Torsus, manufacturer of one of the world’s toughest, heavy-duty off-road vehicles reveals its latest creation for the commercial sector with TERRASTORM CHASSIS, a versatile 4×4 all-terrain Flatframe chassis, ready to carry cargo or be converted into a truck with a Recovery Vehicle flatbed, Dropside or Tipper configuration. Available to order from 1 January 2022 and with prices starting at €51,716, the first TERRASTORM CHASSIS deliveries will commence in 2022 in both left-hand and right-hand drive.

The 4×4 TORSUS TERRASTORM CHASSIS, based on a Volkswagen Crafter/MAN TGE 4Motion chassis, features a EURO 6 2.0-liter bi-turbo diesel engine offered in 130kW / 177hp, mated to a six-speed manual or an eight-speed automatic transmission.

Engineered and manufactured at TORSUS’ production plant in Slovakia, the heart of vehicle manufacturing in Central Europe, the team applied its expert knowledge gained from producing the PRAETORIAN and TERRASTORM, the world’s first production off-road buses, to design a new ultra-tough 4×4 TERASTORM CHASSIS Flatframe truck. Configurable with either a single or double cab to transport people and cargo to some of the world’s most inhospitable places, the TERRASTORM CHASSIS is dependable and pushes the commercial vehicle sector to new limits.

Designed to deliver goods and supplies through unreachable forests or pathless sands, the TERRASTORM CHASSIS is a reliable assistant for farms or forestry and the perfect base for further conversion.
