Sisu R500 – Finnish heavy chassis for construction, forestry and mining: 13-litre six-cylinder engines from 324 to 390 kW, axle configurations from 6x2 to 10x4, up to 54 t gross weight
Sisu Auto is a Finnish commercial-vehicle maker tracing back to state-run vehicle production founded in 1931; the R series comprises heavy, mostly multi-axle special chassis for construction, forestry and mining work, powered by engines from the former group partner Sisu Diesel, now AGCO Power. In the type codes, E13M denotes the six-cylinder 13-litre engine with manual gearbox, the following digits 6X2, 6X4, 8X2, 8X4, 10X2 and 10X4 describe axle count and drive, and letters such as K, A and P mark cab or body variants.

The register lists 63 versions with 324 to 390 kW from six-cylinder engines of 12,130 to 12,780 cm³, unladen weights of 9,950 to 35,780 kg, gross vehicle weights of 30,000 to 54,000 kg, lengths of 8,015 to 13,000 mm and widths of 2,480 to 2,800 mm.
The R500 serves the heavy special-chassis segment in Finland and Scandinavia for timber haulage, earthmoving and gravel work, and mining, often fitted with crane or tipper bodies; competitors are Scania, Volvo and multi-axle special variants from Mercedes-Benz, against which Sisu positions itself on extreme off-road capability and rugged axle engineering.
When buying used, check the condition of the frame and axle suspension after years of off-road use, wear on differential locks and the transfer case, the state of any crane or tipper body, and the operating hours on the AGCO Power engine; parts run through Sisu Auto and the AGCO Power service network, sometimes with long lead times on older model years.
