Sisu E18M – Finnish heavy-haulage trucks from Karis: six-cylinder of 18.1 litres displacement, 455 to 466 kW, 10.4 to 33.7 t unladen weight, 6x4 to 10x4 wheel formulas
Sisu E18M is a range from the Finnish commercial-vehicle manufacturer Sisu, based in Karis (Karjaa), which builds heavy trucks for forestry, construction and special transport in Finland and Scandinavia. The model designations in the register show the wheel formula of each version – such as 6x4, 8x4 or 10x4 – meaning the number of wheels and how many are driven; higher axle counts such as 10x4 spread high gross weights over more axles and are typical of the heaviest chassis in Finnish timber and heavy-haulage transport.

The register lists here 10 versions with 455 to 466 kW from six-cylinders of 18,130 to 18,131 cm³, unladen weights from 10,404 to 33,730 kg, gross weights from 34,000 to 50,000 kg, lengths from 7,000 to 11,900 mm and widths from 2,500 to 2,800 mm.
Thanks to the high gross weights and long vehicle combinations permitted in Finland, Sisu trucks are firmly established in timber transport and heavy haulage, standing there alongside Scania and Volvo as an independent brand tailored to Nordic operating conditions.
On used E18M-range trucks, engine operating hours, the condition of the multiple drive axles and transfer cases, rust on the frame and crane support points on timber-transport versions, and tyre and brake condition appropriate to the high axle loads count; spare parts run through the Sisu service network.
