The Evans Bronco Truck is a reliable transport vehicle used by the Company of Liberty in many uses, these popular trucks are currently being used as a POW Transport (see POW Transport for more info), being used by interrogators to attain valuable information on enemy forces, radar capabilities if no Radar Center was present and spotting aircraft at night, a final variant which was available for the Allied Nations including its peacekeeper faction was a large evacuation transport which is capable of serving in the evacuation of cities, towns & villages which is being ravaged by war & terror.
Many enemies consider the Bronco to be a vital target to mess up the Company of Liberty's objectives and also attempting to halt the transporting of valuable goods and small vehicles around when no helicopter is able to assist; The Bronco is also capable of transporting valuable goods and sometimes vehicles from the battlefield or around the world, since they are cheap to run on the battlefield, they are constantly used wisely.
Prison/Evacuation Transport
While on the move, the Company uses these trucks to transport the prisoners to Company of Liberty Detention Facilities where they are held and interrogated for informations relating to the faction they are fighting against, however the Bronco also serves as an evacuation transport to evacuate civilians from territories while fights are on between Company of Liberty forces and any rival faction who is against them during the process.
The transports do a well good job in evacuation of civilians, transporting detained prisoners and also taking their men around the battlefield to jump into a battle with terrorists after their hard days of training.
Heavy Cargo Transporting

"The Bronco is one of our company's best selling vehicles around the world, it was a success back in the early 1960's, there are more variants to choose from."
- Evans Heavy Vehicle dealership owner -
Evans Heavy Vehicles Corporation received a request from the Company of Liberty to build a Flatbed variant of its popular well-known civilian heavy transporter truck known as the Bronco Heavy Transporter. The truck has a powerful diesel engine which can do a good job in transporting heavy loads since they are required to do the job in transporting some heavy cargo such as vehicles and valuable supplies the army can use for its military infrastructure.
The Corporation gladly accepted their request and produced a massive number of 3000 Flatbed Bronco Trucks and immediately sent them to frontlines in Kazakhstan during the current conflict for the Company to utilise on the battlefield; heavy vehicles such as this are rarely seen on the battlefield, but mainly transporting heavy loads such as vehicles and valuable supplies to help fund the war effort for the Company of Liberty itself.
Supply Transportation
Bronco carrying important supplies
Not many Broncos are seen on the battlefield transporting urgent supplies of vehicles or valuable materials. Therefore Evans Military Tank and Vehicle Inc. sub-divisions Evans Heavy Vehicle Corporation produced not just a Prisoner Transport but a Flatbed of its Bronco production line, the Flatbed version used by the Company of Liberty currently has roles in transporting valuable materials to company bases of the world.
They also take role as a transporter for a prototype buggy vehicle which is currently in active production. If the Global Liberation Resistance or the Forth Reich of Yuri stolen any of these vehicles they can use the materials to fund their war effort or use the buggy like vehicles for examination and to see what they can use the vehicle for.
Prototype Transportation
Nitrogen Scout
People believe that the vehicle on the flatbed of most Evans Bronco Transporters currently carry a black buggy like vehicle built by Mustang Off-Road Vehicles known as the Mustang Nitrogen Turbo, almost the same vehicle used by the Global Liberation Army as the Ratfink Rocket Buggy and the Bandit Buggy.
Mustang Off-Road Vehicles offered the Company of Liberty the Nitrogen 2.9i Turbo to utilise for scouting missions and to help out and take role of being part of the Second Eurasian Conflict and helping the Eurasian Commonwealth Security Network re-secure control of the continent thanks to the assistance of the Chinese and American Task Forces after they were stationed in 2029.
The European Off-Road vehicle manufacturer gave the Company of Liberty the Nitrogen 2.9i' to utilise for their war effort, mostly seen with a set of rocket launchers installed on its back.
Sky Spotters
A Sky Spotter version of the Company Bronco
Some of the Company operated Broncos have been modified to pack a spotlight to locate enemy aircraft but only have been used at night, these versions were also used by the USA's night forces to stop enemy aircraft from breaching bases.
These are known to be the Sky Spotter, a special package that have been included in some for the defense of research and development facilities across the world to locate enemy any airborne threats including helicopters which can be helpful for the anti-air vehicles within the facilities.
Destruction of Sky Spotters have increased at some point between 2028 and still going on at present times during its service, however countermeasures to prevent further attacks on the vehicles are currently being placed at the moment
Mobile Command Posts
A Command Post version of the Bronco
Reserved for elite commanders on the battlefield, equipped with a series of antanae with a stealth detection system with a small cabin operated by 2 specialists that can locate enemy forces, not built at any facilities in Company bases what so ever these mobile posts can be an often target by terrorist forces.
They are most common within parts of Russia/New Russia and even in the Middle East since they can provide useful lookouts for commanders out on the frontlines, however they must be protected by all means and the best capabilities would be useful for ground defense.
All-thou these are often used by specialist forces within the faction several of these vehicles are vunerable, they are not fast escape wise since they are still based on a truck like chassis, these Bronco trucks are still good for providing radar if a Command Quarters is destroyed at any point by enemy forces of any kind, the truck can come to the rescue for providing radar for commanders if needed at any point if its a priority, today like GLRF operated Locator Radar Vans thay can be useful for various situations out on the battlefield since Command Centers are not required for most factions, one downside is that they cannot utilise generals powers.
