KrAZ-6510: a brief description of the car

Kremenchug automobile enterprise wasIt was built more than 80 years ago and at first was engaged in the production of aviation equipment. However, during the Second World War, many of the factory 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 the 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 will consider its characteristics and methods of application.

Appointment

This truck serves to fulfill enoughlabor-intensive 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.

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

At the request of the customer, the engine may beis equipped with 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.
