Besides, the Sisu Defence tactical trucks can be equipped with add-on armor kits. Sisu 10x10 truck is supplied in special versions and can be modified with ease to meet customer's requirements.
The Sisu 10x10 truck is the most robust vehicle in the Sisu family and has been designed for on-road and off-road operations carrying extremely large and heavy loads.

The Finnish Defence Forces ordered nine of these vehicles with deliveries due between 2007 and 2009.
