Since it starts in 1998 , The TAS5380 is the 20t-capacity, 8X8 heavy duty vehicle developed by Taian Special Vehicle Manufactory in the early 1980s as the transporter-erector-launcher (TEL) vehicle of the DF-15 (CSS-6) short-range ballistic missile (SRBM) system. Over the years Taian has developed a number of variants for different weapon systems. The vehicle was also prompted in the civil truck market as special purpose and heavy duty truck. The TAS5380 is powered by an air-cooled diesel engine.

The latter is described as having a maximum weight of 122 tons and a payload capability of 80 tons. The WS2600 has advanced features, such as: a divided axle with differential gears to assist of road movement; a central tire inflation system; a hydro pneumatic suspension to handle sensitive payloads; and the ability to pivot wheels in the front and back to assist steering. The brochure posted on the FYJS page makes clear that Sanjiang has a close relationship with the Minsk Automobile Plant (MAZ) in Belarus, a pioneer in the design and manufacture of large vehicles for the transport of ballistic missiles. This relationship started in 1998, and technology transfers allowed Sanjiang to begin producing MAZ-based TELs in 2003. While the WS2600 can be considered a Chinese product it is clear that it has benefitted from MAZ TEL technology developed originally for large Soviet/Russian ICBMs.
