The 5430 mm long truck is offered in two registered configurations, both sharing the same mechanical heart. In one version the gross vehicle weight sits at 2490 kg, and in the other at 3490 kg. Technically, there are no differences between them beyond the rated payload. What changes on paper is the permissible load: the lighter variant can legally carry about 570 kg less, a distinction that matters for compliance with urban weight limits and entry rules. In the Moscow context, this difference is more than a bureaucratic footnote because it can determine whether the vehicle has access to the central districts without additional permits or restrictions. For fleets operating within Moscow’s center, the practical impact is clear: choosing the lighter configuration can simplify routes, reduce processing time for movement within the city, and avoid the friction of frame-related checks. This nuance illustrates how a single specification line can influence real-world logistics strategy for Moscow-based transport operators.
Under the hood, the model runs a Diesel 2.2 engine developed in-house, delivering 128 horsepower and 315 Nm of torque. By contrast, the two-liter unit powering the JAC N35 truck, which rolled out in Russia a year prior, delivers about 129 horsepower and 285 Nm, while the Chinese Cummins Gazelle posts 140 horsepower and 320 Nm. A five-speed manual transmission channels the engine’s output to the wheels, and the package includes standard ABS and ESP for stability. Braking performance follows the typical pattern for light-to-medium duty trucks in this segment: front discs paired with rear drums. These figures place the vehicle in a familiar range for urban-medium duty work, where steady torque and predictable braking behavior are valued for line-haul city deliveries and short-distance routes.
The equipment list, while not extravagant, covers essential comfort and functionality. Air conditioning helps crews cope with regional climates, a multifunction steering wheel keeps controls within easy reach, and a heated driver’s seat adds a touch of comfort on chilly days. Electrical features and a basic audio system round out the core offerings, with fog lamps providing improved visibility in poor weather. In everyday use, this setup balances practicality and cost, ensuring that fleets can operate reliably without a premium on features that aren’t regularly used in urban operations.
Pricing for the bare chassis is set at 1.69 million rubles for the 2.5-ton variant and 1.83 million rubles for the 3.5-ton version. The standard superstructure includes only a platform on board for an additional 100 thousand rubles, but the choice of bodywork is largely open-ended in today’s market. Many Russian superstructure manufacturers are ready to tailor the vehicle to specific payloads and duty cycles, a flexibility that many fleet operators rely on when creating a vehicle tailored to their geographic and operational needs. The practical takeaway is straightforward: while the base chassis price frames the initial cost, the final configuration is shaped by the intended route structure, payload profile, and local certification requirements. Fleet buyers often weigh the upfront price against the long-term benefits of a body variant that minimizes downtime and accelerates loading and unloading in day-to-day operations.
