Repair and service Ural cars in the eBook
Ural trucks are legendary Russian vehicles designed to overcome off-road conditions, transport heavy loads and work in harsh climatic conditions. These all-wheel drive vehicles are widely used in the oil and gas industry, construction, the army, logging and utilities. Due to their unpretentiousness, maintainability and excellent cross-country ability, Ural vehicles have earned a well-deserved reputation as vehicles that can be trusted.
History of the Ural brand
The Ural Automobile Plant (UralAZ) was founded in 1941 in the city of Miass in the Chelyabinsk region. The plant was a response to the need to create powerful military trucks that could work in frontline conditions. Already in the post-war years, the Ural brand began to produce civilian equipment, but always retained military endurance and reliability.
Today, UralAZ is part of the GAZ Group and produces a wide range of models: from classic all-terrain vehicles to modern Ural Next trucks with an improved design, cabin and digital control systems.
Advantages of Ural equipment
1. Cross-country ability
Ural vehicles are initially designed as off-road trucks. They are equipped with all-wheel drive (4×4, 6×6), a high frame, large wheels, a system for disconnecting axles and the ability to overcome fords, snowdrifts, sand and marshy terrain.
2. Simplicity and reliability
The design of the trucks is as simple as possible, which makes them ideal for operation in conditions without service. Almost all units can be repaired in the field, and spare parts are available throughout Russia and the CIS countries.
3. Multifunctionality
The Ural chassis can be equipped with:
- dump bodies
- shift vans
- crane-manipulators
- fire-fighting units
- drilling rigs
- mobile workshops and kungs
4. Adaptation to climate
The machines can operate in a temperature range from –50 to +50 °C. All systems are adapted to Russian conditions: pre-heaters, insulated cabins, reinforced rubber joints.
5. Modern solutions
Ural Next models received an improved cabin, a YAMZ Euro-5 engine, a modernized transmission and a dashboard with digital elements. This improves driver comfort and overall vehicle reliability.
