| - The Transmitter Truck is a Pod vehicle and is featured in the episode Sun Probe.
- The Transmitter Truck is a tracked vehicle seen in the Thunderbirds episode Sun Probe It can send a "safety beam" to space to save stranded spacecraft like the 'Sun Probe' or Thunderbird 3. It is carried in Pod 6.
- Based on the commercially available Scarab Tractor-cat chassis and designated I.R.3, the Transmitter Truck is comprised of two caterpillar sections. Each is served by a power turbine. Essentially a mobile platform for a modified Jodrell Six multi-use dish. The dish can transmit computer data and communication signals to and from inaccessible locations or deep space. It can also transmit radio beams, tractor beams, in addition to pulsing control code signals through space to override internal spacecraft operating systems. A similar beam transmitter unit is built into Thunderbird 3 but has a more limited range. The Transmitter Truck has been designed for operational use in areas where no other transmission equipment is available. Its pressurised cabin enables the vehicle to be operated in ex

The Transmitter Truck has been designed for operational use in areas where no other transmission equipment is available. Its pressurised cabin enables the vehicle to be operated in extreme conditions. A high performance engine and excellent traction capability enable it to b used in mountainous regions.
