Tatra instrument panel

Question for Tatra owners, I noticed this gauge in one of the youtube videos and am wondering if it's the tire pressure gauge (CTIS), anybody know?
If so, is it graduated in BAR, thanks.

It's like a "tank on wheels".

I love the part when they are testing the fording equipment. They go in water so deep you can only see their heads and the intake/exhaust. I wish someone would post a higher quality version of that video.

Yes you are correct you can tell how much you are airing up a tire or taking air out.
I think you are starting to fall for these trucks

Bjorn, put the magnifying glass down and step away from the computer.

Tom, maybe I should, but that's just not gonna happen, having to much fun exploring this "new" truck with actual owners on the forum.

In the video, the pressure dropped 10 to 15 psi in only a couple of seconds (based on bar calibration, 1 bar=14.7 psi) and I was just curious about the plumbing to accomplish that.
You'd need one heck of a compressor to inflate eight 16R20 tires at that rate, though....

I was fortunate enough to get a nice ride in a 5 axle HEMTT M1075 and air down was pretty rapid with that too. You felt the truck sink. Pretty cool. Oh, keep in mind that it's not just letting out air, it's letting out air that WANTS to get out having the weight of the truck on it to help too.
