This 4 x 4 truck already mass-produced was developed to cater for the specific needs of armed forces in the logistics field. The TC 54 offers the best payload / empty weight ratio in this vehicle category. In fact, its 6-tons military payload is greater than its empty weight of 4,4 tons. This technical feature, achieved by means of innovative architecture, provides users with significant savings throughout the vehicle's service life along with enhanced operational capacity. The TC 54 can be supplied in a variety of versions for use as a command vehicle or shelter carrier, and for supply and troop carrying missions.

The TC 54 is a sturdy vehicle that copes extremely well with off-road conditions and is very well suited to missions in desert regions where force's various units are often disseminated. It was tested in extreme conditions in Saudi Arabia. This truck has aroused the interest of the armed forces in many different countries. Togo, for example, acquired 80 of these vehicles to deploy its units engaged as part of the UN force in East Chad. 

An armoured cab providing NATO STANAG level 2 protection for the vehicle's crew has been developed in response to the need for protection in operations where logistic lines are threatened. Remote-operated WASP weaponry  can be installed on this armoured cab for self-defence purpose. The architecture of the TC 54 is designed to satisfy a wide range of logistic requirements while ensuring optimal tactical mobility.
