Infact the missile carriers of Indian Armed forces are based on tatra trucks..
They have innovative features like swinging half axles, independent suspension , all wheel drive and 4 wheel steering.. they are assembled in BEML . bangalore ... and are occassionally seen in Airport road, thippasandra on test. |
The most unusual feature of the Tatra range of trucks is that their engine is not watercooled but aircooled. Even then, they've had no problems in operating in the hot climate of India. Defies all reason and logic, doesn't it?
Tatra also produces cars in Europe. Even their cars have aircooled engines.
Surprisingly, while BEML continues to produce Tatra trucks in India with Left Hand Drive, the ones produced by Tatra's Indian subsidiary have right hand drive. Wonder why the BEML guys are lagging behind.
