Vehicle

Vehicles are devices that are designed or used to transport people or cargo from one point to another. Vehicles span a variety of categories, including cars, trucks, boats, airplanes, and trains.

Background
Before the Great War, vehicles used fuel sources such as steam, batteries, fusion, and petrol. After the war, aircraft known as vertibirds were used by various post-War factions including the Enclave, New California Republic, and Brotherhood of Steel. An airship called the Prydwen was built and utilized by the Brotherhood as well, which served as a docking station for vertibirds. The NCR utilizes locomotives in the New Vegas area for transporting construction materials.

They also utilize a monorail for moving troops to and from the New Vegas Strip. Similar to that monorail there is another one called the Nuka-Express for getting to Nuka-World.

In Fallout 2, the Enclave had the working oil tanker, PMV Valdez to go back and forth from their oil rig. The Boomers in Fallout: New Vegas, with the aid of the Courier, wish to recover a pre-War bomber from the bottom of Lake Mead. A cult of ghouls led by Jason Bright attempted to repair REPCONN rockets in order to go on a "Great Journey" to the "Far Beyond."

A wide variety of wrecked vehicles can be found throughout the wastelands, utilized for building materials and fortifications. A few functional automobiles exist in the former state of California such as steam trucks and a car known as a Highwayman. In Appalachia, in the immediate aftermath of the war, vehicles were still used by survivors, such as a raider gang based in the abandoned Bog Town that utilized trucks during their raids. Members of the Free Radicals attempted to repair pre-War vehicles but only automated vehicles such as cargobots and vertibots are operational.
