Militarymedia.net - The huge and haunted appearance of ballistic missiles often attracts attention, however, it is not only the side of the missile that is a concern, but the launcher vehicle of the missile is also an object of particular concern. Referred to as the TEL (Transport Erector Launcher), especially those that adopt the tire-wheel platform, shows a type of heavy truck with an unusual design.
Derived from the "breed" of the Soviet Union, the ballistic missile launcher truck model is widely used by Russia, China, North Korea and several countries in the Middle East which in its time often bought weapons from the Soviets. Especially in China, if previously there were more copas and reverse engineering heavy trucks from Russia, now the Bamboo Curtain Country has succeeded in creating a heavy truck that is completely different from what has been shown to the public so far.
His figure was first recorded on the broadcast of China Central Television (CCTV) - the national television owned by the Chinese Government, this is what is called HTF5700HEV heavy wheeled vehicles. Quoting from caacar.com (13/5/2021), although it is not shown to carry a ballistic missile launcher, the HTF5700HEV will be used by the Chinese Army's Artillery Unit. What is phenomenal, this heavy duty ruck is like being designed with a low deck platform, carrying six axle wheels, this truck has a 12 × 12 drive.
In addition to the futuristic appearance of a vehicle on Mars, the HTF5700HEV also carries hybrid technology (hybrid) for its mobile power. Designed by the China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation (CASC), this truck relies on electric power and a diesel engine. The “HEV” identity implies that this truck carries hybrid technology. In the electric vehicle market in China, HEV signifies unplugged hybrid technology, similar to the Toyota Prius.
For information, China has now become a major player in the production of global electric vehicles, including China which is the largest supplier of electric buses in the world. Unfortunately, there is still very limited information about the HTF5700HEV, apart from the 12 × 12 drive variant, reportedly this truck also comes with 10 × 12 and 12 × 10 variants.
