The uncompromising Torsus Praetorian has been awarded a prestigious Red Dot Award in the Product Design 2020 category, for its outstanding design quality.

Torsus, in partnership with Werkemotion – an independent award-winning transportation and industrial design studio – designed the Torsus Praetorian, the world’s first heavy-duty 4×4 off-road bus. Designed to transport personnel and equipment safely across the world’s harshest environments, the bus is based on an upgraded heavy-duty MAN chassis and is powered by MAN engines and drivetrain.
