Torsionally flexible frame
The cranked frame with welded-in tubular cross members is the heart of the vehicle’s torsional capability. Thanks to its torsional flexibility in combination with torque tube technology and the three-point mounting of engine, transmission, cab and body, a diagonal torsion of up to 600 mm is possible. The units are protected above the lower edge of the frame. As the frame is fully welded, it withstands torsion over time. At the same time, the frame offset gives the vehicle a low centre of gravity with high ground clearance.
