The Italian TL series was replaced by the T5000 in the spring of 2008. The engines were now intercooled, and torque increase figures ranged from 29 to 40%. The oil change interval was as long as 600 hours. The lineup expanded upwards with the 113-horsepower T5070. A wide range of transmission options was available. The basic version still featured a 12+12 mechanical shuttle. In Finland, the basic transmission was equipped with a creeper gear, resulting in 20+12 gears. The standard transmission for the T5070 in Finland was a 20+20-speed Powershuttle, which included a hydraulic shuttle and a creeper gear. This version was also available worldwide without the creeper gear. The most advanced transmission was the 24+24 Dual Command with a 2-speed electro-hydraulic powershift and push-button control.

The front axle was new, and a 60-degree steering angle allowed for an even smaller turning radius. In Finland, the standard equipment was more basic than the specifications in Britain and Germany. Here, the lift capacity was only 4,450 kg, and rim tires, a 167-liter fuel tank, and an air seat were optional extras. The 5050 model had only 540 rpm PTO as standard. The PTO, four-wheel drive, and differential locks were engaged electro-hydraulically. The electro-hydraulic lift was an optional extra. The Dual Command model featured a trip computer.

The T5000 series met buyers’ needs better than its predecessors and became NH’s most popular model series in Finland.
