ZIL-4331 is a truck with a diesel engine. In the 70s of the twentieth century in the Soviet Union, the government decided to produce trucks that run on diesel fuel.
Two plants - ZIL and KAMAZ - were slated to carry out this program.
In 1981, on the basis of the ZIL-169 car, a new model of the car with the ZIL index 4331 was built.
The new product uses a bumper of the original form, headlights and sidelights are mounted in it. We made a three-dimensional lining of the radiator, which occupied the entire width of the plumage, and the plumage itself was shortened. Lightweight ABC plastic was taken as the cladding material. The weight of the front of the car has been reduced. In 1985, the serial production of this car model ZIL 4331 began.
Diesel is equipped with a synchronized gearbox that has nine shift speeds. Fenders, hood, radiator lining are assembled into one unit for easy maintenance of the power unit, it leans back on hinges. Sitting in a comfortable cabin moves on springs in three directions. The body is made of metal and has a one-piece design. The carrying capacity of the machine is 6 tons, the developed speed is up to 95 km / h, from 18 to 23 liters of fuel is consumed per 100 kmfor a truck without a trailer and from 16 to 31 liters with a trailer.
In 1992, the most prominent car model appeared with a separate module for sleeping two people. There is a dragfoiler (viewing glass) on the roof, side fairings and a “skirt” are installed under the bumper. Engine with a displacement of 9.55 liters, 200 horsepower.
Subsequent upgrades were associated with the rearrangement of the cabs of new models of machines on the chassis of old ones.

Advantages of ZIL 4331. Description
Having a relatively small carrying capacity, ZIL 4331 cannot compete with imported "truckers". Cars of this class carry out cargo transportation over short distances and in cities. The advantage of the car is its low price.
Spare parts for this car are not expensive either, and a diverse selection of them is available for sale.
Those who purchased a truck of this model note that one of its advantages is the ability to correct problems that have arisen in any conditions. Even at the lowest temperatureair, the engine warms up quickly. You can store your car outside.
The versatility of the ZIL 4331 truck, the characteristics that it has, allows it to be used in various industries. If the MKS-4531 onboard manipulator is mounted on it, then it can be used as a lifting device when transporting packaged goods and containers, for unloading at a construction site, warehouses. There is no need to use additional taps. All loading and unloading operations are controlled by the driver. Installing a lift allows the machine to be used for human work at height. With some extra equipment, it can be used as a fire truck.
A significant disadvantage is the rather high fuel consumption.
