Salon

MAZ-4370 "Zubryonok" is a medium-duty low-bed truck of the Minsk Automobile Plant. N2 class car, category MCV, which was produced by MAZ in the early 2000s (in the 2010s it was replaced by the MAZ-4371 Zubryonok-2). The truck is designed for intracity and suburban transportation: it is soft, roomy, maneuverable and very comfortable, thanks to the low frame, for loading and unloading. "3ubryonok" - the unofficial name of the model. Although there were rumors about its introduction as the factory name of the car - in those years when "3ubryonok" was still competing with "ZIL Bychk" and "GAZ Valdai".

The first samples of a truck of a new class - a low-bed delivery medium-duty vehicle, very much in demand on the market new Russia, MA3 was created in the late 1990s together with the Gorky Automobile Plant. Despite the fact that the Soviet Union ordered to live long, the economic ties developed over decades are still for a long time remained strong. But in the future, without bringing the project to completion, each manufacturer went his own way. Minsk Automobile Plant unilaterally refused to supply its cabins to GAZ. And he took as a basis when creating his own medium-tonnage delivery truck German MAN L 2000. It was only decided to add capacity to it in terms of carrying capacity, and in the summer of 1999 the first MA3-4Z70 “Zubryonok” left the factory gates.

A serious payload and a spacious cabin were indeed the undeniable advantages of this car: according to these indicators, they were left behind. The cabover cab of the Zubryonok, inherited from the “adult” MAZ, was much more spacious and comfortable, and the cargo, with similar dimensions and maneuverability, the MA3-4Z70 could carry much more than the Valdai or Bull. It can be said that for a long time the Minsk medium-duty truck did not have a worthy competitor in the domestic market. Until in 2007, the Chelny medium-tonnage Kamazyonok appeared (also an unofficial name).

In the 2010s, the turn of a new generation came medium duty trucks Minsk Automobile Plant. Zubryonok-2 was spared many of the shortcomings of the first model; equipped with a restyled cabin of a new model and more modern and environmentally friendly diesel engines.

The main purpose of the MA3-4Z70 "3ubrenok" model is to transport various cargoes, including those with a trailer, on intra-city, suburban and intra-regional routes. Although the presence of a mobile sleeping bag in the cockpit implies some "long-range". But not inter-regional, of course: a low-frame car is not suitable for this. Its main element is the delivery of goods to various retail chains.

The low-frame design of the body helps in the transportation of overall and high loads, facilitates and increases the speed of loading and unloading the body. The main version of the car is a flatbed truck, with the installation of an awning. However, the design of the MA3-4Z70 also allows you to install a variety of special equipment on the chassis of this machine. Often, "Zubryat" is equipped with cranes, lifting towers, tow trucks, compact concrete mixers and tankers, dump trucks, vans or refrigerators. Good maneuverability in dense traffic and medium dimensions allow the car to be operated in urban utilities and in production.

Modifications

There are four main modifications of the MA3-4Z70 "3ubrenok". They differ in engines and gearboxes that are installed on them.

MA3-4Z7040- with MMZ D-245.9-540 engine and ZIL-695D (SAAZ) gearbox;
MAZ-43704- with MMZ D-245.30 (Euro-2) engine and SAAZ-3206.70 gearbox;
MAZ-437043- with MMZ D-245.30 (Euro-Z) engine and SAAZ-3206 gearbox;
MAZ-437030- with Deutz BF4M 1013FC (Euro-3) engine and ZF S5-42 gearbox.

In addition, the manufactured modifications of the Zubrenok may differ in the length of the wheelbase (3 m; 3.7 m; 4.2 m); the presence or absence of a rear hitch for towing a trailer.

The most widespread on the Zubryats was, of course, not the German Deutz, but the cheaper Minsk diesel engine plant MMZ D-245, modified by Belarusian specialists, first to the Euro-2 standards, and then to the Euro-3 environmental level. This is a well-known in the CIS, time-tested "tractor" four-stroke four-cylinder diesel power unit. It is good for its reliability, unpretentiousness, endurance and high maintainability. The MA3-4Z70 engine is equipped with a turbocharger, the cylinders in it are arranged vertically, in line.

Technical parameters of diesel engine MMZ D-245.30 E3:

Working volume - 4.75 l;
Compression ratio - 17;
Power - 95 kW or 157 horsepower;
Diesel fuel consumption is 205 g / kWh, or 17-18 liters per 100 kilometers;
The dry weight of the engine is 450 kg.

Engine MMZ D-245.30

The Deutz BF4M 1013FC engine is equipped with additional options, which ensure its more uniform and quiet operation, with less noise and vibration load than the D-245. These are, in particular, an improved cooling system, a more modern turbocharging and an electronic speed controller. According to the technical characteristics, "Deutz" is similar to MMZ.
Technical parameters of the Deutz BF4M 1013FC diesel:

Working volume - 4.8 l;
Rated rotation speed - 1500 rpm;
Compression ratio - 17;
Power - 170 horsepower;
Gross torque limit - 580 N.m;
Diesel fuel consumption is 205-209 g/kWh;
The dry weight of the engine is 560 kg.

Existing modifications of MA3-4Z70 are equipped with mechanical boxes gear shifting SAAZ-3206 or ZF S5-42. The manufacturers of these units are the Saransk Aggregate Plant and the German company ZF. All gearbox options are five-speed. The single disc friction dry clutch mechanism transfers torque from the engine shaft to the transmission. The disc diameter is 34 cm or 36 cm. The rear axle is driving. It has a bevel gear and a cross-axle differential with a lock.

At the heart of the car is a ladder-type frame with two spars of channel section and cross members of channel and tubular section. For MA3-4Z70 trucks, the front leaf spring suspension is of a dependent type, equipped with hydraulic shock absorbers with stabilizers. The front axle is an I-beam with steered wheels attached to it. Rear suspension car is a spring structure. At the rear, longitudinal semi-elliptical springs are mounted, in the form of sets of steel strips. The suspension is very simple and reliable in design. The trouble-free resource of its work, subject to the avoidance of vehicle overloads, is about three hundred thousand kilometers.

The brake system is installed drum type, on all wheels. To control the brakes, a dual-circuit pneumatic hydraulic drive with independent circuits of the rear and front pairs of wheels is used. rear drums equipped parking brake battery operated. Some cars were equipped not with drums, but disc brakes, but this is rare.

"Bison" with an extended base.

MA3-4Z70 "3ubrenok" is equipped with steel wheels and tires of size 235 / 75R17.5. On the rear axle, the wheels are paired. Initially, the model was equipped with Continental tires, since we did not produce tires of the required size. Subsequently, the Minsk Automobile Plant began to cooperate with Yaroslavsky, who began to supply tires of the Y478 brand to the partner. They became the main ones for Zubryat.

electrical equipment

The electrical system of the truck of this model is powered by 24V. The sources of power supply are rechargeable batteries series 6-ST-110 in the amount of two pieces, as well as an alternator of type 3232.3771.10, in which an integrated voltage regulator is built. The ST-230R starter with an electromagnetic start mechanism starts the engine.

Cabin and controls MAZ-4370

MA3-4Z70 "3ubrenok" is equipped with a triple (without a sleeping bag) or a double (with a folding mobile sleeping bag) cabin. As noted earlier, the cabin of the Zubrenok is very, very spacious for a medium-duty class vehicle, since it was borrowed from the “adult” MAZ.

The berth is a mobile-folding, which under normal conditions is just a shelf located at the rear of the cab, behind the seats. Thanks to the impressive internal volume of the cabin, as well as a flat floor, three adults of any size can freely fit in it without creating problems for each other.

The driver's seat, although it cannot be called comfortable and modern, is still air-suspended and equipped with a set of adjustments. The controls are generally the same as on the "adult" MAZ.

Numerous complaints are caused by poor build quality, fitting trim parts, as well as the materials themselves from which the cabin is made. Cheap and unpretentious plastic and leatherette, although they cause warm nostalgia for the Soviet Union, but in the 21st century they look out of place on a car. There are simply no words about the finger-thick gaps that are often available on the Zubryats at the junctions of the eraser panels.

MAZ 4370 became the first medium-duty flatbed truck in history with a low loading height, produced in the territory former USSR(in the Republic of Belarus).

The car has become one of the most successful products of the Minsk Automobile Plant. The first production models of the truck were presented in 1999, but the model began to be delivered to the Russian market only in 2003, where it immediately received great recognition.

Today MAZ 4370 remains just as popular. The car is distinguished by thoughtful design, high build quality and small cost, which explains its demand in Russia and Eastern Europe.

General information

MAZ 4370 is a popular low-bed medium-duty truck belonging to the MCV category (manufacturer - Minsk Automobile Plant, Belarus).

The history of the Minsk Automobile Plant is divided into 2 periods: before and after the collapse of the USSR. If in Soviet era the enterprise had large production volumes and wide financial opportunities, then everything changed. Cash flows were cut, and the plant faced serious technical and financial difficulties. During this period, it was necessary to radically change the product line in order to meet the new needs of the market.

In 1997, the Minsk Automobile Plant began to cooperate with MAN, which seriously affected further development enterprises. On that moment Gorky Automobile Plant together with the Minsk Automobile Plant, they began the creation of a low-frame medium-duty vehicle designed for improved roads. However, subsequently, the Minsk Automobile Plant refused to supply cabs for GAZ products and began developing its own truck. At that time, cooperation with German company was vital for the company, as it allowed borrowing foreign solutions for the production of its own cars.

The basis for the creation of the MAZ 4370 was the 6-ton truck MAN L 2000, introduced in 1994. The Minsk Automobile Plant showed the first samples of the new model in 1999. For them, a foreign-made chassis and cabin were used. hallmark the car has a lowered frame. The emergence of a unique for the Russian and Belarusian market The truck didn't go unnoticed. Spacious cab and high specifications allowed the car to remain in the lead in its class for a long time. The success of the MAZ 4370 was due to the urgent need for vehicles for a variety of small transportation over various distances. The low loading height was comfortable to work with and made the process easier.

The truck entered the Russian market only in 2003 and was offered in 2 versions:

MAZ 437040 - a standard truck with the ability to move as part of a road train;
MAZ 437041 - version with a towing unit for use with trailers.

At that moment, a 3-ton ZIL "Bull" and a 1.5-ton GAZelle had already appeared on the domestic market. However, even with competitors, the MAZ 4370 was in great demand. Neither the GAZ-3310 (Valdai) nor the ZIL-5301 could compare with the Minsk car in terms of technical characteristics, comfort and build quality. A worthy competitor for MAZ 4370 appeared only 10 years later, when KamAZ 4308 entered the market.

MAZ 4370 was produced in the following modifications:

MAZ 43704 - model with MMZ D-245.30 E2 engine environmental class Euro 2;
MAZ 437040 - version with the MMZ D-245.9-540 engine of the Euro-1 environmental class;
MAZ 437043 - a model with an improved unit MMZ D-245.30 E3 of the ecological class Euro-3;
MAZ 4370430 is the most powerful variation with the German Euro-3 DEUTZ engine. The engine worked in conjunction with a 5-speed gearbox ZF S5-42.

The main purpose of the MAZ 4370 is the transportation of goods various types on urban and intra-regional routes. For this model operation as a part of the road train is possible. car received widespread as a tow truck. Mounted on MAZ 4370 chassis various equipment(manipulators, lifting devices, tipper body, cistern and more), which allows it to be used in various areas of production and construction. On some versions, improved sleeper cabs are installed, allowing the car to be used for long-distance transportation.

Device

MAZ 4370 received a front dependent spring suspension with hydraulic shock absorbers (telescopic type) with a stabilizer. An I-beam was used as the front axle. The rear suspension was built on longitudinal semi-elliptical springs. This design has proven itself well and differed increased resistance. MAZ 4370 had a front-wheel drive rear-engine layout with a 4x2 wheel arrangement. For the first models, foreign chassis produced at the MAN factory. Later, the Minsk Automobile Plant began to produce its own chassis. MAZ 4370 was equipped with a low-frame body, which was its main advantage. This arrangement made it possible to transport oversized cargo With great height without additional permits. The suspension of the car turned out to be slightly stiff due to the use of standard springs, which are stacked sheets of metal. Its main advantage was the simplicity of the device. The service life of the springs reached 100-200 thousand km. At the same time, the rigidity decreased markedly with a decrease in tire pressure or after loading the vehicle.

The car was equipped with 2 types of transmissions:

5-speed manual gearbox SAAZ-3206 (manufacturer - Russia, Saransk Aggregate Plant). This gearbox is characterized by small gear ratios and high rigidity.
5-speed manual gearbox ZF S5-42 (assembly - Spain or China). Gear shifting is performed without sharp clicks and more gently.

Torque was transmitted to the transmission elements from the motor by means of a single-disk dry friction clutch. For the rear axle, an interwheel differential with a lock was provided.

In the design of the MAZ 4370, a drum-type brake system was used, which included 2 main elements - a drum and brake pads(some versions received disc front brakes). Such a mechanism was both simple and reliable. into action brake system driven by a pneumohydraulic system, the impact was carried out on all wheels. The car also had a parking brake driven by power accumulators. The car was provided with 17.5-inch tires (235 / 75R) with a special tread. Initially, the model was equipped Continental tires, since the CIS countries did not produce tires of the required size. Later, the Minsk Automobile Plant began to cooperate with the Yaroslavl Plant, which began to supply Ya478 tires to the partner. They were installed in the stock version.

MAZ 4370 received a modern power supply system with a voltage of 24 V. 2 batteries 6-ST-110 and a generator 3232.3771.10 served as power sources. The engine was started by the ST-230R starter.

The car was equipped with a 2- or 3-seater cab, which could be equipped with a berth, allowing the driver to rest if necessary. This place was folding and, if necessary, removed into the back wall. The cabin also installed a stove with electronic adjustment, which provided optimal temperature regime in winter. The doors had special handrails that made it easy to climb inside. The cabin itself was hard to call modern, but in terms of convenience, it was considered one of the best.

An awning or other equipment was installed on the MAZ 4370 frame. The truck is currently offered in the following versions:

truck crane;
manipulator;
concrete mixer;
closed body;
refrigerator.

The price of a new and used MAZ 4370

The cost of the new MAZ 4370 is 0.9-1.8 million rubles. Used options can be purchased for 0.3-1.2 million rubles.

A Belarusian-made cargo van is considered a real "legend" among automobile factories countries of the former USSR and is the first medium-tonnage onboard vehicle produced in the CIS. Today we will take a detailed look at all the technical characteristics of the MAZ Zubrenok, compare them with other similar models and find out why the truck has gained immense popularity in Eastern Europe.

Development flatbed truck began back in the early nineties after the collapse of the USSR, when all the countries that were part of the union began to rapidly increase own production and fight for a monopoly in the technology market. In 1999, the Minsk Automobile Plant introduced the MAZ 4370 van to the public with a small loading height and other characteristics that were considered revolutionary at that time. But the domestic product did not immediately go beyond the country, because due to the financial crisis and the lack of material support from investors, it was difficult to upgrade the truck to all world standards.

The hallmark of the "Zubryonok" is considered to be a unique understated frame

If we divide the history of the creation of the Zubryonok into two periods, then the idea of creating such a truck appeared back in the days Soviet Union when the Minsk Automobile Plant had appropriate financial injections and ample opportunities. Having become an independent country, Belarus faced financial problems and was unable to properly develop the domestic auto industry.

The second stage can be called cooperation with the German company MAN, which provided huge financial support to Minsk production. Basic to create new version MAZ 4370 became German MAN truck L 2000, presented in 1994. Thanks to close cooperation with a Western company, Belarusian engineers could not only receive funding, but also have access to the best Western technologies, and gain experience at leading automotive plants.

At the beginning of the 2000s, Russia and most of the neighboring countries were in dire need of quality trucks due to the increase in the number of traffic and poor transport links between the former republics. First of all, the main breakthrough of the MAZ 4370 was considered to be a wide cab and a new chassis, which allows carrying loads of almost any weight.

Zubrenok in Russia

Despite all the innovations and high carrying capacity, Russia began to buy a Belarusian truck only in 2003, simultaneously in two versions. Despite a large number of competitors, the van gained immense popularity among carriers and took a leading position in Russian market. As you understand, to overtake the intensively developing automotive production in the Russian Federation it was not so easy, because in the same period, such cars as the ZIL "Bull" and GAZ-3310 were presented by domestic factories.

Let's look at two types of Zubryonok modification for 2003:

MAZ 437040 standard model cargo van, which has the ability to move as part of a road train.
MAZ 437041 is a similar version with additional towing blocks.

The prototype MAZ 4370 was german truck MAN

Also on the territory of the Russian Federation, the MAZ 4370 was widely used as a tow truck, and even fire engine. Many carriers especially praise the flat underside of the truck, the spacious cab that can be customized to suit any purpose, and the comfortable driver's seat to keep you comfortable even on long hauls and transfers.

Specifications and modification options

As you understand, the Belarusian "Zubrenok" technical equipment almost indistinguishable Western cars. It is worth noting that these data are relevant only until 2005, and then the automotive production of developed countries, including Russia, has stepped far ahead! Nevertheless, MAZ 4370, even today, does not lose its popularity due to its relatively low price and quality characteristics.

One of the main advantages of the model is the low loading height, which facilitates the already difficult work of carriers. The ability to integrate into the composition of road trains also played an important role, increasing the speed of movement between regions and even countries. Thanks to the unique chassis, which was developed by German designers, on MAZ 4370, you can mount almost any technical equipment: tanks, building blocks, manipulators and various lifting devices.

The versatility of the machine attracts carriers and manufacturers in all areas, and additional "bonuses" from the Minsk plant ensure a constant influx of new customers. For example, when buying a truck, there is an option to install an extended cab and equip a special bed. Just below you can see a photo of the cabin inside and get acquainted with the options for turning a car into your second home.

Touching directly on the technical characteristics of the car, it is worth noting it compact dimensions, making up only 7800 mm. For this reason, Zubryonok is a rather dexterous participant traffic, easily rebuilding and moving even in emergency conditions. The standard length of the van is seven thousand mm, and the width is slightly less than 2,500. Wheelbase truck equals 3700 mm.

The spacious cab design allows up to three passengers, including the driver, to fit in. It is important to note that the total weight of the truck is about 10,000 kg., A total load capacity 6 thousand Max Speed, permissible for the carriage of goods, is equal to 100 km / h.

The van has four variants of modifications, each of which includes improved features, let's look at them in more detail:

Standard MAZ 43704 with a built-in engine that meets the Euro-2 standard.
MAZ 437040 with similar characteristics, but with a Euro-1 engine.
An improved version of MAZ 437043 with a new Euro-3 engine and advanced features.
The most best version MAZ 4370430, which has a built-in german motor DEUTZ ecological production, and working with the ZF S5-42 gearbox system.

Engine and fuel consumption

Probably the most pressing question that worries any driver is how much gasoline a car consumes. To begin with, it should be said that the total capacity of the tank is one hundred and thirty liters, and fuel consumption depends on the use and season. Based on consumer feedback, we can conclude that on average for winter months Zubrenok consumes about 23 liters per 100 km, and during the summer period no more than 18.

Speaking directly about the engine, it must be clarified that the Minsk plant was constantly improving its product and developing new versions of engines. To date, MAZ 4370 has four types of power plants:

MMZ D-245-540 using Euro-1 technology.
MMZ D-245 E2, corresponding to Euro-2 standards.
MMZ D-245 E3 using Euro-3 technology.
DEUTZ BF 4M 1013FC with Euro-3 technology.

Important! After the tightening of EU environmental standards, the Minsk plant no longer produces Euro-1 and Euro-2 engines, and all units manufactured by the Belarusian company must comply with Euro-3 standards.

If the last version of the engine is a “gift” from German colleagues, then the third type of engine was developed by Belarusian engineers on their own. The engine has quality system gas exchange and proper arrangement of working cylinders, allowing you to save space inside the structure. The mass of the unit is 450 kg and has a rated power of 157 hp.

You can purchase a cabin for two or three passengers

Despite more modern technologies german engine, in Belarus, he received less popularity. Its only advantage is the power of 170 hp and quality options to reduce the sound effects during operation.

additional characteristics

Additionally, the car is equipped with two types of transmissions and has a drum brake system. The Zubryonok wheels are protected by special tires 17.5 inch size with protectors.

Interesting fact: Initially, the MAZ 4370 package included Western-made Continental tires, but subsequently the Minsk Plant began to buy goods Yaroslavl plant I478.

As noted earlier, the cabin provides for the possibility of equipping a sleeping place for the driver by transforming the seat and cleaning it into the back wall of the truck. To better understand how it looks in real life, we recommend viewing the photo of the salon. A heating system is also installed inside the machine, which controls the temperature in winter and summer.

Concluding the review of the van, I would like to once again emphasize its main advantages: high-quality production and low price. On average, the cost of a truck is 1.5 million rubles, depending on the configuration, and the cheapest model will cost about 900 thousand. If we consider the option of buying a used car, then its price will not exceed 1 million rubles. Yes, today Zubryonok is no longer considered a revolutionary truck and is in many ways inferior to modern models Western manufacturers, but still continues to delight its owners with quality characteristics and ease of use.

Isn't it wonderful to be able to buy a Belarusian-German product that meets all international standards at a Belarusian price?

The production of MAZ-4370 trucks by the Minsk Automobile Plant began in 1999. In 2003, the car was recognized as the best in its class. This model was nicknamed "The Cub". The basis for the development of the truck was taken german car MAN L 2000 (at the same time, the carrying capacity of the Minsk product is twice as large). Initially, only foreign cab and chassis were installed on the MAZ-4370. However, its own chassis was subsequently created. The 5-ton truck differs from analogues in its low body frame, which facilitates unloading and loading. The model is designed for regional, suburban and urban transportation.

Reviews of the owners of MAZ-4370

Feedback from the owners of Zubrenka is mostly positive. Car owners praise the flat floor inherited by the MAZ-4370 from the German "progenitor", a comfortable and spacious cabin and a comfortable sprung driver's seat. All this allows you to carry out even long trips on a truck.

MAZ-4370, due to its high popularity, is produced in two versions. The differences between them are a slight difference in carrying capacity and in the length of the wheelbase.
The car is used not only as a carrier of various goods. MAZ-4370 is used as a chassis for tow trucks, dump trucks and other road construction equipment. The truck has medium dimensions and excellent maneuverability. The turning radius of the model is only 8000 mm, which allows you to feel confident in cramped urban conditions and on a busy road.

"Zubrenok" is distinguished by low cost and high build quality, which makes the car especially popular in the domestic market. IN Russian conditions MAZ-4370 feels very good, and its malfunctions are extremely rare. Received high marks chassis and a truck cab, and the funds invested in buying a car pay off pretty quickly.

The popularity of Zubrenok is also due to the fact that it is not inferior to foreign analogues according to technical specifications.

Among the problems, it is not the most convenient gear change that should be highlighted. However, drivers get used to the inconsistency in management pretty quickly.

Specifications

MAZ-4370 has compact overall dimensions:

length without trailer - 5500 mm;
length with trailer - 8200 mm;
width - 2550 mm;
height - 2850 mm.

For trucks with medium dimensions, the MAZ-4370 has a fairly large wheel

base 3700 mm.

The mass of the car does not exceed 4900 kg, which is the most important advantage, since many railway crossings and road structures are not designed for heavy weight. At the same time, 35% of the mass falls on the front axle, 65% on the rear. The wheels of the rear axle shaft are paired with each other, as they withstand heavy load. The permissible weight of the truck is 10100 kg.

The internal volume of the Zubrenka body is 35.5 cubic meters. The tires used for the machine are R17.5 or R20.

MAZ-4370 has a four-by-two wheel arrangement. Even when fully loaded, the car can accelerate to 90-110 km / h.

Fuel consumption

Fuel consumption basic version MAZ-4370 per 100 km is 18 liters, and fuel tank holds up to 130 liters of fuel.

Engine

The debut model MAZ-4370 appeared quite a long time ago, but the manufacturer has repeatedly upgraded the power plants, which allowed it to keep up with its counterparts. In different periods, the truck was equipped with various units:

MMZ D-245-540 ("Euro-1") was supplemented by a 5-speed gearbox "ZIL-659D";
MMZ D-245 E2 ("Euro-2") with "mechanics" SAAZ-3206;
MMZ D-245 E3 ("Euro-3") was used with the SAAZ-3206 checkpoint;
DEUTZ BF 4M 1013FC – imported engine("Euro-3"), supplemented by a foreign mechanical gearbox ZF S5-42.

Today, power plants of Euro-1 and Euro-2 standards are no longer installed on Zubrenok. The Minsk Automobile Plant uses only engines that comply with Euro-3 standards.

The most widely used 4-stroke 4-cylinder diesel unit MMZ D-245.30 E3, which is the development of Belarusian specialists. This power plant has high maintainability and reliability. The engine is equipped with a turbocharger, the cylinders in it are arranged vertically.

Technical characteristics of the motor MMZ D-245.30 E3:

weight - 450 kg;
rated power - 157 hp;
maximum torque - 580 Nm;
specific fuel consumption - 205 g / kW per hour.

Also, the DEUTZ BF 4M1013FC unit is installed on the MAZ-4370, similar to the MMZ D-245.30 E3 in many respects. Engine parameters:

weight - 560 kg;

ZF S5-42;
SAAZ-3206.

The latter is more rigid and has smaller gear ratios. In the ZF S5-42, switching is carried out without sharp clicks and rather softly.

The car is rear-wheel drive, which creates additional advantages, taking into account the specifics of work and the purpose of this special equipment.

The suspension of the Zubrenok is a little harsh, since ordinary springs are used in the rear and front of it, made in the form of stacked metal sheets. Its main advantage is simplicity. The service life of the springs reaches 300-400 thousand km.

The design of the MAZ-4370 uses a drum brake system, which includes two main working elements - a drum and brake shoes. They are driven by a pneumohydraulic system.

The body of the Zubrenka is low-framed, which makes it possible to transport fairly large loads with a high height without issuing permits. Installation of an awning and other equipment is possible. Minsk Automobile Plant offers MAZ-4370 with platforms equipped with manipulators, concrete mixers, truck cranes and other special tools.

The cabin of the MAZ-4370 deserves special attention, which stands out for its peculiar configuration. It is spacious and comfortable. The truck is equipped with a 3-seater (without a sleeping bag) and a 2-seater (with a sleeping bag) cabin. The latter allows you to make the road more comfortable. The sleeping place is folding and, if necessary, is removed in back cabins.

Another important advantage of the "Zubrenka" is the equipment with an electrically adjustable stove. This equipment makes the car comfortable for winter transportation. Due to the low location, climbing into the cab is quite simple. Additionally, handrails are installed, allowing you to quickly and easily climb inside.

For the most part technical parameters MAZ-4370 is in no way inferior to foreign competitors. At the same time, the model has cheaper and more affordable parts.
