Since the end of the 90s and to this day, the domestic automaker AMO ZIL has been going through difficult times. Despite this, the plant does not postpone the development of new truck models for later, but, on the contrary, makes every effort to ensure that this or that model is mass-produced. So, the most successful projects of the "crisis times" of ZIL can rightfully be considered models of medium-duty vehicles of the "Bull" family and heavy trucks called ZIL-433180 (on-board modifications and dump trucks). Moreover, the latter gained great popularity immediately after its debut in the domestic market. So, let's take a closer look at what a ZIL dump truck model 433180 is.

Design

The appearance of the novelty turned out to be very successful, harmonious and even attractive. The "donor" for the development of the cabin was the model 4331, which has been mass-produced since 1992. In contrast, the ZIL dump truck 433180 model has gained morean elongated hood and interior design, although if you look at the novelty in profile, the overall layout still resembles the older brother of the 4331 model. The front fascia now has a more modern look - a new grille and a slightly modified bumper give the car an attractive look.

Interior

Unfortunately, positive changes affected only the appearance - in the cockpit, all the details remained as old and miserable as those of the "donor" in 1992. Black leatherette seats, black instrument panel, and even the enamel on metal parts is also painted black. The only thing that changes the picture is the multi-colored arrows of the tachometer and speedometer, which somehow decorate the interior. Otherwise, the Novik is a modernized copy of the Soviet hard worker, called "ZIL-131".

Dump truck ZIL-433180 and its specifications

The main features of the novelty are hidden under the hood. The car is initially equipped with a modern turbodiesel engine manufactured in Minsk "MMZ D 260.11", which meets the environmental standard "Euro-2". The unit has considerable power (178 horsepower) and a torque of 708 N / m. Such a truck is capable of lifting loads weighing up to 8 tons, while its Soviet counterpart ZIL-130 dump truck (diesel) lifted only 5 tons of bulk materials. This is really a big progress for the company, especially since the wheel formula of the novelty has remained the same - 4x2.

Despite the fact that according to passport data, the novelty consumes about 22 liters of diesel fuel per hundred kilometers, many drivers claim that the actual fuel consumption is approximately 19 liters. This makes the truck even more attractive in terms of profitability.

Varieties and demand for ZIL dump truck

Today, several modifications of this truck are mass-produced. This can be a flatbed truck, a chassis (it can be equipped with an isothermal van, a refrigeration unit, a dump body or converted into a garbage truck) of models 433182 and 433180, as well as another ZIL dump truck of the 494582 series. If you look at the sales statistics, you can see that the truck is in constant demand. The only catch is the small scale of production, so you can not see it even in Russia often, or at least less often than the 4331st ZIL.
