ENASA Pegaso 3050

     Notes: This is a heavy truck produced by Spain, and also used by Nigeria.  It is of cabover construction, using the same cab as the 3045.  The standard version is a cargo/troop carrier, with a cargo area covered by canvas and troop seats down the center facing out.  As with many trucks, the 3050 could haul more on road – 10 tons. The 3050 can tow 7.5 tons cross country or 14.5 tons on road. The 3050 has an optional winch with a capacity of 6 tons. Each axle has a locking differential, and the truck also has a pump to give it forced lubrication, a plus on steep roads. The 3050 has power assisted steering and brakes, and is powered by a Pegaso 910/40 diesel developing 170 horsepower; its weakness is this engine, which makes the 3050 underpowered. The engine is coupled with a manual transmission.

     Other versions include a bridging vehicle, dump truck, recovery vehicle, shop van, and tractor truck. 

ENASA Pegaso 3055

     Notes: This heavy truck supplements the 3050 in Spanish service.  It was designed for off-road use, with a better suspension than the 3050, while the 3050 was primarily designed for on-road use.  It is also used by Morocco.  The 3055 is known for its durability and strength of chassis. The 3055 has a 6x6 suspension and is powered by a Pegaso 9220/10 turbocharged diesel developing 200 or 220 horsepower; the 220-horsepower engine is the one used by the Spanish military, while the 200-horsepower is used by civilian concerns. The cab is the same as used on the 3050, but the cargo bed is larger. The 3055 has an optional winch with a capacity of 6 tons. The 3050 has power assisted steering and brakes. Like the 3050, the 3055 is a trifle underpowered, even with the 220-horsepower engine.

     Variants include a tanker, an artillery tractor, a carrier for an artillery rocket launcher called the Tereul, as a tractor for the Selenia Aspide SAM launcher, crane truck, tractor truck, recovery vehicle, fire truck, dump truck, and with van bodies for communications, ambulance, command post, or refrigerator truck duties. 

UROVESA TT

     Notes: The TT is a series of URO trucks, which come in military and civilian versions. The TT is built to be tough, tough to take military off-road situations. So far, there has only one export made (Morocco), but the TT has seen combat service in Afghanistan, Iraq, and Lebanon.  The division of UROVESA that produced military trucks also produces heavy vehicles, ranging from heavy-lift forklifts to fire engines. Several other countries are testing the TT, after its performance in Afghanistan and other war zones. Military versions can range from load carriers to shelter carriers to cranes and mortar and SAM carriers. Significant numbers are used by civilians, for tasks ranging from firefighting to logging. In either military or civilian guises, a snowplow can be fixed to the front (AV2).

     The TT has a 4x4 off-road suspension, with run-flat and puncture-resistant tires.  They are each independently suspended, increasing off-road capability. The TT is capable of fording mud, show, and water up to 800mm, and can be transported by C-130-class aircraft. It may be parachuted with a reduced suspension, which can be raised to operational levels in less than a minute after crews get to them. The wheels have differential locking and can operate in low and high-suspension mode. (400 millimeters is standard.) In certain special conditions, the TT can reach a grade of 100 degrees, and 40 degrees side slope. Tow capacity is equal to its cargo capacity. Winches are an options; they can feed out the front of the bumper, be fixed to the center of the vehicle, and the line can be led out the front or rear.  The standard winch for this vehicle is a 5-ton winch which is in the front bumper and affixed to the frame. The winches can have a capacity of 5 tons (included below) or 10 tons. Air conditioning is an option for the cab, which may be two-man or five-man.  (The version below has AC). Even light armor can be added to the TT.

     Military-wise, the base member of the TT line is the F3-21.14.  This variant has a 210-horsepower Iveco turbocharged diesel with an optional manual or automatic transmission. Construction is largely of light alloy overlaid with steel; the tubular elements and bars are for the most part light alloy, while the overlying sheets of metal are steel.  The engine has an aluminum block and cylinders.  Brakes are drum brakes with ceramic shoes.  A commander’s machinegun and mount are also an option (included below).  Other options include cargo/shelter bodies, workshops, van bodies for load carrying, a tanker bed, and a military firefighter; URO will also add options to TT for the most part as desired by the buyer.

     The F3-24-14 is essentially the same as the F3-21-14, but with a larger cargo body and carrying capacity.  It is, in general, a heavier vehicle. The F3-28.20 is an even larger version of this vehicle.  It uses a 275 hp turbocharged Iveco engine and has in general a heavier, and a larger cargo body.

*The AV listed applies only to the cab; the rest of the truck is AV1.  The floor of the cab is AV4Sp.
