DAC 13.215 FAEG

     Notes: This may be regarded as a larger version of the DAC 11.154 FAEG found in Romanian Medium Unarmored Vehicles.  The cab is identical to the 11.154, and the only major change is in the wheelbase, engine, and transmission.  The vehicle has a cabover design, and the driver has an adjustable seat, seat belts for the cab crew. The rear cargo area has a drop tailgate; folding bench seats are sometimes fitted but not always. The vehicle has a 6-ton capacity winch with 60 meters of cable which may be led out to the front or the rear of the truck. Towing capacity is 5 tons cross-country or 8.5 tons on road. The 13.215 FAEG is powered by a Type D2158 HMN8 diesel developing 215 horsepower.  This is coupled with an AK6-80 M manual transmission on a 4x4 suspension. Steering and brakes are power assisted.

DAC 15.215 DFAEG

     Notes: The DAC 15.215 DFAEG (originally the DAC 665T) is a medium 6x6 truck used by Romania.  It is an enlarged DAC 444T (see Romanian Medium Unarmored Vehicles), and shares many components with that vehicle.  It is of a cabover design, with the crew cab located over the engine and transmission, and the cargo compartment to the rear.  The cab is unusually large for a vehicle not designed as an artillery tractor and is heated. The cargo compartment is all metal, with a drop tailgate and removable tarpaulin cover.  There are folding bench seats on either side, facing inward.  The cab is also all metal, with a hatch on the right side of the roof with a weapon mount.  There is a spare tire behind the cab on the right side.  The 15.215 DFAEG has a winch with a 10-ton capacity and 60 meters of cable. The 15.215 DFAEG is powered by the same engine as the 13.215 FAEG above, along with the same transmission, and has a 6x6 suspension.

     Variants of this vehicle include a carrier for a Romanian-built 40-round 122mm rocket launcher, and a resupply vehicle for the rocket launcher that has a 6-ton capacity loading crane.

     The 15.240 DFAEG is virtually the same, but is powered by a Deutz BF 6M 1013EC 236-horsepower turbocharged diesel engine, coupled with an SS-100 manual transmission.

DAC 16.215/240 FA

     Notes: This is a heavy 4x4 truck designed for use as an artillery tractor, general troop/cargo carrier, or with a flatbed modification, for palletized or containerized loads.  It is of a cabover design, with the crew cab located over the engine and transmission, and the cargo compartment to the rear. The cab has a heater and an adjustable seat and steering column for the driver. The cab is also all metal, with a hatch on the right side of the roof with a weapon mount. The cargo compartment is all metal, with a drop tailgate and removable tarpaulin cover. There are folding bench seats on either side, facing inward; these seats are not normally extended as the vehicle is used to transport ammunition. The engine of the 16.215 FA is a variant of that of the 15.215 DFAEG; it is a Type D2156 HMN8 diesel developing 215 horsepower. The transmission is the same as the 15.215 DFAEG, the AK6-80 M manual transmission, and on a 4x4 suspension.

     The 16.240 FA is the same, but is powered by a Deutz BF 6M 1013EC 236-horsepower turbocharged diesel engine, coupled with an SS-100 manual transmission. The suspension has also been upgraded, allowing for an increase in cargo capacity.

DAC 21.410 VFAEG

     Notes: This heavy 8x8 cargo truck is designed to be able to tow heavy trailers and artillery pieces without a significant loss of mobility, and is able to tow loads of up to 16 tons.  The truck design is cabover, with the driver and front passenger having adjustable seats supported on shock absorbers. The cab is also all metal, with a hatch on the right side of the roof with a weapon mount. The truck has a center-mounted winch able to be led out the front or back, and with a capacity of 14 tons.  Power is provided by a Deutz BF6M1015C Euro II turbocharged diesel developing 408 horsepower, coupled to a ZF 6 HP automatic transmission. Steering and brakes are power assisted. It is otherwise similar to other trucks of the DAC line.

DAC 33.360 DFA

     Notes: This heavy 6x6 truck is a PLS/DROPS type vehicle, designed for the transport of containerized or palletized loads.  Loads are handled by the Multilift Mk 4 LHS (Load Handling System). It can use the LHS to muscle aboard an 18-ton container to its load platform, or a number of smaller loads. The truck is powered by a Deutz BF6M 1015C Euro II turbocharged diesel developing 360 horsepower; this is coupled with a ZF 16S-151 manual transmission. The brakes and steering are power assisted. The 33.360 is not designed for towing, but has a tow pintle at the front and rear. The 33.360 is not meant to transport troops, but a figure for a jury-rigged seating arrangement is provided.  The cab is heated and air conditioned, and has a hatch over the commander’s position (without a weapon mount).     

     The only known variant is a 10,000-liter tanker.
