Multipurpose all-terrain vehicle "Krechet"
The development of remote areas of the country is associated with the need for off-road movement and difficult landscapes. To do this, pioneers and professionals working in such difficult conditions need equipment with the appropriate characteristics of maneuverability. In recent years, Russian enterprises have created a large number of diverse all-terrain vehicles for one purpose or another. One of the latest developments in this area is the wheeled machine "Krechet".
On the existence of the machine "Krechet" 5 March reported news agency "Weapon Of Russia. " The online edition published a photo report showing the capabilities of the machine in overcoming difficult tracks, and also announced its main characteristics. In addition, the authors of the publication briefly described the main features of the prospective sample and raised the issue of its prospects in the light of the current state of affairs with other developments in this area.
"Krechet" on trial
According to the Russian Weapons news agency, the project of the two-axle all-wheel-drive multipurpose all-terrain vehicle Krechet was created by Techno Impulse. By now, it is claimed, this organization has managed to start production of such machines with two- and three-axle chassis. A characteristic feature of these projects is a flexible approach to the assembly of equipment. Regardless of the configuration chosen by the customer, the all-terrain vehicle is able to navigate off-road, including deep snow or marshland. It is possible to work at air temperatures from -50 ° C to + 50 ° C.
The attentive reader may have noticed that the new all-terrain vehicle “Krechet” strongly resembles the already well-known car of a similar purpose, presented a few years ago and which has already gone into series. Back in 2011, the Ekotrans Tyumen company introduced the new multi-purpose Petrovich all-terrain vehicles. Within the existing lineup, potential customers are offered three cars with different features. The main differences of the three “Petroviches” are in the design of the chassis and power plant.
According to the available data, the further development of one of the Petrovich family projects, carried out by specialists of development companies, has so far led to the emergence of a new model. Based on the developments on the biaxial "Petrovich", a new all-terrain vehicle "Krechet" was created. As follows from the published data, the new project retains all the positive features of the previous one, but at the same time it has some advantages of one character or another.
The all-terrain vehicle “Krechet” is a two-axle bonnet-free vehicle with a large cargo-passenger compartment, adapted to travel over rough terrain. All the features of the appearance of technology are associated with the need to increase maneuverability. In particular, the engine compartment is used in a central location, the design of which allowed the use of a flat bottom with a relatively large ground clearance. Other means of increasing the permeability in the form of a suspension of the required design or the possibility of pressure changes in tires are also provided.
The basis of the “Krechet” design is the supporting frame assembled from metal pipes and profiles. All other units are installed on it, from the chassis to the cargo and passenger cabin. From the previous types of equipment, the new all-terrain vehicle “inherited” a body-van of a recognizable shape with a developed glazing and large enough volumes to accommodate passengers and cargo. A characteristic feature of the body is to use only straight panels of one form or another. Rounded parts that are more complex manufacturing, do not apply.
The body is built on the bonded design, but in its front part there is a projection of a small width necessary for the installation of lighting equipment. Behind it is a large glazing that provides the driver with a good view. The project provides for the use of a large oblique glass and two side windows placed at an angle to the axis of the machine. Thanks to this, the driver can control almost the entire front hemisphere. On top of the driver protects the sloping roof.
Behind the frontal glazing are mounted side of the hull, consisting of several main parts. The lower side plates are installed with a slight collapse outward, and the upper slightly tilted inward. In front of the boards, directly behind the glazing, there are side doors. The casing is closed from above with a curved roof, from the back - with a vertical sheet with an opening under the door. In front of the roof, just behind the driver’s seat, there is a hatch.
As with the driver, passengers can observe the terrain with several windows. A pair of glazing openings is available in the side doors. Two more smaller windows are provided in the stern of the body. The back door also has its own window. The glazing of all the side and rear windows consists of two sheets, one of which is installed movably, which allows to air habitable compartments.
In the central part of the body of the machine is placed the power unit type Hyundai D4BH. Its basis is a four-cylinder diesel engine with horsepower 80. The engine is connected to a five-speed manual gearbox. From the last torque is fed to the transfer case with a lowering differential. Also in the transmission there are axle locking and self-locking cross-axle differentials. The proposed transmission provides drive all available wheels. The vehicle is equipped with two fuel tanks with a capacity of 80 l.
All-terrain vehicle "Krechet" received an independent suspension of all four wheels, built on the basis of double wishbones and twin shock absorbers. Used disc brakes on all wheels, removed from the hubs. Wheel hubs are size 1300x700-21. The machine has an automatic tire inflation system with the ability to change pressure. This system is controlled from the driver’s workplace. Front wheels are driven. The steering system is equipped with a hydraulic booster.
Control station machines "Petrovich"
All machine controls are assembled at the driver’s workplace. The driver's seat fits in the front of the body and ensures comfortable work in various conditions. Directly in front of the driver are the instrument panel and the steering wheel. On the sides of the latter two additional panels with control and management devices are located. Control levers are located on racks to the right of the seat. The sides can be installed speakers audio systems. The driver's seat is located in the center of the front of the body with a slight shift to the left. This, in particular, facilitates landing. In addition, this arrangement allowed the installation of a small additional folding-design seat to the right of the driver. Access to the driver's seat is provided by the side doors.
The presented prototype of the Krechet car, as published photographs show, has a cargo-passenger compartment of a relatively simple configuration. On the casing of the engine compartment, located inside the cabin, it is proposed to install a sofa with soft upholstery. Two more such devices should be placed along the sides. In this case, the seats of the onboard seats are mounted hingedly: their lifting allows freeing up space for cargo. Behind the side seats provides for the installation of lightweight shelving for the transport of small loads. Access to the rear cabin volume is provided by the aft door.
According to available data, all-terrain vehicles of the Petrovich family and the new Krechet are distinguished by the possibility of choosing the complete set of the habitable compartment. Depending on the wishes and financial capabilities of the customer, the all-terrain vehicle may receive certain seats, means of transportation of goods, etc. The project provides for the use of heaters (standard and additional), insulation boards, etc. It is also possible to install audio equipment or some of the tools necessary for its subsequent installation.
Passenger cabin "Petrovich". "Krechet" can receive similar units
The length of the Krechet all-terrain vehicle is only 4,89 m, width is 2,69 m, height is 2,49 m. At the same time, clearance 600 mm and angles of entry / exit along 52 ° were obtained. Curb weight does not exceed 800-850 kg, full - less than 2 tons. At the same time, the car can take on the driver and up to six passengers or an equivalent weight.
The exact characteristics of the “Krechet” have not yet been announced, but there is reason to believe that, in terms of mobility, this car is not very different from the four-wheel all-terrain vehicle “Petrovich 204-60”. Having similar dimensions, weight and engine power, the latter is able to accelerate on the highway to 50 km / h. The sealed hull allows the “Petrovich” to float. Cranking the wheels allows overclocking to 5 km / h.
As follows from the available data, at least one prototype of a new type of all-terrain vehicle has been built to date. Now this technique is being tested, and also becoming the “hero” of new publications in the press. After completion of all necessary checks, new equipment can be presented to potential buyers.
Large wheels with the ability to change pressure, as well as a relatively high power supply, give the new Krechet all-terrain vehicle very remarkable characteristics. Multipurpose machine is able to move in various rugged areas, as well as on surfaces with a weak bearing capacity. Declared (and confirmed by photographic materials) the possibility of movement in deep snow. Also, swamps, sands, and other specific surfaces may become expensive for the “Krechet”.
In the proposed set of equipment can be used to transport people and goods. In combination with the parameters of patency available capacity allows the use of "Krechet" in various works in remote areas. For example, a machine can solve the tasks of delivering specialists and their equipment to remote sites in difficult conditions, precluding the use of other equipment. Such opportunities may be of interest to various public and private structures operating in remote areas without a developed road network. The possibility of building an all-terrain vehicle with the required equipment may be an additional advantage that can affect the customer's decision.
Having quite interesting characteristics, the newest domestic all-terrain vehicle "Krechet" can be the subject of new contracts for the supply of special equipment to one or another customers. In this case, another argument in favor of such a machine can be the success of its predecessors. So, all-terrain vehicles of the Petrovich family have already managed to enter mass production in the interests of various customers. Serial machines are used in various fields. For example, it is known that several such machines were used in the course of search operations for astronauts who returned to Earth.
Information about the new domestic project appeared only a few days ago. In this regard, potential buyers of the all-terrain vehicle while simply could not make the right choice. Therefore, in the near future we should not expect information on orders for such equipment. Nevertheless, as follows from the characteristics of the machine, its capabilities and the success of the previous development, the new "Krechet" has every chance to go into the series and enter service.
