Where are UAZ SUVs heading? Ideal for swamps and snow.

Who, stuck in the mud on a UAZ, has not dreamed of putting a tractor engine on it? Like, a tractor diesel engine has excellent traction at the bottom. It will take you out of any swamp. But miracles do not happen. You can't just put a tractor engine on an Ulyanovsk SUV, the unit is too heavy.

And the Vladimir company "Integral 77" has solved this problem. The result was, or Mushroomer. As you like. Since the all-terrain vehicle has all the details of Russian and it was born in our country, I will call it exactly "Gribnik".

The machine can overcome heavy off-road conditions and carry up to a ton of cargo in the back. Plus it is capable of pulling a trailer in difficult road conditions.

The engine is produced at the Vladimir Tractor Plant. The three-cylinder air-cooled supercharged diesel engine produces 80 hp. at 2300 rpm, and the torque is 250 Nm at 1200 rpm. The absence of a liquid radiator has reduced the overall weight of the machine. The designers have installed the motor so that the "Gribnik" has an ideal weight distribution along the axes - 50:50!



The transfer case has no mechanical levers in the cabin. Instead, a block for the electropneumatic inclusion of an inter-axle lock was installed on the transfer case and downshift... They are controlled by buttons that are located on dashboard to the left of the driver. The inclusion of locks is accompanied by color indication. The control unit is a proprietary development of Integral-77 LLC. Like installed on transfer case disc parking brake.

Since the Gribnik's engine with air cooled, he does not have the usual cab heating system. For heating, an autonomous diesel heater is used, which takes diesel fuel from a common tank. The cab itself is noise and vibration insulated, as well as treated with several layers of primer and paint to prevent corrosion.

Landing behind the wheel is cargo, but, as they say, I sit high - I look far away. Of course, I want the back of the chair to be higher, with a more comfortable profile, and the seat belts are not waist belts, but three-point ones. But I think all this will appear over time. The debugging of the car continues.

The main thing is that the Gribnik rides on the gullies are fantastic. Climbs up steep ascents, and crawling over embankments and potholes, it does not cling to the ground either with engine protection or with a distributor.

The suspension is dependent, with hydraulic shock absorbers; the front is spring-loaded, and the rear is spring-loaded. Drive axles - own development companies. They provide excellent geometric flotation. The Gribnik's ground clearance is 410 mm. In addition, the machine can overcome a ford up to 900 mm deep.

All of the "Gribnik" is disc. The creators of the car decided that in difficult operating conditions disc brakes more reliable than drum. Water often gets into drums, and in winter, especially after a long stay, this becomes a problem.

Now on "Gribnik" tires, which are usually used on the front axle of tractors. That is why the car drives on the snow so confidently. And for movement in swamps or "weak-bearing soils" it can be equipped with ultra-low pressure wheels.



The first official show of "Gribnik" took place last year at an off-road vehicle exhibition in Moscow. We have now tested the car in real conditions... Personally, I liked the all-terrain vehicle. I believe that the car has a future. "Mushroom picker" may well fit into hunting farms. The all-terrain vehicle is maneuverable, with a large ground clearance... Its permeability is higher than that of UAZs, and it is capable of carrying much more: the carrying capacity of the "Mushroom" is 1250 kg. There should be no problems with servicing: all the parts are Russian, and there are plenty of spare parts for tractor motors. The military is also interested in the car. The goal of the design team is to bring the all-terrain vehicle to mass production. So far, this goal does not seem unattainable. We wish you good luck!

The pride of the domestic auto industry

Currently, many motorists believe that the UAZ SUV is best car... For this reason, such models have become very popular, especially on difficult Russian roads.

But not everyone can choose the right one for themselves. suitable car, and the most difficult task is the choice of SUVs. Most motorists want to buy an UAZ Patriot SUV, but some still try not to rush into choosing a certain model of an all-terrain vehicle.

This is explained quite simply, since now it has been possible to identify a number of main reasons that do not allow making a hasty choice, and they will be presented below.

Main characteristics

  1. If you want to buy yourself a jeep, then it is worth remembering that high demands are always made on such a car. This is due to the fact that this model, as a rule, is operated in a rather difficult conditions, and for this reason, it is not always possible to immediately give preference to the most suitable option.
  2. As for such a model as the UAZ Patriot, its cost is much higher than the prices for all the others. cars... Although simple maintenance such vehicles always cost the owners a very decent amount of money.

Now it's time to answer in more detail the question that concerns the right choice SUV, as well as how UAZ tuning is carried out. The solution to such a problem should be approached with great responsibility, since in the future, many owners begin to regret the money spent just like that, and their amounts are quite large.

Selection criteria

To begin with, experts recommend learning how to properly assess your financial capabilities and, in accordance with them, in the future, select the most suitable UAZ SUV. This should be done even before the moment when you will definitely go to buy a car. In addition, you need to understand which model will be more comfortable for you, it may be a jeep.

In order to avoid problems with the further operation of the car, you just need to follow a number of the most basic criteria. Thanks to these points, everyone will be able to accurately buy the SUV of their dreams:

  1. Further use of the purchased vehicle.
  2. The main characteristics and technical specifications any SUV model.
  3. An indicator of the comfort of the selected vehicle.

Below will be described in more detail about each of the listed items.

The car is not afraid of off-road

Before buying a specific model of an SUV, it is necessary to determine exactly the area where the transport will be operated. For example, the UAZ Patriot is perfect for trips outside the city, but only not all owners of such cars go out into the countryside, which means that such a purchase will not be very appropriate for them. The most ideal option, which is suitable for moving around the city, is a model called "SUV". Its appearance differs little from the appearance of SUVs produced by modern manufacturers.

If vehicle necessary for road traffic bad quality, then for this purpose one should give preference to such an SUV model as the UAZ Patriot. It should be noted that modern models this type are equipped not only with a plug-in four-wheel drivebut also permanent.

Modern experts advise choosing only all-wheel drive SUVs, since it is now quite difficult to find normal roads, and by making such a choice, you can avoid problems associated with how the UAZ will be tuned. When the roads on which you plan to drive the car are characterized by good condition, a plug-in model is available.

In addition to all of the above, it is very important to pay attention to whether the vehicle has independent suspension and the supporting frame, since these constituent elements have a significant impact on achieving excellent driving performance from the purchased vehicle.

Auto salon

IN modern SUVs it is customary to highlight certain and very important parameters... These include:

  • engine capacity;
  • power indicator;
  • total vehicle weight;
  • its main dimensions;
  • average fuel consumption;
  • the highest rate of acceleration.

Each of them is completely dependent on the preference for a car, typical driving style and financial capacity. Of course, no one can give any specific recommendations on this matter, since each person chooses only what he likes best, because after a properly selected car, you can get a lot of positive emotions.

As for the level of comfort of the selected vehicle, first of all, this should be noted while driving. This indicator for many future owners is the main and very important, and this applies to both an SUV and a sedan. executive class... Recently, manufacturers have begun to produce more and more SUVs characterized by a good level of comfort, since the cabin has special anatomical seats, a variety of options with which control becomes even easier, and much more. The absence of such can always fix the tuning of the UAZ.

In addition, the noise insulation level indicator plays an important role in the choice, because it should be comfortable to be in the car, which means that there are no extraneous noise should not enter the salon.

The only thing is that if the vehicle is planned to be used only on poor quality roads, then here it is no longer necessary to look for a comfortable option, because the overpayment for additional options would not be entirely appropriate.

History of the UAZ / UAZ brand

The history of the Ulyanovsk Automobile Plant begins in 1941, when the State Defense Committee of the USSR made a decision to evacuate a number of enterprises from Moscow. It was decided to move the ZIS plant to Ulyanovsk. At the beginning of 1942, the first products were produced at the ZIS - shells for aviation. In the same year, the production of front-line trucks ZIS-5 for the needs of Soviet army... In 1944, the designers of UAZ developed the UlZIS-253 diesel truck. In 1947, the 1.5-ton truck GAZ-AA... On March 13, 1949, the 10,000th man left the gates of the plant freight car... In 1954 appears new model GAZ-69. Since 1955, the plant begins to specialize in the production of cars high cross-country ability... The plant began exporting all-terrain vehicles of the UAZ brand in 1956, the vehicles were sold in 22 countries of the world.

In 1960, a push rod conveyor was developed at the ball plant and a patent was received for its invention. A year later in the automotive range Ulyanovsk plant the UAZ-451D flatbed truck and the UAZ-451 van appear. At the beginning of 1965, the 250,000th GAZ-69 was produced at the UAZ. The UAZ-452D low-tonnage truck at the international exhibition in Moscow in 1966 received gold medal... Thanks to the wonderful operational characteristics and excellent cross-country ability, this car for many years has become an indispensable assistant in the agriculture of the USSR. First batch legendary SUVs UAZ-469 left the assembly line in 1972. The millionth car was the UAZ-452, released on February 18, 1974. The floating car "Jaguar" developed at UAZ had no analogues in the world in its time, the speed of the Jaguar on the water surface reaches 10 km / h.

In 1993, the plant mastered production new modification UAZ-31514 with more comfortable salon and an engine with improved fuel efficiency. August 5, 1997 was born new car UAZ-3160, on the basis of which Simbir and UAZ-3163 were developed. In 2003, UAZ expanded its production capacity with a plant in Vietnam. On March 4, 2004, the UAZ-2360 truck rolled off the assembly line. The famous UAZ Patriot was launched on August 17, 2005 by the company. This is a modern, comfortable SUV, developed by Ulyanovsk designers. For production UAZ Patriot a new welding line was mastered at the plant and the main conveyor was improved. Three years later, on the basis of the Patriot, the Ulyanovsk Automobile Plant produces a commercial version of the Cargo light-duty truck. In 2011 UAZ celebrates its anniversary - the plant turned 70 years old. Since November 2014, production has started on the assembly lines of UAZ renewed family UAZ Patriot. The upgraded model received a number of new options and became more comfortable. In 2015, an off-road vehicle of the UAZ brand participates in the Dakar rally-raid for the first time - the UAZ Patriot, participating in the marathon as an escort vehicle, has successfully covered the entire distance from start to finish.

Since its inception, the transport, which was produced at Ulyanovsk car factory, was in demand. Until now, among motorists there are adherents of these cars, which are distinguished by their simplicity and reliability. At all times there were specialists who were not satisfied basic configuration UAZ cars and they tried to turn it into something unusual. A lot of modernization options were carried out, but I would like to dwell on the most unusual and memorable ones.

Luxury transport

Based on UAZ cars in the 90s, a company called LLD, which had working areas in Sergiev Posad and in Moscow, assembled UAZ-31512 SUVs, which belonged to the luxury segment. The LLD company, founded by the Larin brothers together with friends, worked in a certain style and produced work of such quality that it was often compared to Materelli, a company in Italy. During the tuning, the masters used exclusively domestic components. The main advantage of the SUV was a hard roof, for the construction of which multilayer sandwich panels were used. Special fasteners were installed in it, making the roof quick-detachable. The salon in which they installed new steering wheel, a plastic panel and even new rugs.

In Crimea, you can see the UAZ 2206, which was converted into a retro food truck by a specialist living in Sevastopol. This car still drives to various events so that no one is hungry for them. You can buy pastries, hot dogs and drinks in this car.

House on wheels

Today many people dream of a mobile home with which it is convenient to travel and do not have to worry about an overnight stay. A resident of the capital decided to transform the UAZ Cargo into a small camper. Behind the driver's back were: a shower, a gas stove, a wardrobe with clothes, etc. It's nice that such a mobile home is able to drive on almost any off-road, and therefore it is not scary to travel on it to any place.

Powerful car

Modernization does not always affect change appearance vehicle. For example, in the UAZ-452 they decided to internal changes... Standard engine replaced powerful motor for 3.2 liters, which works on diesel fuel and capable of issuing 150 horse power... Was also installed automatic transmission gears, grouser tires and blocking axles. By the way, the roof was raised by 12 centimeters. If you look into the salon, you will also notice certain changes.

Changing the military model

Many associate the UAZ-469 exclusively with military vehicles, but not everyone considers this car to be suitable exclusively for military purposes. There were specialists who equipped the car with soft seats, supplemented it with a folding roof mechanism and thus made a good option for a long family trip.

Variation on a theme of Gelik

UAZ cars are extremely difficult to turn into an exact copy of Gelendvagen from the world famous company Mercedes Benz... There are craftsmen who are trying to translate this idea into reality. So far, the result of the work is impressive, but UAZ Hunter has not yet gone through all the stages of transformation, and therefore it is different to talk about the final result.

Ideal for swamps and snow

The basis of the P6WD-1150U VTS vehicle, which was made specifically for movement in snow and swamps, was the same UAZ-425. To make the all-terrain vehicle larger, enthusiasts crossed its body with an extended Shigini frame. She, in turn, added one bridge.

Yamal T-6 L

The UAZ Patriot pickup truck became the basis for the creation of the Yamal T-6 L. This vehicle weighs 2.8 tons. Its features include the ability to remotely regulate tire pressure, drive on six wheels, transfer from a GAZ-66 car, etc. The speed of the car is not high, but even 65 km / h for such a car is a good indicator.

Floating car

This transport was given the name "Superhead". It was based on -39,095, which was seriously altered. Experts have replaced the carburetor, installed centralized system inflating tires and power steering, strengthened the suspension. The spacious body of the watercraft is used to transport ATVs.

Tracked UAZ

On the basis of the UAZ-452, the "TransMash" company built an all-terrain vehicle called "Vetluga". The specialists decided to put the car on tracks so that it could move on any surface. She can even swim at a speed of 5 km / h. You can use the car to transport goods and people in wetlands and off-road. But on the road on such a car you can no longer pass.

Another all-terrain vehicle

It is created at the All-Terrain Vehicle Plant and is called Ukhtysh. The basis is taken by the UAZ Hunter. There are several trim levels with gasoline and diesel engine... This modernized model shows itself well on land, moreover, it is also capable of moving on water, although the speed is low - 4-5 km / h.

Army off-road vehicle

Design studio "Cardi", operating in Moscow, in 2006 presented an interesting version based on the prototype UAZ-2970 - a model army off-road vehicle... The car was installed zMZ engine, which rotated a generator, giving electricity to two electric motors. It didn't go further than the layout.

Car for collectors

In the late 90s, the chassis was used by the Kirov Plant to create an armored cash-in-transit vehicle called the AS-1913 Lagoda. The factory did a good job on the armor, which could withstand the 7.62 Kalashnikov burst. The design turned out to be also interesting, only such cars were released in a limited series.
