An Entity of Type : owl:Thing, within Data Space : 134.155.108.49:8890 associated with source dataset(s)

It is almost a trademark design feature of Czech Tatra heavy trucks (cross-country, military etc.) - Hans Ledwinka developed this style of chassis for Tatra 11 in 1923 with the model Tatra 11. He further enhanced the design with 6x4 model Tatra 26 which had excellent offroad abilities. This type of chassis is also often found on some sports cars. It also does not provide protection against side collisions, and has to be combined with a body that would compensate for this shortcoming.

It also does not provide protection against side collisions, and has to be combined with a body that would compensate for this shortcoming. Examples of cars using a backbone chassis include DeLorean DMC-12, Lloyd 600, Lotus Elan, Lotus Esprit and Europa, Škoda 420 Popular, Tatra T-87, Tatra T111, Tatra T148, Tatra T815 etc., as well as TVR S1. Some cars also use a backbone as a part of the chassis to strengthen it; examples include the Volkswagen Beetle and the Locost where the transmission tunnel forms a backbone.
