A Bad-Ass Off-Road 4x4 School Bus
The Torsus Praetorian will get your kids to school, come hell or high water
As we learned last year, kids in Oulu, Finland ride their bicycles to school through snow, in negative-22 degrees Fahrenheit weather.
Around the world there are schoolchildren who live in remote areas and may not have the bicycles to get them there. Turns out there's a vehicle for this application: The Praetorian off-road school bus, made by Czech-Republic-based Torsus.
The 4x4 Praetorian can carry 36 passengers, handle gnarly angles, clear obstacles 13.4 inches in height and wade through nearly three feet of water. With an off-road suspension and a diesel engine producing 290 horsepower and an absurd 848 lb-ft of torque, this thing will get the kids to school no matter how bad the roads are.
You might be wondering: What makes the Praetorian a school bus? The truth is, just the paint job, and the lack of the water cannon mounted to Torsus' Anti-Riot Praetorian.
The off-road bus was actually designed for multiple applications, of which the school bus is just one. Check out the Praetorian's range of liveries:

Nigel Expedition thinks this a smashing idea.
Well,... I'm just glad we can still bring children to school even if there is a fricking Zombie apocolypse going on :) I love this :D
Sure, it is also great in bad weather :)
