DT-30 Vityaz tracked vehicle

The DT-10P and DT-30P ATVs are widely used by Russian troops deployed in challenging environmental regions, on islands (for transporting army elements, ammunition, equipment, FOLs and installation of weapon systems).

The DT-10P and DT-30P transporters are very efficient as part of search and rescue teams operating in extreme conditions (bad roads, floods, snow-drifts, land and snow slides and large-scale destruction) when it is necessary to evacuate people, animals, and various cargoes up to 30 ton by weight, or transport rescue teams, medical personnel, various equipment and food to the affected area.

Today, Vityaz CTVs are in use throughout the whole territory of Russia, as well as in Arctic and Antarctica

They serve as primary transport vehicles for the personnel who service the oil and gas pipelines throughout Russia,for geologists and scientists who research the remote and isolated regions.

For different industries were produced several specialised versions:DT-30K crane,DT-30E excavator,refuelling vehicles,mobile workshops,mobile oil refineries,passenger transporters,fire-fighting vehicles

The vehicle design primarily features an unconventional pattern of four active track envelopes providing for large surface contact with the ground for greater stability. In addition to this feature, these ATVs ensures the so called "kinematic method" for turning the articulated tracked vehicle through the "forced folding" of its units

As the two units can be turned relative to each other in the vertical and horizontal planes via hydraulic cylinders or, conversely, can be fixed, the two-unit vehicle can move over short (equal to the length of one unit) sections of difficult terrain and obstacles like ditches and walls and come out of water onto an unprepared bank,ice,or peat.

Owing to their unique design, the Vityaz family of ATVs are capable of operating in conditions impossible for other all-terrain vehicles
