Has the shishige replacement become a reality? Let’s talk about the new Urals!

At the Expodrev exhibition recently held in Krasnoyarsk, the Ural Automobile Plant showed a promising Ural-4360 truck. I must say that in August the car was already exhibited at the Army-2022 forum, but if then the factory workers only studied the interest of potential customers in the exhibition model, now it’s time to talk about the serial model: the factory went into a cooperation agreement with the Federal Forestry Agency (Rosleskhoz).

An ideologically light car with a YaMZ-534 diesel four under the hood (instead of the traditional one for the older Ural-43206 V6) largely overlaps with the Army Ural-66 shown last year, but there are quite a few differences in design.

The cab of the Ural-4360 is not original, but serial Next, as on LAWNS, GAZelles and URALs, only with its own upholstery. In terms of overall length and wheelbase, the truck is also taller than last year’s “sixty-sixth”. In the front suspension, instead of springs, springs are designed to provide a smooth ride and reduce weight.

The Ural will continue to work on the last parameter: they plan to make the frame itself lighter, which is very common between the civilian Ural-4360 and the military Ural-66. As a transmission option, in addition to the manual gearbox, they will also offer a new GAZ automatic transmission designed by the Gorky Automobile Plant. The payload of the new model is 4 tons.

  • But this option for replacing the GAZ-66 is not the only one: the recently introduced MZKT-450330 chassis can also become one.
  • “Behind the Wheel” can be seen on RuTube.
