The vehicles are manufactured by a Chinese manufacturer of specialised cargo equipment. They are equipped with 4x4 all-wheel drive and are used for in-port transport of containers. The tractors have high manoeuvrability, improved control system and are able to move a road train weighing up to 90 tonnes.
