engineers of Sisu-Auto. The starting point was NATO compatibility, which can be seen for instance on the tyre size of 14.00-20 and the general looks of the vehicle. Building of the first prototype was started in

The cabin is forward-control type and contains seats for driver and two passengers. Both the cabin and platform are attached on the frame by elastic pads which allow the torsional movement of the frame without twisting the superstructures.

The engineering work began in 1978 in the main office of Sisu-Auto located then in
Fleming Street, Helsinki. The project manager was Seppo Kokkola, the head engineer of the company. The other members were Kari Lindholm, Veli Vallinoja, Uoti Hartikainen and Kalevi Kakko who were the most notable

The vehicle top speed is 100 km/h and its range is 800 km. The off-road capability is good mainly due to the torsionally bending frame. The angle of approach is 42° and the angle of departure is 39°. The ground clearance is 0.4 m and turning circle 8.2 m.

Based on experience from Sisu A-45 and due to new, heavier cannons, there came a need for stronger vehicles in the
Finnish Defence Forces. Due to this, Sisu-Auto started a development project of an entirely new medium size off-road lorry.
