After an International Electric Corporation exec saw a home-built ACPA rickshaw in operation, he submitted a proposal to manufacture and market a better 'official' ACPA rickshaw, or as he put it in his presentation "an All Terrain Personal Armour Transport".
IEC took their 'Hero' class ACPA frame and covered it with a shell of Militech's P-Steel composite model 1, to get something that looked similar to the Militech & Trauma Team 'Lifeline' ACPA. IEC then added powered skates (117km/h), to save on pilot fatigue, climber claws and winch, so that the ATPAT can go over major obstacles (including buildings), and some defensive systems, including an EMP sponge, and smoke canisters. Okay at 55,000eb it's more expensive than a cab, but it's passenger is twice as well protected and it's still better value for money than an AV. Of course most ATPATs in service have had anti-personnel and even anti-vehicle weapon systems added.
Since it's release in 2021 it has
rapidly been gaining popularity with those taxi and courier firms
that have to operate in one of the many combat zones around the
world. IEC have also made the wise move of donating a number of
suits to DMS, for their next series of Combat Cab™.
