  50km/h capped.
  
  If the emergency key is insert and turned, 100km/h. (written on dash board)
  
  If odometer down... limitless... (tested)

  The new five tons are electronically limited to 50, so not too much chance of that happening.

  if that is found out by MP or during LRI, both the maintainance unit and transport unit will be in deep shit

  At 50km/h, I'm already nervous driving next to one. Esp. the add-on armour ones, with the front cab & rear cargo cabin all steel-reinforced -- by all appearances IFV-like except it's wheel-based & only designated for OOTW (Operations Other than War) usage.
  
  All the SAF tonners are supposed to move via convoy anyway &, when on ops missions, are to stop & wait by the roadside if they break contact with those lagging behind or are momentarily stopped by traffic lights.

  but those machines have very powerful engines....when electronic limiter is off, it really flies...100km/h no problem at all.

  the specs call for 110km/h. the speedo shld be max 120km/h. go figure.

  My company lorry top speed ( wif speed limiter install ) at 60kph. I can still see 5 tonners overtake me on my right. I guess they are travelling at 65kph or 68kph.

  Most of the time this is due to the electrical component or speedo starting to fail or failed. Most of the 5 tons electrical components are starting to breakdown these days and will needs to be changed. Transport units will never report if their 5 ton can speed and only leave for us to discover during our inspection.
