A new modification of the "Valdai 12" truck has been developed in Russia. The special equipment was built on a chassis with an extra-long wheelbase with a Euro platform, allowing loading of 20 standard Euro pallets.
The company "Modern Transport Technologies" (STT) noted that the Euro platform has dimensions of 8.4×2.48×2.7 m.
The superstructure is equipped with a sliding roof with side curtains, which speed up loading and unloading processes.
