The Best Truck In The World!

[Mr Ed]

I would kill for one of these. This thing is flippin' incredible. Puts a Unimog very firmly in its place as a toy.

22tonnes capacity through the worst conditions imaginable...

nissan cabstar??

[Rupe]

So does the rear section have its own engine? Surely its not run off the front engine? I'm guessing the front engine is for road use only or maybe it assists while off road?

 

The trailer is ingenious!!

[Mr Ed]

Rupe, I was thinking the same thing re: cabstars, transits LDV's etc:D

 

It only has 1 engine, like a conventional truck. It uses front wheel drive only when its running on the road.

[Chris Sheppard]

Smart - liked how it goes into road mode - very clever.

There is a good reason why half tracks died out in the 1950's.....they are shite.

 

Not as fast on road as wheeled vehicles and not as capable off road as tracked ones.All the hassels of tracked machines,without all the advantages.

 

Front wheel drive on road would be great untill you had to stop suddenly,or it got a bit icey.

 

As for having a Tracked on road designed Truck trying to do the job of a real off road dump truck?Well that would be great untill you got it stuck and the Dozer had knowhere to put the blade to push you out,or used the winchrope and ripped off your diffs.

 

Gimmick.
