Tatra-DAF and more

This month, Tatra will anoounce their new series of trucks with DAF CF cabins. Nine prototypes are around, being tested at the Polygon and nearby roads. The T 815 cabin production line will be dismantled, being designed for the huge numbers in the communist era, and not the present numbers. On a much smaller scale, for spare parts production, the T 815 cabins will be continued to be built in Prague.

 

Most probably other activities will stop soon as well. The Jamal, with a modified T 815 cabin, will be stopped as will be Tara’s engine production.

As foreseen for quite some time, Tatra will concentrate on its unique chassis concept.

For the home non-military market, Tatra hopes to built 350 new Tatra-Dafs (DAF-Tatras) to supply its dealers and atract interest from their old clientele, the roadconstruction people. Negotiations who will fince this batch of trucks are still going on, Tatra itself heavily debtened.
