In the 90s, the Ulyanovsk plant faced a sharp drop in production and sales. State institutions stopped purchasing cars, and private traders were not always satisfied with the proposed range of products. In this situation, the plant began to create new models of machines based on existing ones. Additional models were obtained by installing engines with different cylinder sizes. All these activities allowed us to quickly expand the range at minimal cost.
A car for everyone
One of these cars was the UAZ 39099 "Farmer", created on the basis of a standard minibus. The car was introduced to the general public in early 1996. The car is an all-metal wagon-type van on a frame chassis. Inside there are three rows of seats for 6 passengers and the driver. At the rear there is a small cargo compartment, separated from the passenger compartment by a partition with a small window. The cargo compartment is designed to carry 450 kg of cargo. The standard civilian version of UAZ 39099 is pictured below.
Access to the car is through individual doors for the driver and passenger, andalso a side door on the starboard side leading to the two rear rows of seats. Access to the cargo compartment is through the rear hinged door. The rear doors can be deaf or have glazing. The passenger compartment has a regular table and an additional heater with increased performance. Such equipment makes the machine suitable both for vacation trips and for performing various work by mobile teams.
The car has become widely used in public utilities and road services as an emergency. There is a police car based on UAZ 39099, and the cargo compartment is adapted to transport two detainees.
Design
Structurally, the UAZ 39099 is a classic "loaf" with all-wheel drive. The base model 3309 comes off the assembly line with a 2.445-liter 92-horsepower engine of the UMZ 4178.10 model. At one time, the machine could optionally be equipped with a ZMZ motor, similar in technical characteristics.
UAZ 39099 is equipped with a more modern 2.89-liter four-cylinder carburetor engine UMZ 4218.10, which differs from the base model. Engine power varies by year of manufacture and ranges from 98 to 100 hp. With. Both types of motors are adapted to run on A80 gasoline.
The transmission units of both variants are identical and include a four-speed gearbox and a two-speed transfer case. The front axle can be disabled using special couplings placed in the hubs. But trippingthe bridge has little effect on fuel consumption, reaching 16 liters when driving in the city. The fuel supply is located according to the classic UAZ scheme - in two 43-liter tanks on different sides of the body. An interesting point - the necks of the tanks, except for the cork, are not closed by anything. Therefore, many owners are forced to come up with various locking devices to prevent gasoline theft.
UAZ cargo-passenger today
Currently, the production of the machine continues under the designation 390995-460(480)-04 and 390995-460(480) under the trade designation "Combi". The cars differ in the number of seats - 7 and 5, respectively. The difference between models with indices 460 and 480 is in the type of bridges. The former are equipped with Timken axles, the latter are equipped with Spicer axles with a reduced gear ratio.
