TATRA T815-7

This new range of vehicles is designed for operation on extreme terrain and in severe climatic conditions, carrying out and supporting peacekeeping missions and deployment in combat operations in war

confl icts worldwide.

The outstanding driving characteristics of the Tatra chassis on difficult terrains and its resistance to torsion, fl exion and vibrations makes TATRA vehicles extremely suitable for transporting not only people, but also special and sensitive military material and special-purpose truck bodies, such as ammunition transport containers, electronic equipment, radar and other special containers and box bodies. The chassis is also suitable for fi re brigades and intervention forces.

The vehicles were designed with particular emphasis on military vehicle requirements according to the standards applied by NATO and armies worldwide, including the Czech Republic army. In addition,

the vehicle design respects civilian legislation requirements and these models can be used as a special-purpose chassis in the civilian sector, for example cranes or fi re trucks.

The new range of vehicles has many common features and many engines and driving mechanisms can be installed in them . Tatra’s own air-cooled engines and water-cooled engines from various manufacturers can be used and the engine outputs can be matched to mechanical or automatic transmissions of various brands.

STANAG 4569 supplementary armour plating for the cabin in several levels of protection can be installed on this range.

The most important advantages of this range are:

Low overall vehicle structure so that it can be transported by air in a Hercules C-130

All wheel drive with lockable differentials and a system for maintaining tyre pressure while driving

High payload on and off road

The user can have additional ballistic protection for the cabin; installation of supplied additional armour plating set including windows

Advanced pneumatic suspension for variable ground clearance

Small turning circle
