New supply contract for off-road capable Sisu Polar trucks

SISU off-off road trucks are designed for operating in particularly severe off-road conditions, beyond the paved roads. The performance for the rougher roads comes from the rigid frame design and robust suspension, combined with 14R20 sized single wheels on Sisu Axles that are equipped with in-built pneumatic channels enabling smooth adjustment of the tyre pressures during the drive. Economy and serviceability of the off-road capable truck is not compromised thanks to the use of the same technology as in the rest of the proven and reliable Sisu Polar truck range.sisu-polar-single-wheel

In the beginning of 2014 Kamaz Master team received their first new off-road capable Sisu Polar truck, purpose-built to serve as a support vehicle in the events that the Kamaz Master team participates, such as for example “Dakar” and “Silk Way” competitions. After another victorious result in this years “Dakar” event, the team visited SISU plant in Karjaa, Finland, on their return voyage to the home base in Naberezhnye Chelny, Russia. During the visit the requirements of the team were discussed in detail. Later in June 2014 Kamaz Master team placed an order for further two Sisu support vehicles, this time of Sisu Polar 8×8 variant.

– We are proud of the continuous trust Kamaz Master team has shown on Sisu truck products. Challenges during the off-road race events require reliability and performance. Kamaz Master teams’ choice is a proof of quality, and know-how, says Jyri Ahonen, Vice President of Oy Sisu Auto Ab

Sisu Polar off-road trucks are suitable for numerous applications and end uses for which the extra performance is required.

The off-road capable Sisu Polar truck is able to deliver cargo quickly to remote places where cargo terminals and sophisticated logistic support functions do not necessarily exist. Also. efficient assemblies, maintenance works and repairs on power distribution networks, for example, are possible thanks to the off-road capable aerial platform vehicle based on Sisu 8×8 platform.

Off-road capable Sisu Polar truck introduced

The Finnish truck manufacturer Sisu Auto has extended the Sisu Polar range to cover also improved off-road capability. Sisu is the answer for transport performance requirements in the most demanding duties. Single wheeled off-road capable Sisu Polar truck continues the legacy of taking the cargo further than the paved road exists.

The improved performance necessary on the rougher roads is based on 14R20 single wheels, as well as on robust Sisu Axles that are equipped with in-built pneumatic channels to allow the CTI system for smooth adjustments of the tyre pressures during the drive. Otherwise the truck utilises the same technology as the rest of the Sisu Polar range. Thereby, economy and serviceability of the off-road capable truck are not compromised.

The off-road capable Sisu Polar truck is available in 6×4 and 6×6 driveline configurations. For heavier loads, also 8×8 variant is supported.

Kamaz Master team was the first customer for the new off-road capable Sisu Polar truck. Sisu Polar shall serve as a support vehicle in the events that the Kamaz Master team participates, such as for example “Dakar” and “Silk Way” competitions.

– We are delighted to welcome Kamaz Master team among the users of our truck products. Selection of Sisu Polar for the support functions of the team is a proof of reliability and performance, the key elements to meet with challenges during the off-road race events, says Jyri Ahonen, Vice President of Oy Sisu Auto Ab.

In addition of being off-road capable, the truck is also very versatile and therefore suitable for numerous other applications and end uses.

– Equipped with a hook-lift unit the off-road capable Sisu Polar truck is able to deliver cargo, loaded on flat racks or containers, quickly to remote places where cargo terminals and sophisticated logistic support functions do not necessarily exist. Logistics Corps operations are one good example of such end use Jyri Ahonen continues. Also timber transport in varying seasonal conditions would still be possible with single wheeled truck, when the ordinary solution is not enough.
