DAC 665 is a family of military trucks designed for traction and transport, manufactured by the Intreprinderea Autocamioane Brasov - Roman S.A. in the 1980s. It was produced in multiple versions and exported to Hungary, Egypt, Iraq, and Cuba. The DAC 665T variant was designed for towing artillery pieces and transporting troops and materials. The DAC 665G variant was used to transport pontoons from the bridge parks of the Romanian Army. Both versions featured 6×6 all-wheel drive. The chassis of these trucks served as the foundation for several specialized vehicles.

History

In the early 1970s, the production of DAC and ROMAN trucks began in Romania. The Romanian Army considered acquiring the ROMAN 12.135DF model. However, it did not meet all military requirements and was not approved. The Brașov Truck Plant developed two new models, the DAC 665T and DAC 444T, to be purchased by the military. In 1985, an improved version called the DAC 665T Modernized, Model 1985 entered production. These improvements were also applied to the DAC 444T model in 1986.
