TATRA TRUCKS is one of the world’s oldest automotive company with a manufacturing tradition reaching back 170 years. TATRA all-wheel drive off-road vehicles with a unique chassis concept, which is based on a backbone tube and independent swinging half axles made in drive configurations ranging from 4x4 to 16x16, are the key element in the equipment of the Army of the Czech Republic while also being used by armed forces all around the world. 80% of the production of the company are exported and aside from standard model ranges, customized trucks are also tailor-made for customers.

TATRA FORCE is a key product in the defence segment, equipped with the TATRA unique chassis, complete with TATRA air-cooled eight-cylinder engine made in versions from Euro 2 to Euro 5 and with a manual TATRA gearbox (either a direct shift model or with a TATRA electronic shifting system). Besides the air-cooled engines TATRA provides also liquid cooled engines by renowned manufactures Cummins or Caterpillar and fully automatic gearboxes by Allison for instance. TATRA FORCE line can be equipped with standard “soft-skin” cabins, as well as armoured cabins with enhanced ballistic and antimine protection according to NATO standards STANAG 4569. The standard and armoured cabins are made in two-door or four-door versions for crew capacity up to 1+5.

Another major defence product is the TATRA TACTIC range, a medium class all-wheel-drive off-road logistic vehicle. This high mobility off-road vehicle has been designed at the borderline of medium and heavy truck classes N2/ N3. Unlike other TATRA vehicles, TATRA TACTIC is based on the standard ladder frame in combination with special TATRA RIGID portal axles, reaching the extremely high ground clearance. The vehicles are made in 4x4 or 6x6 configurations with regular or armoured cabins and further extensions can be custom ordered.

TATRA TRUCKS continues to supply armies of the Czech Republic, Slovakia and other countries with its vehicles. TATRA TRUCKS also supplies chassis for military vehicles made by the Brazilian company AVIBRAS. TATRA TRUCKS made more than two hundred FORCE chassis in 4x4 and 8x8 versions for customers in Jordan and Egypt. Moreover, in 2014 new production facilities were established in Saudi Arabia to manufacture TATRA TACTIC vehicles.
