Model Details

Add authentic fuel distribution traffic to your HO scale model railway with the Viessmann 8132 CarMotion Magirus Deutz ARAL Tanker Truck. Finished in the iconic ARAL livery, this highly detailed functional model is based on the classic Magirus Deutz 230 D 16 tanker and is ideal for fuel depots, oil terminals, industrial facilities, service stations, freight yards, and road-to-rail logistics scenes. Its distinctive tanker body and period-correct branding make it a standout addition to both historic and modern layouts.

Part of the innovative CarMotion range, this self-propelled HO scale vehicle combines realistic driving behaviour with advanced infrared control technology. The underfloor drive system preserves the model's detailed appearance while delivering smooth and reliable operation. Featuring realistic acceleration and braking characteristics, configurable speed settings, and a comprehensive lighting package, this tanker truck brings dynamic movement and operational realism to any layout

The model is equipped with a rechargeable lithium-polymer battery providing approximately 4–6 hours of operation during normal running conditions and around 2 hours at maximum speed. Additional functions include cab lighting, brake lights, reversing lights, indicators, hazard warning lights, dipped and main beam headlights, and a visible driver figure. A 5-pole plug-in coupling allows connection to compatible CarMotion trailers and semi-trailers. The vehicle is compatible with magnetic tape guidance, contact wire systems, permanent magnets, electromagnetic stop coils, infrared control, and the CarMotion remote-control system. An optional sound upgrade is available using sound module 8452.
