Body Panels designed to trap water is about the most Land Rover way to solve an engineering problem I can think of

Could the tugs be powered electrically fed by conductors (wires, the rails), with the generators outside, or is transmission to inefficient?

What are you talking about? Wranglers go off road all the time!

I’m with you!

Leave it to LR to put so much effort into something so simply and effectively solved.

The same percentage of LR’s are used off road as Wranglers

WELL I GUESS IT WILL BE HELPFUL THE NEXT TIME THE COSTCO PARKING WILL GET FLOODED

Yeah, this is either a Jalopnik or Gizmodo article. It’s interesting but it’s totally out of place here.

I’m guessing they will shut down main propulsion and tow them with tugs, possibly even electric - the propulsion on large vessels probably will not work well in the confines of a tunnel anyway, too powerful, would create all sorts of currents, and only a ship with good bow thrusters etc. could navigate it.

Because it’s going to be militarized.

Militarized Tunnels, AKA the most passive aggressive thing of all time.

How are they planning to handle ship exhaust inside a mile long tunnel?

Some even have water bridges. (Germany)

Trust me on this: infrastructure projects ALWAYS go over budget.

They need to learn a thing or two about stuffing government pork down contractor’s pants, over here we wouldn’t even get the land survey done for $272million. I was expecting the figures to be in the 2-3 billion dollar range, and over a ten year period too.

This will be impressive when it is built. I know Norway has the skill and determination to pull this off. I’m surprised they said it will only cost $272 million. I know money isn’t really a concern, but that is relatively cheap when you live in the US and it takes a half a billion to pave a road.

The Norwegian government has allocated $272 million for the project and around 80 people will work on over a three- or four-year period.

Tesla Model S, I can’t even find the damn thing!

Engine: a Honda engine.

Here you go:

These videos are awesome, but I still want to see footage of it hitting something.
