KrAZ-6510: a brief description of the car

Kremenchug automobile enterprise was built more than 80 years ago and first engaged in the production of aircraft. However, during the Second World War, many of the plant's buildings were completely destroyed and subjected to long-term restoration. After the war, the country was in great need of construction equipment, and the management decided to redesign the plant into a car manufacturing enterprise.

Since 1959, mass production of trucks has begun. In this article we will talk about one of the brainchild of the plant - a car KrAZ-6510. We consider its characteristics and methods of application.

Appointment

This truck is used to perform laborious work related to the laying and repair of the roadway, it is also involved in construction sites, in the process of transporting a variety of goods, garbage or other bulk materials. Very often it is actively used in quarries. Good cross-country made the KrAZ-6510 indispensable even in hard-to-reach places. In addition, the machine can also be used in all climatic conditions. She is not afraid of either the tropical or northern climate, since she easily withstands frosts of -45 degrees and hotter than +50 degrees.

Modifications

KrAZ-6510 began production in 1991, its production does not stop and to this day. Today, the manufacturer offers the consumer two models, one of which is standard, and the other is of the "Miner" type. It should be noted that any of the variants of the machine is characterized by a high degree of patency. The truck is not afraid of either impassability, or roads with a loose cobblestones.

Engine Features

The characteristics of the KrAZ-6510 will be full, if we consider its motor in detail. Immediately notice that the power indicators of the machine are simply impressive. The car is equipped with a very reliable and unpretentious in maintenance eight-cylinder carbureted V-engine YaMZ-238M2, which, in turn, is produced at the Yaroslavl Motor Plant.

At the request of the customer, the engine can be equipped with a pre-heater, which allows you to start the engine without any problems, even in severe frosts. In addition, additional heating of the fuel supply system is possible. The engine is not equipped with a turbocharged supercharger, and therefore does not have any outstanding dynamic performance. However, all the same, the KrAZ-6510 can accelerate to a speed of 80 km / h, which is a very good result for a heavy truck.

Transmission and brakes

The truck is equipped with a five-speed manual transmission, which functions in conjunction with a two-speed transfer case of a mechanical type. The car uses a dry two-disk clutch. KrAZ-6510, whose photo is shown in the article, has a two-circuit pneumatic braking system. The main brakes are drum-type and equipped with inner shoe. Also, the truck is equipped with parking brakes and a system with a pneumatic drive throttle type. In addition, the machine has ABS. Both the rear and front suspension are dependent. They are mounted on leaf springs of a semi-elliptical configuration.

Technical specifications

KrAZ-6510 (the technical characteristics of the car are sufficiently balanced by many criteria) is a very popular truck.

This is largely due to its performance:

• The capacity of the fuel tank is 165 liters.
• The machine is able to overcome the rise of 30 degrees.

Driving cab

We consider the truck is equipped with a very spacious cabin, which, however, has significant drawbacks. To begin with, the level of comfort in it leaves much to be desired. According to many drivers, it is very hot in summer and cold in winter. At the same time, in the cold, even the heaters in the car can not save. Extremely unsatisfactory answer about the degree of noise and vibration.

Even experienced drivers get used to the size of the car for quite some time. In this case, the obstacles located directly in front of its hood, the person sitting behind the wheel, just can not see. The car's steering wheel is equipped with a powerful hydraulic amplifier to facilitate the control of a large truck.
