Sisu LV-131CVT – Finnish truck range: six-cylinder of 6.54 litres displacement, up to 125 kW, 6.75 to 9.6 t unladen weight, 6.98 to 7.9 m length
Sisu LV-131CVT is a range from the Finnish manufacturer Sisu, based in Karis (Karjaa). The brand name Sisu, used in Finland for commercial vehicles since 1931, means roughly perseverance in Finnish and stands programmatically for the vehicles' construction, built for harsh Nordic operating conditions. The vehicles recorded here uniformly carry a six-cylinder engine of 6.54 litres displacement, an engine common in mid-range Sisu trucks. The four-digit suffixes in the model names denote different wheelbase variants of the range.

The register lists here 7 versions with up to 125 kW from six-cylinders of 6,540 cm³, unladen weights from 6,750 to 9,600 kg, gross weights from 16,000 to 17,500 kg, lengths from 6,980 to 7,900 mm and widths from 2,400 to 2,515 mm.
The LV-131CVT range belongs to the mid-weight class of the Sisu programme, used in Finland and Scandinavia mainly in distribution, construction and municipal transport, where Sisu, as a domestic brand, has a firm customer base alongside Scania and Volvo. Unlike the large-series manufacturers, Sisu builds its trucks in smaller numbers and largely to individual customer specification, which explains the large number of different equipment and body variants within a single range.
On used LV-131CVT-range trucks, operating hours of the six-cylinder engine, the condition of the gearbox and clutch, rust on the frame and cab mounting, and brake and tyre condition count; spare parts run through the Sisu service network.
