	While building ~~your~~ industrious Soviet Republic ~~you~~ can choose between various forms of vehicles: [[road vehicles~~\|road vehicles,~~]] [[trains]], cableways and ships.		While building an industrious Soviet Republic, the player can choose between various forms of vehicles: [[road vehicles]], [[trains]], cableways and ships.

	Different vehicles can be bought from the [[Soviet Bloc]] (with Rubles) and from the [[Western Bloc]] (with USD) at the depot building for the vehicle type. For example, [[road vehicles]] can be bought at a road vehicle depot. Alternatively, it is also possible to purchase the vehicle's blueprint and manufacture them locally. Manufactured vehicles are marked as "brand new" and can be exported by delivering them to a [[customs house]] or, for ships, by telling them to move to the border.

Manufactured vehicles are marked as "brand new" and can be exported by delivering them to a [[customs house]] or, for ships, by telling them to move to the border.

	A vehicle's price is dynamically calculated based on the current price of its material resources, its age and its statistics. A vehicle's blueprint is priced at 13 times its normal buy price. Some vehicles are part of the same "family", for example, the different versions of the V3S truck. If ~~you purchase~~ the blueprint of a vehicle in a family, then all other blueprints for that vehicle family will have their buy prices reduced by ~~a massive 87~~%. When exporting a "brand new" western vehicle to the east, the price will be doubled. Similarly, the price of an eastern vehicle exported to the west is halved.
