The new 16-litre engine produces 600 horsepower and 2800 Nm of torque and is coupled to a seven-speed automatic transmission with a torque converter, a combination that allows the truck to start off smoothly and improves its manoeuvrability at low speeds.
This heavy haulage model is offered as a tractor with leaf springs or air suspension, and comes in a wide range of wheel and axle combinations.
