Acmat TPK635TSR comes from the French manufacturer Acmat, based in Saint-Nazaire, which built off-road military and government vehicles such as the VLRA range, supplying armed forces and public agencies across several continents. The digits 635 in the type code match the roughly 6.35-litre engine displacement listed in the register. At 12,000 kg gross vehicle weight the vehicle reaches the upper limit of class N2.

The register lists a six-cylinder engine of 6,350 cm³ for this model. Kerb weight is 6,450 kg, gross vehicle weight 12,000 kg. The vehicle is 6,300 mm long, 2,350 mm wide, with a wheelbase of 4,450 mm.
As a heavy chassis for individual bodies, the Acmat TPK635TSR was built for ruggedness off-road rather than comfort or range on long highway hauls; depending on the order, such chassis carried flatbed, tanker or special bodies for military and government use. At 12,000 kg gross weight the vehicle sits right at the boundary with the heavy N3 class.
For a used example, check the chassis and axles for corrosion and wear from off-road use, the condition of the clutch and gearbox, brake system operation on both axles, and the tightness of the transfer case and axle differentials. Parts for this specialised chassis are usually only available through a small number of workshops that specialise in Acmat vehicles.
