Not everyone wants to work for the owner. One of the most accessible types of private entrepreneurship is cargo transportation. And one of the most convenient cars for this type of business is the Gazelle. It is maneuverable, unpretentious in maintenance, it can be repaired independently. The technical characteristics of the Gazelle make it possible to use the vehicle for urban and intercity transportation.
Description of the vehicle
Gross vehicle weight is 3.5 tons. And this means that anyone who has obtained the right to drive a car, that is, has opened category "B", can drive it. For the same reason, there are no problems with the passage of the Gazelle through city streets. The turning radius of the car is 5.5 m (smaller than most "cars"). Carrying capacity - 1.5 thousand kg, which makes it profitable to transport this type of vehicle onsmall distances. The loading height of the body is 1 m, which allows loading without the use of special tools. The length of the car body is 3 m, the width is 1.95, the side height is 40 cm.
You don't have to worry too much about road conditions while driving a Gazelle 3302 car. Ground clearance specifications - 17 cm - allow it to go off-road. Of course, this is not an all-terrain vehicle, but Russian roads are not terrible for a car. Especially if it's loaded to capacity.
In addition to the usual version, where the rear axle is the leading one, there are modifications with all-wheel drive. Such a car will overcome even the primer washed out by rain.
Look under the hood
Under the hood of Gazelles, produced before 2000, there was an engine from a Volga car, proven over the years. But its power was not always enough, and recently the designers began to install a new injection engine.
"Gazelle" (technical characteristics are presented in the table) is equipped with units of the Zavolzhsky and Ulyanovsk motor plants:
| UMZ-4216 | ZMZ-4063 | |
| Volume, l | 2, 89 | 2, 28 |
| Power, l. s. | 110 | 110 |
| Max. torque, N. m | 21, 6 | 19, 1 |
Currently, more and more often you can find cars of this type, running on diesel fuel. The Cummins economical motor has the following parameters:
- power - 120 hp p.;
- volume - 2.8 l;
- fuel consumption - 10 liters per 100 km.
Technical characteristics of the "Gazelle" also allow you to install gas-cylinder equipment to work on methane or propane. The ability to use 2 types of fuel - gasoline and gas - makes the car more economical. For example, in winter conditions, thanks to gasoline, the car is easy to start. Then it is switched to gas, which significantly saves the driver's money.
The braking system is of no small importance for road safety. The Gazelle is equipped with hydraulic front disc and rear drum brakes, which reduces the braking distance to a minimum (60 m) at a speed of 80 km/h.
Cab
The cab in a conventional cargo "Gazelle" has 3 seats - one driver and two passenger. There is a modification with a six-seater cabin. The technical characteristics of the Gazelle Duet are somewhat different from the standard ones - the body is shorter. At the same time, the total length of the machine - 5.5 m - does not change. Such cars are popular among window installers, builders, repairmen, emergency workers. They need to move mobile from site to site, transporting materials and equipment.
On the roads you can meetcars whose body length is up to 4 m. If the owner of the car wants to modify his vehicle in this way, he will need a special permit.
The design of the "Gazelle" is reliable, but anything can happen on the way, no one is safe from force majeure. Even an inexperienced driver is able to make minor repairs or change a wheel himself.
Summing up, we note: the technical characteristics of the Gazelle made this brainchild of the domestic auto industry one of the most popular not only in Russia, but throughout the post-Soviet space.

Some skeptics often argue about the need to develop new types of light armored vehicles. But the experience of modern military conflicts shows the need to develop this direction. After all, often in urban battles, heavy equipment and armored personnel carriers become an easy target for the enemy, they simply lack mobility. It is armored vehicles that are capable of not only transporting personnel, but can also become a universal platform for installing modern fire suppression equipment

The Passat with the B3 index was introduced in Geneva in 1988. Despite the controversial exterior, the car had an amazing streamlining coefficient for that time - 0.28. She received excellent reviews from the owners, as evidenced by 1.6 million copies sold. Let's take a closer look at the technical characteristics of the machine
Tractor DT-54 - the main Soviet plowman with good technical data
The Soviet caterpillar tractor DT-54 (photos are presented on the page) was created in 1949 at a plant in Kharkov. The serial production of a new agricultural machine was launched there. The DT-54 tractor was produced at KhTZ from 1949 to 1961. Also, production was opened at the Stalingrad Tractor Plant, where the machine was produced in approximately the same quantity

The YaMZ 236 diesel engine has replaced the outdated family of YaMZ 204/206 two-stroke engines. The fundamental difference between the new engines was a four-stroke cycle of operation, which significantly increased the performance of the engines. The design of the motor made it possible to subsequently install a pressurization system on it
