In the Mid '80 we can see this rare combo, R600 with road train, GCVW ~ 90 ton

the reason was "mifalely Tovala" needed new trucks, there were no DM800 available in 1983, than came this R612SX.

with EE6 315 engine and 5 speed X 2 gearbox and dynatard engine brake that seems to push the the truck faster..

some drivers likes it because it was more quiet in the cabin and jumped less than the DM, mind you - no air suspension for Mack in

Israel.

Some drivers were crying for being too weak to go anywhere.

BTW the route was Dead sea to Eilat Port with some serious uphills i/ downhills in the way
