The TS H H270 is driven by a six-cylinder engine of 10,837 cc displacement. At a length of 8,370 mm and a width of 2,550 mm, the vehicle rides on six wheels and a wheelbase of 5,070 mm; kerb weight is 14,830 kg.
At a gross vehicle weight of 27,000 kg the TS H H270 falls into EU class N3 above 12 t, for which a top speed of 90 km/h applies across the EU. Kerb weight and gross weight differ by 12,170 kg, a margin typical of security bodywork such as armoured cabs or cash-transport containers, since such bodies are themselves considerably heavier than an ordinary load bed, and the running gear underneath has to be rated for that extra mass from the outset.
Buying such a heavy security vehicle second-hand starts with checking whether the chassis and brakes remain adequately sized for the actual weight of the security body, since later armouring can significantly raise the gross weight. The six-cylinder engine with its 10.8-litre displacement calls for a check of the turbocharger and cooling system, and the suspension should be checked for unusual wear caused by the substantial extra weight of the security fittings, together with the wheel bearings, which carry that same extra load on every axle.
