Ashok Leyland FAT 6x6

When a 4x4 isn’t enough, you get behind the wheel of a 6x6.

Ashok Leyland FAT 6x6

AS evo INDIA'S resident off-road junkie, I have stood toe to toe with some of the biggest and most badass 4x4s that you can think of. But it seems I have met my match. Staring at the Ashok Leyland FAT – short for Field Artillery Tractor – I feel dwarfed. Just to get into the driver’s seat I have to climb two feet!

Built specifically for the Indian armed forces, the FAT is intended to replace the company’s Stallion that is currently in active service. The FAT not only resolves on-ground mobility requirements but also serves as a special role vehicle. It has three axles with drive going to all six wheels. You heard right, this is a 6x6. The engine is not at the front and the driver sits just behind the grille, which means he has a fabulous and commanding view of everything ahead.
