Iveco M1100

The Iveco M1100, known in Italy as the Astra SMH 88.50, is an 8x8 military tank transporter built by Iveco's defence subsidiary, Iveco D.V., from 2003. The French Wikipedia article says it was made from 2003 to 2015 and replaced in 2016 by the Iveco M1250. Until then it was the heaviest vehicle at the top of Iveco's range of tactical trucks. It was designed to tow main battle tanks, self-propelled howitzers and other heavy loads to the front line, such as the Italian Ariete C1 tank, and it is at home off paved roads. It is built on a heavily modified chassis of the 8x8 Iveco M320, with many components shared with the range and drawn from the heavy EuroTrakker, and it has a single wheelbase of 1,995 plus 3,500 plus 1,450 millimetres. The payload can reach 70 tonnes, and the tractor is approved for a combined weight of 110 tonnes, though the technically admissible weight is 130 tonnes. An armoured cab seats the driver and up to three passengers, with bunks. The engine is a turbocharged 13.8 litre Iveco 8210 diesel of 500 horsepower meeting Euro 2, with a 16 speed semi-automatic transmission, permanent all wheel drive, central tyre inflation and two winches. A loaded tractor can reach 80 kilometres per hour. Italy is the user named.
