TATRA 6x6 or 8x8

[charlieaarons]

I don’t think there’s a 16.00 rated at >55mph. 14.00s usually are rated at 62. 395s as low as 55, but usually 62 and XZL2s at 68-75.
So generally one drives on good paved roads at ~60; driving at and beyond the speed limits on American interstates isn’t really an option with these vehicles with big tires.
Besides, even though I have a CDL, driving one of these things at 70-75 seems scary and foolhardy. And drivetrains aren’t usually designed for it especially with portals or planetaries.

One advantage for Tatra is to eliminate the 3-point subframe, which increases height, weight and complexity. A drawback may be much less repaire service available around the world compared to German makers. Roughly how much is Tatra phoenix 6x6?

Tatra is based in Czechia. They build the chassis and drivetrain and use Paccar engines (US). The Tatra Phoenix cabs are from DAF (Netherlands.) What parts are you aware of that would need to be sourced from Russia?
