TerraMax

The TerraMax vehicle is based on Oshkosh’s Medium Tactical Vehicle Replacement (MTVR) defense truck platform. The MTVR was designed for the US Marine Corps with a 70% off-road mission profile.

All-wheel drive, TAK-4™ independent suspension, and central tire inflation make rocks, dips, holes and crevasses easier to handle. And the truck can handle 60% grades and 30% side slopes. A 425-hp Cat C-12 engine powers the truck.

Drive-by-wire technology allows computers to control the steering via a servomotor, an actuator to operate the brakes, and direct electronic control of the accelerator and transmission. The braking system, developed by Bendix, will use a Bendix EBS in conjunction with an actuator to press the brake pedal.
