Not... really? It's not the primary occupation of who created this car.

Another image if it happens to trigger something extra?

I'm not aware of it being used for that purpose.

No, it was part of a similar series of cars with similar features to this one. None used plants as far as I'm aware.

Was it built that way to pass through narrow and low places and to let passengers view something? Like those vehicles in the tunnels or to inspect below big machines?

Whilst the name lends itself to such an application, this was not built for such a purpose.

Is the name of the car a Dutch word or an English one ?

Not the name, but suitable droll, perhaps even too inventive a name.

Remember I also require who created it!

As a name or are you asking what it's based on?
