The TATRA 8×8 High Mobility Heavy Duty Tactical Truck is a member of the most recent development of the new military family of TATRA trucks – heavy-duty vehicles. Due to its specifi c design features and 8×8 drive confi guration, this truck is particularly suitable for operation in the most diffi cult off -road or crosscountry conditions. It can serve as a tactical truck, or carry various kinds of special superstructures and load handling systems. Exceptional resistance of the chassis against twist and bending, as well as low transfer of vibrations on the load make it ideal means for transporting standard containers and shelters, sophisticated electronics, or other sensitive loads.
The 8×8 all-wheel drive chassis employs new development of the independent suspension and backbone tube frame, which are unique characteristics of the TATRA-concept chassis proven for more than 80 years. It allows each wheel to move independently, with improved steering, and maximum tire-to-ground contact, while featuring extreme resistance of the chassis against torsion and bending. This is provided by a solid 3D frame formed by connecting the backbone
tube with a conventional ladder frame via several cross-members. In addition, the backbone tube frame also protects all driveline components, which are placed inside the backbone tube, against impacts, dust, and humidity. Low service and maintenance costs, and actually service-free design without conventional cardan-shaft torque distribution are other benefits of this concept.
Air springs all-round, along with the independent wheel suspension, care for low vertical vibration, and thus provide high ride comfort, enabling also fast drive in rough terrain.
