Sisu KB-45 is a light off-road lorry made by the Finnish heavy vehicle producer Suomen Autoteollisuus (SAT) in 1965–1970. The two-axle, all-wheel-drive vehicle[2] with payload of 4,000 kg[3] was developed after an assignment of the Finnish Defence Forces. It was followed by almost identical A-45/AH-45 in 1970.[2]
