty Commercial Platform

Exterior — driver side

Why This Platform

Not simply a used bus

A commercial chassis, serious power, a working laboratory, and a conversion-ready shell — assets that almost never converge in one vehicle.

  • Prevost commercial chassis
  • Low relative mileage
  • CARB provenance
  • Dual 20kW generators
  • Commercial electrical
  • HVAC + ventilation
  • Plumbing + gas lines
  • Cabinetry + benches
  • Recent investment
  • Excellent drivetrain
  • Instruments est. $300,000–$400,000
  • Conversion-ready

Chassis, power, HVAC, ventilation, plumbing, and cabinetry are already engineered and installed — the most expensive part of any specialty build. Potentially significant time and cost saved; potential advantages, not guaranteed savings.

Dual 20kW Onboard Power

Dual generators — engine bay

Power & Infrastructure

Forty kilowatts. On board.

Two Martin 20kW commercial generators run a working laboratory, medical suite, or production facility with no shore power.

Independent electrical capacity of this scale is the most expensive part of any specialty-vehicle build. Here, it is already installed and in service.
