The Taian HTF5680A1 is a large transporter erector launcher with a 12x12 configuration. The vehicle comes in two primary variants. The conventional HTF5680 is a 12x12 flatbed vehicle for transport purposes. However, the most common and famous variant is the HTF5680A1 which carries ballistic missiles, most famously, the DF-26 intermediate-range ballistic missile.{{Cite web|url=http://www.military-today.com/trucks/taian_htf5680.htm|author=ARG|title=Taian HTF5680 - Special wheeled chassis|access-date=13 December 2017|archive-date=9 December 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171209221559if_/http://www.military-today.com/trucks/taian_htf5680.htm|url-status=usurped}}{{cite web|url=http://www.offroadvehicle.ru/AZBUCAR/Sinotruk/Taian%2012x12%20Chassis.html|website=offroadvehicle.ru|title=Sinotruk|access-date=13 December 2017}}{{cite web|url=http://www.australiandefence.com.au/news/china-prepares-to-show-off-arsenal-at-military-parade|title=China prepares to show off arsenal at military parade - Australian Defence Magazine|website=australiandefence.com.au|access-date=13 December 2017}}{{cite news |url=http://www.janes.com/article/53896/china-previews-new-ballistic-missiles-in-practices-for-3-september-parade |title=China previews new ballistic missiles in practices for 3 September parade |author=Richard D Fisher Jr, James Hardy |publisher=IHS |work=Jane's Defence Weekly |date=30 August 2015 |access-date=3 September 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160304083456/http://www.janes.com/article/53896/china-previews-new-ballistic-missiles-in-practices-for-3-september-parade |archive-date=4 March 2016}}
