Nowadays, the transportation of steelan integral part of construction, transportation and international supplies. Technical characteristics are the main aspect that many companies consider when choosing a new truck. Those who are just beginning to run their business, stop on domestic technology. As a truck for international transportation, Belarusian MAZ 6312a9 should be highlighted. In series production, it was launched recently and it looks like it will be produced for more than one year.

About technical characteristics

The novelty is equipped with a six-cylinder dieselengine of the YaMZ brand 650-10. The motor meets all the norms and requirements of EURO 3. The truck is manufactured under the license of Renault-Traks and has a series of cylinders (in similar models it was V-shaped). Due to this, fuel consumption was reduced by three percent. Power at the same time increased.

In combination with a trailer, such trucks are called"Locomotives". Unlike truck tractors, such a package has a larger cargo compartment (on average 10-15 percent), has greater maneuverability and versatility. But the disadvantages are also there - this is fuel consumption. Often it is 3-4 percent higher than that of tractors. But such a difference is more than offset by obvious pluses.

The new cabin has similar features with cabinspredecessors. Perhaps the only significant change is the rounded headlights (in previous models they were square) and the aerodynamic shape. But thanks to these small changes, the designers achieved maximum expressiveness of the truck. Having seen such a motor-train on a freeway, you will not immediately distinguish it from previous models. The high layout of the cabin gives the car not only solidity, but also creates comfortable conditions for the driver. But as they say, in the barrel of honey has its own fly-fly. So it happened with MAZ - the dashboard has the same combination and design, as well as 10-year-old models. But, fortunately, this does not affect comfort and carrying capacity in any way. On the novelty you can safely transport cargo on long routes.

A little about the numbers

It should be noted that the volume of cargo compartment MAZ6312a9 320 010 is 46 cubic meters, which is a good indicator for modern "locomotives". At the same time its load-carrying capacity is equal to thirteen tons. But thanks to the powerful motor a small overload of 1-2 tons practically does not affect the behavior of the car. And yet it is better to exploit it with a trailer.

A trailer was developed at the Minsk Automobile Plantspecially for this model - MAZ 870110. It is able to accommodate a cargo of up to 47.3 cubic meters. Thus, MAZ 6312a9 as part of the road train is capable of pulling loads of up to 27 tons and up to 93 cubic meters. Its total weight is 44 tons. At the same time, the machine can develop a speed of about 100 kilometers per hour! As you can see, the technical characteristics exceed the figures of truck tractors. This truck is also operated as a grain carrier and is capable of transporting any bulk cargo weighing up to 26,000 kilograms.
