The high degree of vehicle automation allows to minimize manual intervention when switching Stena to working or transportation modes.
The driver and the operator control the vehicle from a cabin protected by steel structures and a mesh. All control systems are located in the driver's cab. Remote operating console is also provided on the cable, so if necessary, the vehicle can be controlled from the outside of the cabin.
The crew consists of two people:
- crew commander – operator;
- driver.
The vehicle can be operated at the ambient temperature in range from minus 40°C to plus 40°C.
The vehicle can move with unfolded shield and change the geometry of the shield in motion. Special mounts redistribute shocks from the shield to the vehicle frame.
The vehicle is mounted on the KAMAZ-65201-3010-53 chassis and can move on its own on roads with asphaltic or enhanced pavement.
