Once it was UAZ
I remember how at the beginning of the 21st century my UAZ, stuck in a treacherous swamp, pulled out a UAZ-TREKOL. Then it was just space technology – the huge wheels of the all-terrain vehicle seemed to give him a feeling of complete permissiveness. And he also swam!
TREKOL – stands for TR ansport EKOL ogical, hinting that it does not injure the soil with its low pressure tires.
Since then, a lot of water has flowed under the bridge. The lineup has changed, but in some places UAZ roots are still visible 🙂
Let’s take a closer look at the new model of the six-wheeled all-terrain vehicle TREKOL VEGA 6×6
Although it is not directly new, but is a development of the TREKOL 39294 model. It’s just that the company decided instead of a fiberglass body to return the duralumin body, which is more familiar to our people. The body, of course, is insulated. The insulation is reinforced polystyrene foam 50 mm thick.
By the way, the weight of an all-terrain vehicle with a duralumin body does not differ from the weight of an all-terrain vehicle with a fiberglass body and is 2900 kg.
All-terrain vehicle dimensions:
In width, the all-terrain vehicle fits into the permitted dimensions for driving on public roads. So that he can move along them (with reservations for tractor-type machines)
TREKOL is known for its low pressure tires. She develops them herself and sells them herself.
Several models of TREKOL tires with a diameter of 1280 to 1350 mm can be installed on the VEGA 6×6 all-terrain vehicle. Due to the large volume of air in the tires, the all-terrain vehicle can overcome water obstacles (floats).
True, he swims slowly, because he moves only due to the rotation of the wheels, but for 135 thousand. conventional units, you can install a jet propulsion unit driven by an engine.
Tire inflation is centralized from the cab.
The central tire inflation control knob is located to the left of the driver’s seat.
The interior of the all-terrain vehicle is eight-seater.
Two people are in the front seats, six more are placed on the longitudinal sofas.
Sofas can be expanded, and then you get a large bed.
The interior of the all-terrain vehicle is constantly being modernized.
Compare the dashboard of the all-terrain vehicle of the previous previous generation TREKOL 39294
And the dashboard VEGA 6×6
The dashboard itself is borrowed from GAZelle Business.
Usually, people who first see the driver’s seat of the VEGA 6×6 all-terrain vehicle immediately ask:
I answer: the left one turns on the differential lock, the middle one turns on a lower gear range, and the rightmost one turns on the third axle. After all, the VEGA 6×6 all-terrain vehicle has permanent four-wheel drive only on two front axles, the rear one is connected in “severe cases".
Do you recognize bridges?
Yes, these are UAZ ones, like ” Timken “. True, TREKOL claims that they radically alter the bridges: they strengthen the axle shafts and stockings, install wheel gears of their own production, bringing the total gear ratio of the bridge to 8.97
The all-terrain vehicle has two transfer boxes. Both of them are GAZ, but just as heavily redesigned.
Under the hood is a Hyundai D4BH diesel engine with a capacity of 100 hp. and a torque of 230Nm.
Although, if you need a more budget option, then you can choose a model with a ZMZ-409 gasoline engine, with a power of 128hp. and a moment of 209.7 Nm.
Usually, such an all-terrain vehicle is made for a specific customer, with an agreed list of additional options. The production time for the VEGA6x6 all-terrain vehicle is approximately two months. Production is located in the city of Lyubertsy, Moscow Region.
The price of an all-terrain vehicle in the basic configuration with a diesel engine is 4 million 150 thousand conventional units.
