The Type 10 MBT can be deployed on the battlefield via train or truck. The tank can climb up to 60% gradient, move on a 30% side slope, cross a trench of a maximum of 2,7m, and vertical obstacle of 1m. The Type 10 MBT can run at a maximum speed of 70 km/h and thanks to the CVT gearbox, it can run just as fast backward, as it does forwards, allowing rapid changes of positions. The suspension can be also adjusted on the left or right and front or rear. As the Type 74 and Type 90 MBT, Type 10 is also fitted with a Hydropneumatic Active Suspension which allows the driver to lower and raised the overall height of the vehicle to suit the tactical situation. The suspension consists on each side of five road wheels, a drive sprocket at the rear, and the idler at the front. The Type 10 MBT is powered by a water-cooled, four-stroke, eight-cylinder diesel engine producing 1200 hp at 2,300 rpm developed by Mitsubishi and coupled with an MT1200 continuously variable transmission (CVT) gearbox.
