Tatra 111
World War II broke out in 1939 and Tatra was forced to produce trucks for military use. That same year the massive 8-ton 6x4 T81 which utilized a 12.5-litre water-cooled 8-cylinder engine of 158bhp (either in gasoline or diesel form), had a carrying capacity of 6.5-tons, and a 65 km/h top speed.
In 1942, as war waged on, came the introduction of the legendary T111 which was derived from the earlier T81. This imposing 6x6 truck was powered by a massive and extremely reliable 14.8-litre V12 208bhp (@ 2250rpm) OHV engine, one of the first air-cooled diesel engines utilized in a truck. The T111 was capable of conquering 50% grades and carrying loads from 6 to 10 tons (depending on the version). Its total wheelbase measured 5.4 meters and its dry weight was 8.5 tons, but it posessed a very respectable maximum speed of 75 km/h. The T111 proved popular as 32243 sales spanned its production years from 1942 to 1961.
