Standard is the 16-speed gearbox ZF, manual or automatic. The auxiliary transmission is of Tatra's own construction. The vehicle is built on the Tatra-concept chassis. Angle of approach is at 31°, this is one of the best values of the approach angle among off-road all-wheel drive trucks. The Tatra Phoenix won second place in the European Truck of the Year 2012 competition. At Silva Regina 2012 exhibit in Brno has been awarded by the “Extraordinary Award of the CEO and Jury". The first Tatra Phoenix Euro VI vehicles appeared in operation in early 2015.
