Earlier this month the Russian GAZ Group at the 2015 Construction Equipment and Technologies expo in Moscow introduced the monster, the ultimate off-road truck, Ural Next. The very same name announces what we should expect from him, and that’s quite a lot, we admit it! Next generation of an off-road trucks!
We bet that you would like it, he is a beast with improved ergonomics, improved user-friendly human-interface and advanced body configuration. The front axle load is increased from 5.3 to 6.5 tons and the rear axle payload is pushed to 13 tons which make the truck gross weight at 22.8 tons! And the drive train is capable of moving amazingly 38 tons when trailer is attached and meanwhile eating trees in the unreachable terrains!
The truck is powered by the YaMZ 536 diesel inline 6-cylinder engine with three possible configurations of 240, 285 and 312HP and increased torque for 1.4x times. The rumors say that this beast can produce 900lb-ft of torque, fact which not didn’t surprised us. Just play the video bellow and you will see why!
It is worth just to be mentioned that the power is transferred to all the six wheels through the 9-speed automatic ZF gearbox. Everything else needs to be seen!
