The vehicle is sealed and is fitted with basic life support and environmental systems. The driver's position is equipped with advanced mechanical controls. An onboard computer system manages the vehicle and a console / heads-up display provides data such as velocity and component status.

The majority of the vehicle is given over to a large cargo hold, accessible via sliding side doors and a rear drop door. There is access from the crew compartment.
