In 1997, the car production was launched.under the name MAZ-5440. This car was originally designed as a truck, carrying out commercial transportation for any distance. This engineering brainchild and will be discussed in this article.
MAZ-5440 was created by Minsk specialists.However, German specialists from the MAN concern were also involved in the development of the car. Since 2000, the Minsk Automobile Plant has begun to produce an improved model, which was assigned the index A8. The novelty has received a high degree of comfort, excellent endurance, resistance to the harsh conditions of our roads, unpretentiousness and relatively low cost. All this summarily provided the truck with great popularity in the consumer environment. In general, the car received a fairly large number of new technological solutions, thanks to which it received a certificate of quality in the Russian Federation without any problems.
MAZ-5440, photo of which is given in the article,equipped with a reinforced suspension, and therefore the car easily overcomes poor quality roads and other obstacles in its path. In the case of competent operation of the machine, all its components and parts can serve for a very long time before overhaul. In addition, the operation of the tractor showed that its maintenance does not require large material costs, and this, in turn, led to a large number of cars sold.
МАЗ-5440, по сравнению со своими зарубежными analogs, has one, but a significant advantage - the relative availability of its price. In addition, the truck is fully compliant with Euro-3 standards. The machine is often used as a road train for intercity and international freight.
Technical characteristics of the MAZ-5440 are as follows:
Nominal capacity is 14.85 liters.
MAZ-5440 (a photo of the tractor will allow to study itappearance) has a fairly modern cabin. The parameters of its convenience and aerodynamics are very high. The front of the car received a finish in the form of durable plastic, which, in turn, made it possible to significantly reduce the weight of the structure. The presence of huge side mirrors provides an excellent overview of the surrounding space on the sides of the truck.
For the comfort of the driver his seat is equippedair springs with additional settings. Also in the cabin there are two beds. The instrument panel has a beautiful design and an optimal degree of ergonomics. The chaufferable climate in the cabin is maintained by a special system. Glasses of doors of the tractor are equipped with electric lifts. In the presence of a tachograph, on-board computer, audio system.
As for the brake system, the MAZ-5440 hasprimary, secondary and backup systems. In this case, the front and rear wheels can be braked separately from each other. Be sure to present and parking brake.
The described tractor also has negativeparties. So, in particular, drivers express their claims to the gearbox, which cannot be used in the “overturning” mode, because in this way it could be easily incapacitated. The demultiplier is recommended to operate at a speed of 20 km / h. It is strictly forbidden to include a rear overdrive. The spars and crossmembers of the truck are subject to cracking.
