HUZAR - mining versions - SWT-TEAM 20
These versions of the Huzar platform are intended for use in copper, zinc and lead mines
The vehicles were developed because of a request from Copper Mines KGHM „Polska Miedź” S.A., who needed new vehicles for transport functions in their mines.
There are around 20 units in permanent operation (changed every 4-5 years) used 600 - 1000 metres underground to convoy the miners (19 persons), transport explosives and other auxiliary materials.
For this conversion they used vehicles with 300 TDI engines, with a maximum speed limit of 45 km/h.
SWT-TEAM 20 has maximum total weight 5,200 kgs, 6x4 drive, very good traction and full compatibility regarding spare parts with factory made Land Rover models.
