Tatra T813 was a truck produced in Czechoslovakia (middle Europe) by the Tatra company. It was produced from 1959 to 1982. 8x8, V12, 17 640 cm3, 198.6 kW (266 hp) @ 2000 rpm, 990 N·m (730 ft·lbf) @ 1300 rpm.
Is this his first time in the mud, once it stops moving you are stuck... back up a few feet and try again... don't back up til you get it stuck backwards too... And you really have to try to get this thing stuck it has 8 drive wheels...
Czech republic, it says in the description. If I remember rightly from the coverage that got briefly shown in the UK years ago its largely Germans and French that take part in this. It may have been taken over by Russians by now I dunno I just stumbled across it lol.
I love these trucks - they have been assembled in Kopřivnice Czech rep, just 50km from where I live - I went for some shows them use to do....no other truck is like Tatra.... For truck lovers - another modification of this truck fights every year in Rally Paris - Dakar and won several times...
I have a Duramax Diesel, removed the cat converter, detuned it to get less MPG (but more power). Smells great. I ride with all 4 windows down hoping the wind wraps the perfume into the truck. I wrote to Gore about this success story
Michael Coulter These specific brands may not commercialize in the USA, but I'm pretty sure you can find american truck manufacturers that sell twin steer trucks, and if you want something that can perform like this, you can check with companies that sell heavy construction machinery - or ask someone in the military involved with the engineering corps, since I believe they use some trucks similar to these.
Michael Coulter no problem. According to wikipedia, the Tatra 815 is imported by the USA for use as firetrucks, and there is a US company that makes specialty all-wheel drive trucks - particularly for the military - called Oshkosh Defense. The military name for them is: Heavy Expanded Mobility Tactical Truck All these trucks appear to not be a consumer item, so it might be difficult to purchase one as a regular citizen, but like I said, ask the people who do buy them (military, fire corps, heavy machinery companies, etc). Good luck ;)
+godthisisannoying You can find something similar, but it's not gonna be all wheel independent suspension. They only swing axles, but back bone style, no drive shafts exposed. I believe thats what makes them unique. With all that said it would maybe outperform with decent reliability, but it's still very old tech, they start making these in 30's, wikipedia even dates first example to 1923. Passenger models were using same suspension in rear too. One thing i was always wondering is how bad are swing axles for tire wear too...
Considering how few of those trucks exists, people really shouldn't be worried about how much they pollute. It's the everyday consumer cars, trucks, lorries and tractors that make the main share of the pollution. Well, after public transport like Aeroplanes, trains and busses offcourse. The few specialist vehicles like this one, are so few it doesn't even matter if they burnt even twice as much as they do now.
Oh, I served the danish military for 9 years, and I now whats mud is and driving off-road in trucks and tanks is! But that served a purpose, both for training of the national military defense and in the IFOR forces back in 96 in Serbia...
Black smoke means that there is to much diesel fuel and not enough air. You see smoke mostly at low revs and full throttle when the turbo is not delivering enough air for the high amount of fuel that gets injected. Other than that, theres no problem. It won't hurt an old diesel engine.
So this was obviously some sort of off road trial, anyone know what the rules where? Did you just have to go across and out? Was it timed? Or just a bunch of guys messing about?

One of the greatest truck trial vidoes of all times.
Nice to see independent half axles in action.
No poke without smoke, thats some power there and determination!
those are bad ass rigs - wonder how much fuel that thing shot out to go a hundred yards ha awesome
No es chimenea es un poderoso motor de unos 8500 cc con una trasmisión de 8 x 8 una verdadera maquina. Felicidades. A la ingenería automotriz...
Awesome challenge. Great driving skills.
I honestly did not think he would be able to pull out of that mud.
I love these movies. Off-roading way beyond the extreme.
NAPROSTO GENIÁLNÍ! :)
Super vidéo
realistically speaking where would you actually use such a truck?
In Russia, when truck gets stuck, truck does not give a shit. Truck moves anyway.
That bloke seriously needs to double his horse power, at least he made it out I spose
TATRA to Tatra! :D Super ciężarówka!
They make an awesome sound, what the hell are they used for, missile transporters LoL :)
You couldn't pay me to swim in that water...
what an awesome machine, five stars for the truck
I don't think its old. Thats how they make em in Eastern Europe. V8 turbo diesel, air cooled.

total weight of the T 813 8x8 is about 22 tons, the adjustment for trucktrial weighs about 12-16 tons.
A handle to pull a trailer weighing 100 tons.
Do not understand next road Why drove into the water ... is performance in the show car was it?
That's one hell of a truck =) One of my favorite ones to drive in ROR.
it has almost everything to do with the air, creak92 you are correct
The ploving pipers must really thrive on these shores...also great for the environment! Real smart...
Definitely. Czech Tatra trucks are the best in the world, abolute number one.

This is an inspiration for the next Prius!

This needs to be sent to green peace.
I did not think that it will get out finally :O ! Amazing!
I like how it honks at the end, its like yay for me!
What kind of truck is this?
LOVE THE SOUND OF THE V12 Diesel!!!!
somebody tell me why are those people swimming in that puddle?
needs more wheel speed...but i know thats a hard thing to ask of an 8 wheel drive all locker axle vehicle lol!! i love this
Lol at the dudes swimming in there like SUP
That truck is unbelievable, but what do you use them for?
Thats some NASTY mud! Nice vid.
Better than anything the US is capable of making
I think he is able to drive on highways Brasileiras.
Fantastic
Awsome truck man! Crazy mud!
Now thats fun, awesome truck
Have you ever heard about fun?

Caminhão muito loco, tem que trazer uns destes para andar em São Paulo na época de chuva.
What sort of truck is that awesome monster?

Nuhglj

A z bohem nasa heská, krásna Příroda!
Very good.
Not going to Czech for my hols ...
Geiler Sound!Zum Spaß in den Urlaub fliegen verpestet die Umwelt noch viel mehr....
And kids swimming in the mud hole...oh brother!
Tatra nej...!!
молочинка, мусчина!!
Remindes me of my Toyota Tercel 4 x 4 with tilt guages.
if Tatra stuck, press smoke button. If smoke comes out, Tatra moves again
It is a lever, not a button.
This truck demands respect and gets it
which god? Zues? Thor?
Imagine driving one of those in the city! :D
It's just water with stirred up ground....
The best wave pool EVER!
Nasty bit of bog, that.
Euro 4?

genau so
Thats a bad ass truck!! I want one! LoL.... It goes anywhere!!
Love this video because i like trucks ;)
did it de-flate and re-inflate it's tires several times ? or is it just my impression ?
She earned her keep in my book.
that must be a hybrid. i dont see any fumes coming from the exhaust
I love this sound tatra 4 ever ♥
That was pretty fucking awesome. :D
i´ve been only nothing, since i´ve visited truck trial sesion in czech republic.
now, i can say, i´m the man :)
Where it is?
Does it get decent mpg?
Tatra??
@Justy330 The cat on your Cummins doesn't reduce black smoke. The DPF does. A cat only reduces the CO.
If you put rocks in the tires instead of air, they won't float as much, hence getting you across the water better.
Awesome, sheer determination there!
Fucking amazing. Never thought it would get out of that deep soggy mud.
where can i get one?
So this was obviously some sort of off road trial, anyone know what the rules where? Did you just have to go across and out? Was it timed? Or just a bunch of guys messing about?
That was impressive
lol, injection pump turned up much?
My guess would be at a meaningless river crossing in the Czech Republic.
