Torsus, in partnership with independent transportation and industrial design studio Werkemotion, designed the Praetorian to transport personnel and equipment safely across the world’s harshest environments, the Praetorian is based on an upgraded heavy-duty MAN chassis and is powered by a MAN engine and drivetrain.
