It's 200/200, not 2000/200
 
No transportation outside of walking or cycling is necessary at that scale. For connection to other hubs, I suggest train. For transit to remote locations, I suggest a 200 mpg equivalent modern steam engine microcar hybrid.
 
 
    statement1) We have a concept in mind similar to Urbee. Can you help us draw a concept with similar aerodynamics? We are considering a 1000 lb, 12-18 hp, hydraulic drive car, first plain gasoline, then moving to hybrid.
 
    responce1) creating a vehicle form scratch, modify something current, or recycle something from the past?
 
 
Modern with a 3D printed body using an open source printer. Urbee has a printed body.
 
    for an example, google:cushman truckster.
 
 
Not highway safe.
 
    hybrid is still in basic development. what about bio-diesel? you can make it your self.
 
 
How about modern steam fueled by pelletized biomass? We should have this in one year. In the meantime, gas or biodiesel is fine.
 
 
    statement2)For the truck, we want a Unimog-like car with suspension, 60 mph. Main task is to design the suspension and steering, and then we can prototype. Once again - hydrauilic drive for add-on power units.
 
    responce2)what tonage is the unimog?
 
 
1 ton equivalent (F350) cargo capacity should be our first cut.  It should have serious traction power like a F350 to do things like haul 20,000 lb of woodchips from 30 miles away, on a trailer.
\
 
    how much tonage do you need? a ford or chevy diesel stake truck to run on bio diesel i think would work fine. would his vehicle be used to move the different equipment around?
 
 
yes, it would have attachment plates and hydraulic takeoff to handle anything that the tractor can.
 
    in your list of 50 machines, what about a crane or forklift for loading and unloading equipment?
 
 
There is already the Tractor; a forklift is an inexpensive attachment for the quick-connect plate.
 
 
    let me know what you think.
