Special vehicles, such as armoured fighting vehicles, cannot be tested and developed on normal, built-in testbed, as their weight, dimensions and design do not always allow this. For such cases, the German company Lauster has built a world unique mobile measuring laboratory, the Lauster MF 60, which can and will be used for testing and dynamic measurements of tanks and any other heavy or awkward vehicles. The aim of this article is to present the special vehicles of the Lauster company and one of their unique products, the MF 60 measuring vehicle, its construction and technical characteristics.
