    摘要: The invention refers to a method for stacking a first motor vehicle on top of a second motor vehicle, comprising the steps of providing a set of rear ramps at the rear part of the lower vehicle, said rear ramps linking the rear part of the roof of the cabin of the lower vehicle, to the ground; providing a set of front ramps or supports in the front part of the roof of the cabin of the lower vehicle, said set of front ramps or supports being such that the front wheels of the upper vehicle, can roll over the same; rolling the upper vehicle on said rear ramps of the lower vehicle so that the upper vehicle ascends or climbs from a position on the ground to a position on top of the roof of the lower vehicle; continue rolling said upper vehicle over the roof of the lower vehicle until it reaches a final stack position, indicated by a stopping means, in which the front wheels of the upper vehicle rest upon the front ramps or supports of the lower vehicle, the rear wheels of the upper vehicle rest upon the rear ramps of the lower vehicle, where the upper vehicle and lower vehicle are substantially vertically aligned, and where the front wheels and rear wheels of the upper vehicle in final rest position are in a lower height than the height of the roof of the lower vehicle; securing the upper vehicle to the lower vehicle by suitable fastening means, where the fastening force of the fastening means preferably is such that the suspensions of the upper vehicle are compressed by about 3 to 5 cm, thus reducing the overall height of the vehicle stack; and, removing, folding or retracting part of or the entirety of the rear ramps of the lower vehicle.Additionally, the invention refers to a vehicle that can carry out said stacking method, which comprises a vehicle body comprising four wheels and a roofed cabin, a pair of front ramps or supports located at both sides of the front end of the roof of the cabin and a pair of rear ramps located at both sides of the rear end of the roof of the cabin. The stackable vehicle further comprises means for rapid aerial deployment (airdrop) of vehicles transported in a stack in a transport aircraft.
