Description
[edit]For the Tatra 158 Phoenix model line, Tatra does not use air-cooled engines of its own design, but uses Paccar MX engines, according to the emissions standards of Euro III, Euro V, and since 2015 with Euro VI.[4]
Standard is the 16-speed gearbox ZF, manual or automatic. The auxiliary transmission is of Tatra's own construction.[4][5] The vehicle is built on the Tatra-concept chassis. Angle of approach is at 31°, this is one of the best values of the approach angle among off-road all-wheel drive trucks.[6]
The Tatra Phoenix won second place in the European Truck of the Year 2012 competition.[7] At Silva Regina 2012 exhibit in Brno has been awarded by the “Extraordinary Award of the CEO and Jury".[8]
The first Tatra Phoenix Euro VI vehicles appeared in operation in early 2015. They have new facelifted cabins designed by DAF (again in Day or Sleeper Cab versions) and a completely reconstructed cabin floor.[6]
The new generation of Tatra Phoenix come in june 2024, with the new series DAF CF cabs.[9][10]
