The AirEx Truck is a Combine tank truck cut from Half-Life 2.[1][2] A huge truck with four wheels, a small windowed cabin and two tanks, it was to be seen in the Air Exchange.[2]
Overview[edit]
To be seen in the Air Exchange exterior parts, the AirEx Truck (its model name) was likely to not have a particular use or role, apart from scenery, since it was to be used a static prop in the maps.[2] Storyline speaking, it was probably to transport fuel or any other material used in the facility and was subsequently cut when the Air Exchange chapter was itself removed.
The map airex_0102 features it as a brush, but the textures of the bodywork and the tanks are incorrect, thus leaving its original color unknown.
Its model can be found in the Half-Life 2 leak files and appears in several WC map pack maps, but its textures were not finalized at that time, like the Digger or the Jet Ski. It is unknown if they were ever finished.[1]
