It`s a Chinese-made 3-wheeled trucklet which has been available in Brazil since 2004, rebadged as Gurgel TA-01 but it's not really related to the defunct Gurgel Motor Co., initially targetted to farmers and advertised as an "agricultural tricycle", but since 2005 they can be registered to be legally driven on-road.
It's rated at a 2645lbs payload and fitted with a single-cylinder 20hp 70cu.in. Diesel engine with an odd cooling setup: it's water-cooled, but doesn't have a radiator. The water is placed in a tank and goes evaporating thru the vehicle's operation. This engine picture was taken from another tricycle, but the engine is the very same one.
The transmission is a 4-speed manual transaxle, connected to the engine thru rubber belts.
