The Stria Switzo Propaganda is a van in Just Cause 3.

Appearance

It is designed in the basic silhouette of a typical European van. It takes design cues from the Ford Transit, Citroën Jumper/Renault Trafic and Mercedes Sprinter. Being a Stria vehicle, it features the company's corporate grille.

The van is equipped with loudspeakers on its roof and its purpose is to inform the people of numerous reminders, events, and general information.

When destroyed, it gives 200 Chaos points.

Performance

Same as Stria Switzo, that it's based on.

When hijacked, instead of playing propaganda, it plays a slightly bass-boosted version of the Mile High Club music from Just Cause 2. This is considered to be an Easter egg. If the game music is turned off in the game settings, then it's silent.

Locations

In traffic in settlements, where it's required to destroy one to two of these vans to liberate the settlement:

This vehicle can not be unlocked for Rebel drop.

"D.R.M. officials would like to remind you, if you see something...say nothing."
"Citizens are encouraged to accept all military pat-downs as we work to eliminate the rebel infestation."
"Always remember the words of our esteemed leader: A clean mind, is a happy mind."
"A message, for our tourist friends. Welcome to Medici. Please enjoy our government-approved beaches, and our colorful law enforcement. Have a wonderful day. -Ravello."

When Rico is in the Stunt position

Funnily enough, as long as Rico is peacefully standing on top of the van, D.R.M. won't actually attack him (or even care about him) and will let him continue to ride the van for as long as he likes. Placing a GE-64 charge on the vehicle is a crime though.

"Who do you think you are?!"
"Hey! You! Come on, get off my soapbox!"
"Hey! Get down from there!"
"This is the General's van! Not yours!"
"This is government property!"

If the van is set on fire

"Does anyone have a er a fire extinguisher?"
"That's hot."
"We are in total control here."

Trivia

It's made by the fictional company Stria.
Similar loudspeaker vehicles were used from the 1930s to 1960s in both the USA and USSR.
The driver is a civilian instead of a soldier or member of the D.R.M..
- In fact, this vehicle's driver's character model is the same as the paramedics (seen near ambulances) and as gas station workers.
