BAE Systems Land Systems Trojan – armoured engineer vehicle on main battle tank chassis, with a Perkins CV12-8A diesel rated at 895 kW, a David Brown TN54ETS transmission and a weight of 62,500 kg
BAE Systems develops and builds armoured land systems, including the Trojan armoured engineer vehicle. The Trojan sits on a main battle tank chassis and accompanies armoured formations to clear or cross obstacles, minefields and ditches so that the protected fighting vehicles themselves do not have to stop for the task.

The Trojan is powered by a Perkins CV12-8A V12 diesel engine rated at 895 kW. Power passes through a David Brown TN54ETS epicyclic transmission with six forward gears and two reverse gears. At a weight of 62,500 kg and a structural height of 2.5 m, the Trojan sits in the weight class of a main battle tank, matching its massive armour and the attached clearing and digging tools.
The Trojan belongs to armoured engineering equipment that opens a path through obstacles and minefields ahead of advancing main battle tanks. Civilian road vehicle classes, emissions stages and trailer classes do not apply to a tracked vehicle of this weight and purpose; it operates exclusively on military training grounds and in operational areas.
When buying a used Trojan, the condition of the tracks and road wheels matters given the vehicle's extreme weight of 62.5 tonnes, as does the function of the dozer-blade and digging-arm hydraulics, the condition of the epicyclic transmission together with oil analysis, and the running hours of the Perkins engine including its turbocharger and intercooler. Proof of demilitarisation and complete export and maintenance paperwork also matter, since such heavy engineer vehicles may only exist outside military use with the corresponding clearance.

What to check before buying
- Check the hour meter against the service records — a replaced instrument is the most common gap.
- Compare the data plate and chassis number with the papers.
- Check the weights in the papers against the figures here — attachments change them.
- Shift the gearbox cold and warm — jumps only show up at temperature.
- Ask about parts availability for this build year — the running costs hang on it.
