FAP 3232 BDST/AV

     Notes: A modification of the FAP 2832 heavy truck, this semi-tractor is basically the FAP 2832 with the cargo body replaced by an area carrying a fifth wheel.  The semi-tractor has a forward control cab with a tilting body for maintenance of the engine and transmission, with individual seating for the driver and one other crewmember.  There is ample space behind the seat for their equipment.  The suspension is 8x8 and off-road capable, with a central tire inflation system.  All eight axles have single tires.  The truck is not a heavy hauler compared to most military semi-tractors, but most tanks in the former Yugoslavia are fairly light as tanks go.  The truck has a pair of 20-ton winches behind the cab; one is routed forward, while the other one pulls to the rear.  The FAP 3232 is powered by a Mercedes-Benz OM403 diesel developing 320 horsepower. It can ford 1.2 meters.
