Introduction about 12x12 Special Chassis Tatra Cargo Truck:-

The TATRA T815-6MWR8T 12x12 special off-road chassis has ben designed to carry special superstructures in extreme terrain and climatic conditions - up to +50 deg C ambient temperatures. The 12x12 all-wheel drive chassis employs the unique features of the TATRA-concept chassis, which has excellent ability to negotiate difficult terrains. 

The unique system of TATRA chassis, composed of central backbone tube and independent swing half-axles, is extremely resistant against torsion and bending and makes it possible to negotiate difficult terrain and rough surfaces at higher speeds and with better ride comfort than conventional chassis.

The backbone tube also covers all parts and components of the driveline and in this way protects them from impacts and damage. 6-speed fully automatic electronically controlled transmission is incorporated directly into the backbone tube and forms an integral part of the chassis structure. 

This design makes it possible that the transmission works also as a transfer box, so no transfer box is needed. Permanent drive of 4 axles, additional 2 axles can be connected in rough terrain. All differentials lockable. Two front and two rear axles steer able. Semi-automatic TATRA CTIS is standard equipment operated on the fly.
