Irish Army's mighty IVECO Astra M320 8 x 8

The IVECO Astra M320.42 W BAD 8 x 8 is an Italian-built, rugged, all-terrain military truck. 21 of the DROPS variant, each fitted with a Multilift heavy duty hydraulically operated load handling system (LHS), are in Irish Army service since January 2001. A single IVECO Astra fitted with an EKALIFT 2500 heavy-duty recovery body is also in service. DROPS (Demountable Rack Offloading and Pickup System) is the standard NATO bulk transport system. The LHS enables the IVECO Astra to load itself in minutes with either a flat-rack or a 20 ft. ISO container equipped with a container handling system (CHS). The IVECO Astra can use its LHS to load the Austrian-built EMPL CSA 20 DROPS compatible drawbar trailer in service with the Irish army. DROPS flat-racks can be loaded with any cargo from ammunition to food. Specialist flat-racks are also available equipped with fuel tanks, shelter bodies, decontamination equipment etc. IVECO Astra M320.42 W BAD 8 x 8 specification: IVECO model 8210.42L six-cylinder 13,798cc turbocharged direct injection diesel producing 420 hp @ 1,900 rpm.
