Regarding LAUSTER Truck LT 40-FML (1969):
That vehicle was a functional model/demonstrator of the LAUSTER AXLE (FML= Funktionsmodell LAUSTER Achse). Designed for working as a tractor (Zugmaschine) and wrecker for the German Leopard I tank. So it was everything else than a dumper. It fullfilled it´s objectives by exceeding all the specifications. More than 40 pieces of LAUSTER LT40 where discussed to be ordered. The LT40 had a weight of about 40 tons and was capable to wreck two Leopard 1 tanks with blocked chains and even reverse running chains (traction force of more than 530 kN). The propulsion system was Diesel Electric (Serial Hybrid drive) with a total of 630 bhp with stepless traction control without gear shift (Sub-supplier of LAUSTER for the power electric parts was the SIEMENS Locomotive segment). The next generaton of propulsion system with intense oil cooled DC motors was already developped in collaboration with the university of Stuttgart. The reason for not further developping the LT40 was the next generation of German combat vehicles: the Leopard II was planned to be not in need of such wrecker vehicle due to improved off road capabilities.
