Tatra's Phoenix tipper was one to Czech out
Off Road Trucks Australia is based in Western Australia and headed across the country to Brisbane to showcase the new ‘Phoenix’ 6×6 model from Czech maker Tatra.
In close association with DAF, Phoenix is powered by Paccar’s MX engine feeding into a ZF transmission for both 6×6 and 8×8 configurations.
With bases in Perth and Mackay in north Queensland, Off Road Trucks Australia does most of its business in the mining sector.
According to a company spokesperson, a tri-steer model is now under development.
