Sisu Perävaunun vetoajoneuvo (BD) – Finnish-registered Sisu tractor units for trailer operation: six-cylinder diesel of 10 to 15.6 litres, 185 to 460 kW, two-door cabs, up to 43.5 tonnes combination weight

This page gathers Sisu tractor units listed in the Finnish vehicle register under the Perävaunun vetoajoneuvo class – literally a vehicle for towing a trailer, i.e. a tractor unit for semi-trailer or drawbar-trailer combinations; the 2ov suffix marks the two-door cab, BD the vehicle class itself. As with the Sisu E13M range, the register carries the displacement of the respective engine as an identifier instead of proper model names. Sisu Auto builds these tractor units, like its other heavy chassis, in Kankaanpää for Finnish and Nordic heavy-haulage traffic, above all for hauling round timber and building materials in trailer combinations.

The register lists here 8 versions with 185 to 460 kW from six-cylinder diesels of 10,000 to 15,569 cm³, unladen weights from 11,500 to 17,400 kg, gross combination weights from 30,000 to 43,500 kg, lengths from 8,150 to 11,860 mm and widths from 2,470 to 2,800 mm.

Tractor units of this class in Finland mainly tow trailers for round timber, bulk material and construction machinery, where high engine power and a braking system designed for trailer combinations decide the permitted combination weight beyond 40 tonnes; Sisu competes here with the heavy tractor units of Scania and Volvo.

On used examples, operating hours and the engine's service history, the condition of the clutch and the trailer brake valve, rust on the frame and fifth wheel or trailer coupling, and the tyres on the heavy combinations count; parts run through the Sisu Auto network in Finland.
