Torsus, a company specializing in producing robust buses designed for off-road transportation in places such as rock quarries, has announced a partnership with MAN Truck & Bus. Together, they will develop the body structure for the Torsus Praetorian. To showcase the manufacturing process, the companies have released a video (shown above) featuring the assembly procedure carried out at the Starachowice plant in Poland.

MAN is responsible for assembling the body structure of the Praetorian, which comprises 780 components that, when combined, span a total length of 895.7 feet (273 meters). The construction incorporates 2,606 pounds (1,182 kilograms) of steel and 773.8 pounds (351 kilograms) of sheet metal parts. Once the individual pieces have been welded together, a three-stage coating process is implemented to provide corrosion protection.
