A speeder truck,[2] also known as a truckspeeder[3] hovertruck or a repulsortruck, was a type of landspeeder[1] that typically had extra room for cargo or storage.[2] The repulsorcraft was large in comparison to typical landspeeders and speeder bikes, and models included the A-A4B truckspeeder owned by Moloch,[3] as well as the A-A5 Speeder Truck used by the Alliance to Restore the Republic.[4] Truckspeeders were known for having stronger antigravity generators than the typical landspeeder, but were lacking in acceleration.[5]
When escaping from Imperial scout troopers on Lothal alongside the bounty hunter Bossk with a speeder bike, Ezra Bridger drove into a tunnel in the opposite direction, necessitating him to evade a sanitation repulsortruck amongst other repulsorlift vehicles. Further down the tunnel, Bridger encountered a wide and tall repulsortruck that forced him to swing his speeder close to the tunnel's ceiling to avoid being hit.[1]
Cargo speeders were also repulsorlift vehicles that transported cargo.[6]
Behind the scenes[]
The speeder truck first appeared in canon in the 2014 junior novel Ezra's Gamble, written by Ryder Windham.[1]
