PAKISTAN ARMY TRUCKS

[DESERT FIGHTER]

I dont think Vigos are used by Army, however, they are used by Paramilitary Forces (FC, Rangers, ANF, Levies, Police etc)

Army also uses them but in low numbers........yes its mostly used by paramilitary forces.

These are Chinese made vehicles.

You can Google by using the TA580/TAS5380 version of vehicles.

But, not much info is available right away, you would have to spend some time to get more of the information.

Yasoob (6 x 6) 6,000 kg truck (Pakistan), Trucks

Development
The decision to proceed with the development of a family of military and commercial trucks was taken by the Pakistan government in July 1989. The first two prototypes of the resultant military truck, named Yasoob after the fastest horse of the Prophet, were handed over to the Pakistan Army for trials during 1990. These vehicles had 40 per cent local content, which increased when full production commenced. Components for all major vehicle units, such as the engine, transmission, axles and transfer, are manufactured under licence (with provision for buy-back arrangements). The first production unit was delivered to the Pakistan Army in 1994.Development of a Yasoob 4 × 4 Mark II model was completed. This model had a forward control cab manufactured by the then Leyland Trucks Limited of the UK. Apart from the standard cargo body, recovery, tanker, mobile workshop and long wheelbase versions were scheduled. As of 1999 Trans Mobile Limited (manufacturers of the Yasoob range) were understood to have ceased trading. No production figures for the Yasoob range were officially released, however it is understood that around 450 (6 × 6) and 250 (4 × 4) models were delivered between 1993-95.

Description
The Yasoob (6 × 6) 6,000 kg truck was designed as an all-purpose vehicle intended for general logistic purposes that can also be used to tow artillery or trailers. The standard model is a cargo truck with a maximum highway load capacity of 12,000 kg (6,000 kg off-road). Layout is conventional, with the 8.3 litre diesel engine at the front, a two-door, three-seat, fully enclosed cab in the centre and the cargo area with high drop sides and a tailgate at the rear. The cargo area can be covered by bows and a tarpaulin, with the bows stowed behind the cab when not in use. Bench seats can be fitted for troop carrying.The frame uses rolled channel construction with six reinforced cross members. The front and rear axles have spiral bevel hub reduction.Three wheelbase lengths (front axle to rear bogie) were stated as available: 4.3 m, 4.6 m and 5.5 m. The standard cargo version having the 4.6 m wheelbase chassis but there was also to be a lengthened cargo bed variant that would utilise the longer 5.5 m chassis. Van-bodied variants (for command post or mobile stores functions) were proposed for all three wheelbase lengths. Other variants in the Yasoob range were to include a dump truck, a wrecker and a tractor truck for towing loads up to 25,000 kg; all three using the 4.3 m wheelbase chassis. A fuel or water tanker version (4.6 m chassis) and a bridging equipment carrier (5.5 m chassis) were also proposed.Commercial

^^^ Any pictures of the 'Yasoob' trucks please. Thanks in advance.

 

[BelligerentPacifist]

Thanks. Hino-Pak, is it a Japan-Pakistan JV? Are they use it for military as well or only civilian?

Which vehicles are these used for TEL (missile launchers)?

These are knock-offs of Soviet MAZ trucks. The 4-axel one is the famous MAZ-543 used as TELs for Scuds. With (probably) all powered axles and two frontal axles steerable for a small turning radius, this is a formidable cross-country vehicle.

Pakistan uses the MAZ-543 derivative for TELs and MELs and for the A-100 MRLSs. It has in other countries been used as a SP Artillery platform, and (probably a 3-axle derivative) as an IFV. They make great fire-engines too.

The longer one is used in Pakistan as the Shaheen II TEL as well as Babur quad-launcher platform.

 

[faisaljaffery]

Thanks God our military is not using open cabin Suzuki Jeeps. These jeeps are not designed to be used for military purposes. PA is mostly using Toyota, Mitsubishi and Land Rovers in Jeep category and Pak Hino made trucks in trucks category

 

[Super Falcon]

hope we get next generation trucks which can move on world's most hardest surfaces from rocky uneven to snowy paths with ease hope becoz in war time if we have to use missiles so these trucks take them near to indian border safely
