History

Sisu established in 1931 and their first production was a 3-tonner with a gasoline powered engine.
1943 because of Finnish governments nationalization plan Sisu merged with Vanaja and formed Vanajan Autotehdas Oy. Their product range changed and the company concentrated on producing military vehicles.
in 1948, Sisu and Vanaja separated and formed independent companies.

Sisu Trucks built in this era ran on wood gas and Sisu did not switch to diesel fuel before mid 1950s and the choice was 8.7 litre, 140hp engine that powered new 13 tonne trucks.

Late 1950s Sisu's engine choice was Leyland Motors`s diesel. Its range increased to 20 tonnes, with electro-hydraulic lifting devices on the trailing axle to transfer weight on to the drive axle. This system also became a universal feature of Nordic countries Six-wheel drive and was widely adopted in many other countries.
In the mid 1960s, tilt-cab forward-control trucks appeared and in 1966 normal-control models were restyled using fibreglass hoods. The K normal-control models covered 16-tonne 4x2 and 4x4 up to 24-tonne 6x2 and 6x4, while there were two KB cabover models - a 4x2 tractor and a 6x2, both for gcws of 38- to 45-tonnes. A lighter-bonneted range, the U models, covered the 15- to 22-tonnes gross bracket.

In 1967 Sisu took over Vanaja, reuniting the two manufacturers that had split up 20 years earlier.
By the early 1970s a complete range of 14 heavy trucks, in normal and forward control, was available, plus "half-cab" terminal tractors for yard shunting.
The largest truck built by Sisu was a 180-tonne hooded 6x6.
During the 1970s Leyland Motors and Rolls-Royce Motors were main engine choices.
The M-series appeared in 1971 with a new design of forward-control tilt cab.
New M-series design later used on Dennison trucks in Ireland.
In 1974 ownership of Sisu had returned to Finnish state ownership and Leyland and Rolls Royce engines were phased out in favour of Cummins engines.
In 1976 Leyland Motors and Saab-Scania both had a 10 percent stake in Sisu with tri-partite agreement.
Mid 1980s New SR series and forward-control SM series appeared.
During 1990s Sisu offered a wide range of multi-axle trucks, including 8x2, 8x4 and 10x4 with gtws up to 60 tonnes and Cummins became the main choice of engine for new Mil and the E14.
In 1997 Renault acquired 50% of Sisu Auto and started to co-develop Sisu and Renault Trucks. Subsequently Sisu updated their forward-control cab by using the new Renault Trucks Premium cab in place of the SM.
2000 Sisu Auto purchased back the company shares from Renault but continued alliance with Renault Trucks.
Sisu E18 modell equipped with a 18-litre 630 hp Caterpillar Inc. engine.

Factory Racing Sisu Racing operated from 1989 to 1995Factory team winning three European championships in 1991 - 1993The team manager was Timo Korhonen
