Sisu Polar

It came into the market in 2011 and the main applications are earthmovers, logging trucks, road maintenance vehicles, mobile cranes and heavy machinery hauliers which are fully equipped in the factory.

[5] At the time when the new model series was under development, the Sisu vehicles were distributed in Finland by Veho, which also represented Mercedes-Benz trucks.

Sisu Auto signed a supply contract with Daimler Trucks AG for cabins, engines and gearboxes.

As the project was revealed and Sisu Auto had gained enough of experience to be confident about the construction, the company decided to announce the new product in the same August.

[2] The large portion of parts sourced from Daimler caused such doubts, that Sisu would be Mercedes-Benz Actros with just a different badge.

The arguments for the selection were mentioned applying modern technology successfully to the Finnish conditions, robust structure and axles, delivering the vehicles ready equipped with the superstructures to the specific purpose and a good component supplier partnership together with a well-covering service network.

[4] At early 2013 the company informed that Euro VI engines will be presented in October 2013 and the first production models would be handed over to customers in the second quarter of 2014.

The more robust version is of 460 mm high C-profile frame, on which all beams and brackets of tipper are directly attached.

The key benefit of the solution is a good dumping stability; on the other hand, the high frame limits the possibilities for superstructure modifications.

Another, conventional arrangement[6] is made from U-profile and is 300 mm high;[3] a separate subframe with the needed brackets is attached by means of bolts.
