WS2400

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A DF-11 TEL vehicle, based on the WS2400.

The WS2400 is a 8x8 special heavy duty truck developed and built by Wanshan Special Vehicle and used by the People's Liberation Army of the People's Republic of China as a transport/erector launcher platform and is a reversed engineered version of the MAZ-543 missile Transporter erector launcher.

Wanshan Special Vehicle (湖北三江航天万山特种车辆有限公司)] is a wholly owned subsidiary of China Aerospace Sanjiang Space Co. Ltd (中国航天三江集团), which is in turn a subsidiary of China Aerospace Science and Industry Corporation (CASIC). The advantage of the WS2400 compared to the MAZ is that it utilizes a German diesel engine, transmission and hydraulics manufactured by Wanshan in China, built using technologies transferred from ZF Friedrichshafen.

The WS2400 is used as the base for the DF-11 SRBM and A-100 MRL platforms.
