Ukraine: AutoKrAZ donates 8x8 truck to Ukrainian army

AutoKrAZ has donated a 8х8 KrAZ-7634НЕ cab-chassis truck to the Ukrainian army. The 27-tonne cab-chassis truck is used for conversion to a vehicle equipped with heavy special equipment. Unlike its predecessors, it is provided with a more powerful engine rated at 460hp and automatic transmission with maximum torque rated at 2500 N/m. At the customer’s request, two 165-liter round fuel tanks are provided instead of two rectangular 350-liter ones.

The vehicle length is 8,08 m and the minimum outside turning radius is 14 meters. The 1st and 2nd axles are steerable; all four axles are driven. Integral power steering helps decrease steering effort to 10 kgf, thus easing the driver's fatigue. Height of ergonomic low mounted cab is 2800 mm (for reference, the cab height of the 8х6 KrAZ-7140Н6 is 3,17 m); this makes possible the mounting of various special equipments on the cab roof.
