The New TATRA PHOENIX Presented to the European Public
After being recently officially introduced to journalists, the new model range of TATRA PHOENIX heavy-duty trucks was presented to the public. The TATRA, a. s. company exhibited the new TATRA PHOENIX truck at three important events. On the weekend of September 24 and 25, the TATRA PHOENIX 8x8 S1 truck, together with a CAS 30 water tender and with one special military truck of the “7-series” T815-7 range, were displayed during the 2011 NATO Days in Ostrava, Czech Republic – the largest event of this kind in Central Europe. The truck was also exhibited at the Nitra Motor Show, held in Nitra, Slovak Republic, from September 29 through October 3rd. The third presentation event was at the International 2011 Brno Engineering Fair, in Brno, a show that reaches far beyond the Czech Republic. The truck is a significant leading-edge innovation and hard evidence of the TATRA brand's ability to compete in the world market.
“With these agreements, the new line of TATRA off-road vehicles will combine the quality, reliability and technological leadership of the PACCAR MX 12.9 l engine and DAF CF cab with TATRA’s versatile off-road chassis which features exceptional performance in the most difficult operating conditions,” said Ronald A. Adams, TATRA chairman and CEO. TATRA’s range of new off road vehicles (4x4, 6x6, 8x8, 10x10 and 12x12) will also be sold by DAF dealers throughout Europe and complement DAF’s premium range of construction vehicles. TATRA a.s., founded in 1850, is among the oldest automotive companies in the world. The Czech company’s product range includes a complete portfolio of heavy duty off-road vehicles, all with excellent mobility even in the most challenging terrains and extreme climatic conditions.
