GAZ "Ermak": photo, technical characteristics

The development of machine building is a very important part of the modern economy. With the release of new instances, you can improve the performance of all others. It is this issue that the GAZ plant is engaged in. In 2011, he introduced a brand new car that could meet the needs of agriculture in trucks.

New truck

The company introduced a new family of cars - GAZ "Ermak". The total weight of these trucks can vary from 3.5 to 6 tons. It all depends on the field of use.

For the first time the car was presented to potential buyers at the "Agro-Tech" exhibition in 2011. The name of the event itself indicates the area that the new GAZ will occupy in the consumer market. The designers are planning to develop and launch a longer version of the machine in mass production. All in order to fully meet the needs of the agricultural market segment. This is a unique specimen with a high load capacity, which makes it a favorite among other techniques of this class.

Scope of use

GAZ "Ermak" is a medium-tonnage vehicle intended primarily for the village and performing all work related to the economy. It can be called a direct descendant of all the favorite "lawns" of GAZ-51 brand, as well as 53 and 55. The latter continue to the present day to serve in the countryside and carry out transportation of various agricultural products. Such a transport is ideal for small farms, as well as for individual farmers who need a specialized car to deliver their products to consumers.

Modifications

At the moment, there are only three models of the GAZ car "Ermak", the technical characteristics of which differ little, but nevertheless these machines are designed to carry out several different tasks.

1. A car with a full mass of 3.5 tons, as well as a wheel arrangement of 4x2. This version is equipped with a diesel engine with a working volume of 2.8 liters. The main purpose - use as a personal vehicle, as well as to work on small subsidiary and farming.
2. The second option is a 6-ton GAZ Ermak. Its characteristics differ from those of its predecessor. This car has a 3.8 liter engine. The car is used mainly for various transportation. In addition, he showed himself well when working at large, as well as medium-sized agricultural enterprises and various types of farms.
3. The third option has an increased level of patency, differs in wheel formula and scope of use. GAZ "Ermak" 4x4 has, like its predecessor, a total mass of 6 tons and the same motor in 3.8 liters. It is mainly used for tasks in large farms. The presence of additional models makes it possible to use such transport in the same chain with other agricultural machines or aggregates. Due to the increased level of patency, this machine can be used on land with loose soil. All this is possible due to the installation of a full drive on the GAZ "Ermak", connected from the driver's cab, as well as the presence of locks on the rear axle.

The principle of modularity

New GAZ "Ermak" stands out among all its predecessors, as well as fellow cabins module. This engineering component has long been known in the Russian market, as it was used in other models of the GAZ company - in the Gazelle, as well as in a car called Valdai. But the designers slightly changed the hood of the cabin. The plug-in module was created from scratch. This combination makes the new GAZ "Ermak" very similar to all previous models of all favorite "lawns".

Interior design was originally planned to take from another model and not develop a new one. This time, the "business-Gazel" turned out to be a "donor". Such design has proved itself only from the best side. A high-quality material with a high level of wear resistance was used. It is not subject to deformation at various kinds of mechanical influences.

The undercarriage on the all-wheel drive version was also borrowed. So, the transfer case was taken from the Sadko all-terrain vehicle. The difference between these two nodes is only in the shift knob. In the car GAZ "Ermak" it is more ergonomic, it is executed taking into account all modern requirements and conditions.

Motor

The main modules are borrowed from other company models, but not the motor. Initially, GAZ "Ermak" sets power units of American-Chinese production. It was necessary to replace the low-power engines of past generations. The weak point of their was switching from the second transfer to the third. In this case, many remember the characteristic crunch and screech.

Many of those who managed to test a new car, and also have already acquired it for personal use, note the excellent work of the power plant. At the moment, there are no complaints from owners on diesel engines. Most praise is the Chinese version, which comes in two versions: for a 3.5 ton version with a capacity of 120 forces, and for a 6-ton version with 152 liters. from.

Cost

The main task set for designers is to create the most affordable car for various farm enterprises, regardless of their size. The manufacturer promises that the cost of the most affordable truck will not exceed the mark of 600 thousand. This figure can not but rejoice, since its predecessor GAZ-3309 with similar characteristics is available for 685-700 thousand. For those who want to buy a budget vehicle, the most optimal choice will be GAZ Ermak. The photo of the 3.5-ton version is presented below.

Public opinion

GAZ "Ermak" - an excellent car, which needs a Russian village. This is exactly the option that was lacking until today. And this question was raised quite sharply. Thanks to the new truck, the company managed to close the segment of small domestic agricultural machinery.

As a defect is worth noting the use of purchased power units and transmission. This somewhat increases the final cost. It would be great to develop a domestic diesel engine, which is suitable for working in similar conditions.
