There’s an invisible force that helped move the metropolis.
During the years of major urban expansion, ASTRA vehicles took the front line in the excavation works for Line 2 (Green) of the Milan Metro. It wasn’t a job for everyone. It required power to move tons of earth from city construction sites, reliability, and extreme toughness to operate in tight spaces and challenging conditions.

From the foundations of our cities to the most extreme challenges in deserts and mines around the world, ASTRA’s DNA belongs to those who never stop in the face of the impossible.

The year was 1965. Our original home in Via Millo was becoming too small for an ambition that was growing at full throttle. We needed a wider horizon, and we found it right here, in Via Caorsana. 📍

With that first 140,000-square-meter expansion, our history shifted into high gear:

- The legendary M.47 tanks were the first to rumble across these new floors.
- We built the Iconic "Pistino": a dedicated testing track to push every vehicle to its absolute limit.
- By the late '60s, our production expanded, bringing Astra’s signature ruggedness to construction sites and terrains worldwide.

Today, in 2026, our heart still beats at this very address.
We have changed, evolved, and embraced the most advanced technologies, but the ground beneath our wheels is the same that saw the birth of the giants of the past.

In an era of unprecedented transformation, simple trucks weren’t enough. The world needed giants capable of tackling tunnels, mud, and impossible gradients. ASTRA was there, answering the call of a nation racing toward the future.

Straight from our archives, the icons of that decade come back to life:
- BM 22A: Hard at work on motorway construction sites in the early 1960s.
- BM 12: From the drafting board to self-propelled cranes, all the way to the heart of Milan’s urban expansion.
- BM 16: On the front line of the A10 Genoa-Ventimiglia project, where rock meets the sea.

We didn’t just transport materials; we transported progress. Then as now, Astra’s DNA remains the same: pure power, extreme engineering, and the resilience of those who never back down.
