The '''Olifant''' is a [[civilian]] waste management variant of the [[M313 Elephant]] heavy recovery vehicle. It is used as a garbage truck in major cities, such as [[New Mombasa]], and can be remote-controlled by an urban infrastructure [[AI]].<ref name="sadie">''Halo 3: ODST'', [[Sadie's Story]]</ref> While they share a similar profile, the Olifant is considerably smaller than its military counterpart at 15.4 meters in length in contrast to the 25.7 meters of the M313 HRV.{{Ref/Reuse|odstdata}}

==Service history==
==Service history==
[[New Mombasa Waste Management]] owned these vehicles, operated by the city's [[Superintendent]]. During the [[Covenant]] [[Battle of Mombasa|invasion]] of New Mombasa, [[Vergil]] used one to save [[Sadie Endesha]] from the corrupt [[Kinsler|Commissioner Kinsler]] by slamming it into his [[D77C-NMPD Pelican|Pelican]], then proceeding to dump its cargo of garbage upon him. The Olifant was then used by Sadie and [[Mike Branley]] to move through Covenant-occupied [[New Mombasa]], in an attempt to rescue [[Daniel Endesha|Sadie's father]]. It was later destroyed by a [[Zurdo-pattern Wraith|Wraith]] after [[Tom Uberti|a salesman]], who was also hiding in the Olifant, opened the top hatch and attempted to surrender.{{Ref/Reuse|sadie}}

The next day, another Olifant was used by Vergil and [[Veronica Dare]] to escape from New Mombasa along with [[Edward Buck]] and the [[Rookie]]. It received heavy damage while escaping along the [[New Mombasa Waterfront Highway]] after being hit by [[Deutoros-pattern Scarab|Scarab]]'s [[focus cannon]]. It had the ability to extend [[energy shielding|shields]] while Vergil was inside of the Olifant. Due to the damage it received from the Scarab, the vehicle was abandoned outside of the [[Uplift Nature Reserve]].<ref name="coastal">''Halo 3: ODST'', campaign level [[Coastal Highway]]</ref>

*All of the Olifants in ''[[Halo 3: ODST]]'' has the number 49 printed on its side. This is another reference to [[Bungie]]'s favorite number, as the square root of 49 is [[seven]], or 7² is 49.
