Minsk Wheel Tractor Plant presented an updated model of MZKT-742960

The Minsk Wheel Tractor Plant JSC, which manufactures products under the Volat brand, presented the updated MZKT-742960 truck tractor with the wheel formula 8х8, designed to transport various large-sized heavy goods as part of a full-body train up to 130 tons, reports the Center for Strategy Analysis and technologies with reference to the portal "ABW.by".

The upgraded SUV has received an upgraded frame-panel cab made of metal with a two-row layout, which comfortably accommodates up to 7 people, including the driver. The standard set of equipment includes two beds, heating and ventilation systems, air conditioning. Another advantage of the new cabin is the ability to install protective armor plates.

All this is good, but, - the engine and gearbox are AGAIN ...
When will we and the Belarus brothers get rid of our dependence on the most important Western components? Indeed, if the sanctions are continued and strengthened, they can easily cut off the supply of critical components and parts. What to do then? A good technique in principle will turn into a pile of iron. When they already begin to produce ALL the most important components and parts at such a level that we are completely independent from the West in the production of military equipment!

[Tor5]

Can’t we create our own engines and boxes?

[sq]

We create, but quality .....

[Amurets]

There are engines and boxes, but as far as I remember from the magazine "Truck-Press" Volats did not enter our army, I saw them as tractors when they were transporting Saudi tanks, as dump trucks at a construction site, but as military vehicles they never introduced themselves. Most likely this is an attempt to load the enterprise with civilian products in order to save the plant.

That's right!
Both engines and gearboxes are Russian, but in this case, an attempt to make goods for export.
And this is hardly a successful business, since an imported power unit is not cheap, and the purchase of such cars is a highly politicized business.
The production of heavy wheeled tractors in Minsk is a Soviet military project, and serious military productions do not like "independent" ones, and even with a race like Lukashenka's ...
I remember how he, unhappy with the price of YaMZ diesel engines, said that, they say, diesel engines and gearboxes, too, can be purchased, for example, in Detroit.
For some reason, it did not reach him the first time that consumers of MAZ products also have a lot to buy tractors.

[Starina_hank]

I'll tell you a secret, this is the last factory that produces heavy wheeled tractors in the territory of the former USSR! We can criticize the Old Man in every possible way, but we pissed off our factory!

[rotfuks]

two weeks ago in the news on the box showed the same trucks based on KAMAZ

Volat and missile carriers are different levels of technology. Similar machines are usually piece goods that are equipped for specific operating conditions. Look at how a heavy truck is completed for truckers and you will understand how such machines are assembled abroad. This is a designer from ready-made units and assemblies. If for rocket carriers select the best, then they try to bet on the citizen which is cheaper. This is where our auto industry loses because until the 90s it was spoiled by the lack of competition. Take that there is all the competition.

[Juborg]

Yes, it’s impossible to deal with the Germans today, they froze our engines on ships, and not only on the military, but also on civilian ships, by designating them as dual-use products. A kind of press and a press for stamping spoons can be equated to this, a Russian or Belarusian soldier can use a spoon.

Bulbash fellows Hold on to the market with teeth

useful tractor, only here the diesel and gearbox are imported .. domestic is necessary .. the degree of sanction will apply and kirdyk ..

[Maksus]

Question to the experts: are gearboxes being manufactured here? If so, where and which ones.

[Samy]

Automatic transmissions of this moment are not produced at our place. We generally do not do any hydromechanical transmissions. Once they did and put it on LiAZ-699, (passenger Seagulls-Zils do not count). BelAZ makes small pits, and electric transmissions are large there. By the way, it’s not clear why it is impossible to make an analog of a torque converter for such a tractor with a 30-50 toner quarry.

Sizes, probably?

[Samy]

There is enough space on this tractor for such a transmission. Probably, they cannot do a technologically reliable multistage transmission. And "Allison" is a proven reliable transmission, even installed on tanks.

[roadsmell]

/// Here, by the way, it is not clear why it is impossible to make an analog of a torque converter for such a tractor with a 30-50 toner quarry. ////

No need to reinvent the wheel: it is already invented: MZKT-79221; 600201.

Transmission MAZ-543, the very tractor on which the rockets carry hydromechanical transmission and planetary gearbox. True, the gears in the three-speed gearbox are included in the manual, but this is just a simplification, most likely due to the fact that this is a huge but SUV.
That's it.
And also a gas turbine engine on a T-330, BMP-3 tractor and some other equipment.
So, about "do not do" it you hurried!

[roadsmell]

All MAZs and MZKT were produced at MKPP and AKPP own, Belarusian production.

In Russia, automatic transmissions and manual transmissions are produced and installed on all types of BT.

If this tractor is "sharpened" for off-road - any of the manufactured gearboxes could take root on it.
(He, in this case, does not care about tolerances and norms)

Well, for roads - Nafik such a machine is not needed. Modular trawls, a tractor and a pusher are capable of transporting up to 1500 tons of cargo.

It remains for the Ukrainians to find only grandmothers for something more than armored tarantas. And in the Russian Federation this pepelats will not be needed, there will already be enough Kamaz trucks for the creation of Sarmatians. Moreover, with a box from benzo and an engine from Allison, which in the Russian Federation are nowhere to be serviced and they are not produced. If the tractor was created for the Russian Federation, there would be an engine of the YaMZ type or another that is produced in the Russian Federation with the same gearbox, as well as an "independent" device for daddy for whatever ...

[Mama_Cholli]

On such tractors it is possible to comfortably crew the crew and without spoil the good asphalt of European roads, for example, deliver armata to the English Channel.

[Zaurbek]

It is politically correct to carry on Kamaz trucks, as the "platform" will be completed, we will supply the engine and gearbox ourselves. And then Old Man, then he allows the construction of an air base, then he does not. Gnarled tractor. they need a designer at MAZ.

[Mama_Cholli]

If the car is really good for its niche and at the same time cheaper, then it is politically correct to carry it on them, so that strangers would not carry it. Lowered clearance gives the appearance of the car a certain sportiness, but in this case it is bad manners ...

It is not politically correct, as it will show our dependence on MAZA. Moreover, this fact can blackmail us. I believe that we need to develop our own production, and not someone else's (politics is such a fickle and changeable thing), so that later we do not bite our elbows from "sanctions". And I will add that this is the development of our factories and personnel, as well as tax deductions and salaries for our specialists.

[Rokossovsky]

People! Please explain why such a long name - 742960? I did not find any connection between these figures and the characteristics of the tractor! What's the catch? Belarusians are so fond of?

[roadsmell]

Title 742960
the first figure - load capacity from 30 to 40tn
the second digit is a 4-truck tractor. (3 - onboard, 5 - dump truck, etc.)
all other numbers are manufacturer’s internal indices.

in that tractor from the Belarusian only the body and the filling is all imported.
In general, the Minsk Wheel Tractor Plant without orders from Russia would have long been bent.

Well, there seems to be a "Kamaz" stirred with three samples. I think an option

pretty close.

And where is the crew resting? There is no sleep.

[roskot]

I understand that it was made under our technique. And what about KAMAZ platforms? Will we deliver to Belarus?

[Wolka]

But earlier something similar was produced by the KZKT ...

[zadorin1974]

In our office, when the last "Volat" was written off, RMM was fermented for a week for joy. We got rid of them ahead of time. The departure of this road train was accompanied by a technician with a team of minders and a "mistress" with a spare engine. that did not fall into the size.

Well, where they drove, what drove. I think it is unnecessary to clarify. not our business. But what is the fauna, please clarify.

[Samy]

Faun is a German ballast tractor for the transportation of oversized and super heavy loads. "Volat" is a trade mark of MZKT. Faunas are extremely reliable and durable, we knew such.

Clear! We also had problems with the 800th series, while either the diesels began to make better or learned to operate, and they stood on bulldozers. The relatives on Komatsu were too expensive, dealers 2-3 prices, so they started to put YaMZ.

I don’t know what you are unhappy with, but your agricultural machinery is valued in the Amur Region. And our men who served on your missile carriers have a very good opinion. It’s a pity that these Gorbachev missiles understood what they did. And they had routes of two thousand kilometers each side.

Quote: roskot

And what about KAMAZ platforms?

to supply the Russian army. To do this, it’s enough to use a separate workshop, expanding it depending on requests and not build a huge new plant. This is the advantage of the new production over the old (the new is built on demand and the old is forced to look for markets for products already released)

[Zaurbek]

When Kamaz will be delivered, then Mazy will be cheaper. The same fate awaits and civilian Mazy. And then I listened to the Old Man interview. And they will not sell, and they do it best of all. And the sales market is Russia, 90%. And our engines.

[Redman]

We ourselves need everything we can do. They feed Kamchatka with Belarusian sprats already. Muck is still that ...

It’s even interesting, I’ve never tried our sprats. In our stores only the Baltic.

At one time, Batska refused to the representatives of the Russian car industry in the modernization and purchase of the MZKT, and provided this as the care and strong understanding of the business executive. Uh-huh. Now MZKT products are confidently losing customers, including the main one. The production process itself is a real UG sample of the 50s. But its own! And there is no need for patriotism - having bought out the LET plant in the Czech Republic, the Russian capitalists have solved the problem of local employment and saturation of their regions with MVL planes. (and it is not necessary about the innocently killed "Rysachka" - the elk is really more convenient for MVL) So it is with tractors, they could, but ... And now it is not a problem for Russia, what to do with the ancient, like a mammoth threshing floor, and foreign vehicles. And if MZKT repeats the path of KrAZ, I will not be surprised.

This "stirring" may last for several decades - there is no experience, a design school for the design and construction of such vehicles at KAMAZ. Plus the lack of technology. When MZKT sold the license for the production of one of its cars to the Chinese, they crap. I heard that they are still buying one of the units ready-made from the MZKT - they themselves cannot manufacture it technologically.

Politically? This is the army and combat operating conditions - well, put your nuclear missiles on an unverified carrier - take a chance. And most importantly, why? Because of ambition and arrogance?

Quote: Zaurbek

Well, yes, no doubt, it would probably be nice, maybe. But such a word as functionalism and such a concept as extreme operating conditions do not say anything to you.

Today you don’t understand where you will go tomorrow. And even though you are not Ukraine, we have been taught bitter experience, and therefore we must trust our own ... my hand. You may be offended to hear this, but in serious matters the Republic of Belarus prefers to sit aside and is not in a hurry with support. South Ossetia with Abkhazia, and in the Ukrainian events - you somehow at the political level are not particularly in a hurry to put your shoulder. But to hit the jackpot on Polish apples under your label, you're right there. And the story with sprats - where do you catch them? In the Dnieper near Mogilev, or on the Berezin? Allies, damn it ...

Well, first of all, you are completely wrong about Belarus, she did not betray anyone or anything, I mean the people. Do not confuse a pointer with a finger. Ukraine, artificial education from three different regions, with different mentality, with a different culture and different a way of life that cannot get along in one common house. Now, about the MKZT specifically, please twist, but who destroyed and ruined a similar plant in Kurgan? Answer, without bending your heart, what will we do if we lose this plant? KAMAZ? Yes, while this KAMAZ is brought to mind, they will ruin a lot of money and time. On KAMAZ, the unfortunate ZIL-170 was brought to its present state by the largest factories in Europe, then the famous KAMAZ appeared. ditched and we were left on the territory of Russia without a similar plant. Is it that the father bankrupt and razed him? No, our leaders are in Russia, and Father, realizing the uniqueness of such a plant, is trying to keep his own. For Russia, by the way.

Lukashenko is a fan of his people. It is necessary to unite with Belarus and elect a common president. Most Russians will vote for the Old Man. And the fact that he did not let his enterprises sell out and he kept them well done.

And you yourself try to break the template. And instead of the word soyuznichki, imagine that we are the same Russians. Only separated from Great Russia for political reasons. Then a lot will become clear to you. Or are you Russians planning to collect all your lands with the help of "little green men"? Introducing us Belarusians as another nation, you are already making a big mistake. And about Lukashenka - well, for whom should the President of the Republic of Belarus look after?
