Sisu SA – the collective page of the Finnish military trucks SA 110, SA 150 and SA 210 in 4x4 and 6x6 versions: six-cylinder engines, 6,120 to 10,000 cm³, gross weights of 9,500 to 24,000 kg
This collective page gathers the SA range from the Finnish truck maker Sisu, four-wheel-drive military trucks listed in the register in the versions SA 110 as a 4x4, SA 150 in several configurations and SA 210 as a 6x6. Sisu, whose name means stamina and toughness in Finnish, developed these vehicles for the Finnish armed forces and their requirements for off-road capability and winter resilience; the suffixes DS, VKH and CKH in the type designation mark different cab and drive variants of the respective axle configuration.

The register lists 5 versions with 118 to 152 kW from six-cylinder engines of 6,120 to 10,000 cm³ displacement, unladen weights from 6,070 to 18,350 kg and gross weights from 9,500 to 24,000 kg; lengths range from 6,620 to 6,760 mm, widths from 2,320 to 2,500 mm.
The SA range was for decades among the standard trucks of the Finnish armed forces, with the 4x4 and 6x6 configurations for differing payload and terrain requirements, and alongside Sisu's civilian production shaped Finland's military vehicle procurement.
On a used Sisu SA, rust on the frame and axle housings, the condition of the six-cylinder engine and the transfer cases, the function of the differential locks on the 6x6 versions, and the availability of military-specific spare parts all count; these run mainly through Sisu Auto and specialist Finnish military-vehicle workshops.
