The small-tonnage truck UAZ "Cargo" with a plug-in all-wheel drive is intended not only for transporting goods, but also for transporting them through difficult off-road areas. Since both the carrying capacity of the UAZ Cargo and the size of its cargo platform are much smaller than the Gazelle ones, it is not a competitor to the Gazelle and Sobol (another model was conceived for this purpose - the UAZ Profi). However, UAZ "Cargo" is able to say its weighty word where excellent cross-country ability plays an important role. In this, neither the Gazelle nor the Sobol (including their 4x4 versions) can even come close to being compared with the UAZ.

commercial vehicle off-road UAZ "Cargo" was created on the basis of the UAZ "Patriot" SUV. As a result of rather long research developments in Ulyanovsk, they decided not to reinvent the wheel and stop at the most objectively simple and least expensive option. Cabin and chassis simply represents a serial UAZ "Patriot".

The chassis of the UAZ "Patriot" was extended to three meters, a cropped single-row cab was installed on it, and behind it was a cargo platform with a wooden floor and metal sides from. (Or, the same thing - from the good old UAZ-). A simple and logical option, which has been produced since 2008 and is updated in synchronism with the base model - Patriot.

I must say that the UAZ "Cargo" is not the first in history or unique in its kind modernization of the Ulyanovsk off-road vehicle to the format of a light truck. The idea to equip a passenger UAZ with a full-fledged cargo platform from a “tadpole” truck has been traced back to the mid-90s. During this dashing time, the UAZ-2315 model was developed, but it did not reach mass production.

The next attempt to do something like this technical task"was undertaken by the Ulyanovsk Automobile Plant in the early 2000s. On the platform of the new SUV UAZ-3160, a light-duty truck of the UAZ-23608 model was developed, which was successfully demonstrated at the shows "MIMS-2002" and "-2003". It was assumed that the owners of "loaves" and "tadpoles" would willingly want, when updating their equipment, to transfer from the old and uncomfortable design of 1960 to a modern and comfortable car.

However, buyers continued to “vote in rubles” not in favor of the new and convenient UAZ-23608, but in favor of the Spartan and antique, but cheap “loaf”. The high price that resulted in this vehicle, did not allow him to gain popularity and wide distribution.

UAZ "Cargo" is a completely different matter. Here it has already been possible to bring together comfort, wide functionality, and a competitive price. This four-wheel drive commercial truck took in model range Ulyanovsk Automobile Plant is a place between the UAZ "Patriot Pickup" and the 1.5-ton UAZ "Profi". For an adequate price, the owner receives comfortable lounge, quite roomy body and real four-wheel drive.

Design features of the UAZ "Cargo"

From a technical point of view, UAZ "Cargo" is a typical product of the Ulyanovsk Automobile Plant. It's a two-door and two-seater freight car with constant rear wheel drive and hard-wired front-wheel drive. The modern interior of the UAZ "Cargo" is fundamentally different from the budget cabin "loaves" and "tadpoles". In addition, the front suspension with Elastogran-BASF components provides very decent comfort when traveling on any, including unpaved, roads.

Currently, the UAZ "Cargo" truck is mass-produced in various modifications: with an onboard cargo platform, in the form of a body or with an awning; with food isothermal van; with manufactured goods van; as a universal chassis for mounting various superstructures.

Appearance of "Patriot" ovskoy "semi-cabin", with metallic colors, with powerful and harmonious optics, overlays and shields, pleases with smooth lines. Its comfortable interior, although cramped at first glance, fully meets the expectations of modern consumers and even exceeds them.

An impressive 6.7 cubic meters of space under the awning allows you to transport bulky structures. If necessary, you can unlace the awning and expose the "extra" centimeters of pipes or lumber out in front or behind. Only the UAZ Profi can compare in terms of the volume and weight of the transported cargo with the Gazelle: there is a 1.5 t load capacity and 10.5 cubic meters of volume (which is more than in the Gazelle Business and only half a cube less than in the Gazelle Next").

UAZ "Cargo" inherited from UAZ "Patriot" front bumper, which may not be painted in body color, to reduce the cost of the cheapest car equipment. The location of the rear-view mirrors remains the same, but the design of the holders has changed. side mirrors mounted on an elongated bracket to increase rear visibility. This is done so that the driver has the opportunity to maximize the rear view, because there is no rear-view mirror in the passenger compartment.

UAZ "Cargo" trucks are equipped with injection engines Zavolzhsky Motor Plant ZMZ-40906. It is a proven, reliable, high-torque engine, demonstrating long-term and flawless operation in all weather and operating conditions. It is possible to install on it gas equipment. However, it does not terrify the consumption of gasoline: real indicators- 14 liters per 100 km in the urban cycle and 12 liters - on a suburban highway. But if you use all-wheel drive, the consumption will be greater. work electronic system the ignition is controlled by the upgraded control unit MIKAS-11. The engine runs on gasoline with an octane rating of 92.

These are improved engines that are equipped with German-made INA hydraulic tensioners. The decision to use them was forced, since the chain sometimes broke on the previous modifications of the UAZ Patriot.

During the tests, it was found that the chain break is due to the insufficient quality of the hydraulic tensioners. In this regard, Ulyanovsk car factory Decided to change provider. Due to the fact that the hydraulic tensioner made in Germany is smaller in size than used in the past, it was possible to create an adapter that retains the design of the original parts of the power unit.

• Engine displacement: 2.693 l;
• Maximum power: 128hp (94.1 kW), at 4600 rpm;
• Maximum torque: 209.7 N.m, at 2500 rpm
• Max speed, set by the manufacturer- 135 km / h.

Talks about equipping UAZ Cargo trucks with diesel engines (for example, the Iveco F1A engine, which some Patriots received) have not yet turned into concrete actions. This requires the modernization of the truck frame (front spars), along with the development of a new frame engine compartment, development new system cooling, development of a new exhaust system exhaust gases… In this regard, the timing of equipping the UAZ Cargo with a diesel engine remains uncertain.

The ZMZ brand engine works in conjunction with a mechanical 5-speed gearbox imported from China called "Dymos". The same brand on the truck and transfer case. She is two-tiered. There are UAZ "Cargo" also with the domestic UAZ razdatka. The front wheels are equipped with ventilated disc brakes; rear - classic drum.

Cabin UAZ "Cargo"

One of the main advantages that the owner of the UAZ Cargo acquires is a high level of cabin comfort. Like basic models UAZ "Patriot", the truck cab is equipped with seats from the Korean SUV "Ssang Yang Rexton". These are very comfortable car seats with a wide range of adjustments, with comfortable headrests, lateral support and lumbar support.

True, there is an insignificant and insignificant “fly in the ointment”: since the seats were not originally designed for this model, the lever for their adjustment is pressed by the door. Therefore, it will not work to make adjustments while driving: this can only be done with the door ajar.

Dashboard- "patriotic", made of inconspicuous, but high-quality plastic. The soundproofing of the interior is excellent. In addition to the hood and engine compartment, the bottom of the truck is also trimmed with soundproofing materials. For cars of this class, the level of sound insulation deserves an excellent rating. On long trips, fatigue does not occur at all.

This will be especially appreciated by those who have driven tens and hundreds of thousands of kilometers on “loaves”, and (or) have experience of long-distance (300-500 km) trips on these obsolete cars. It's really hard physically! After such a trip, the whole body hurts, it makes noise in the ears ... UAZ "Cargo" provides the driver with truly royal conditions. Annoying noises and vibrations in the cabin occur only when traveling at a speed of 120 km / h and above. This machine is still not adapted for such speeds. If you go 90-100 km / h - almost complete silence in the cabin.

Landing in the cab is high, providing the driver with good visibility. The presence of large rear-view mirrors on large elongation brackets contributes to confident control of the situation on the road.

Convenient on the truck and the pedal assembly. Working with the pedals does not require unnecessary stress: unlike the "tadpole" and "loaf", on the UAZ "Cargo" all the pedals are located on the same level. At the same time, there is free space to the left of the pedal assembly, which is useful for changing the position and resting the foot. The steering column is adjustable.

The minus of the UAZ Cargo cab is the complete lack of free space. Both the driver and the only passenger can be accommodated comfortably, and there is a place to put documents, all small things (except for the glove compartment, there is a drawer between the seats). But even a small bag or outerwear will have nowhere to attach if two people go on a trip.

In order to "break" the sad statistics of sales at UAZ, they decided to beat off part of the audience that uses GAZelles.
For this, it was announced that in 2017 it will be released new modification UAZ Cargo with a carrying capacity of one and a half tons.

Of the announced innovations: The drive is only for rear axle, which in turn will change. The cabin will be triple. The wheelbase of the car will increase, and the cargo platform will also lengthen.

The cabin has become a triple (although it is designed for thin passengers)

Disks and hubs from GAZelle

Front suspension from UAZ Patriot. Only instead of the crankcase of the bridge - an ordinary pipe on which the steering knuckles are installed.

Rear axle from GAZelle

Oversized body 3,040 x 1,880 x 1,550 mm. (For reference, the internal dimensions of the body of the short-base Gazelle are 3,056 x 1,978 x 1,565 mm).

In this variant new UAZ Cargo is unpromising. Let's see what Ulyanovsk will show on a serial copy.

First industrial design UAZ Cargo 2017 was captured in Ulyanovsk in February 2017.
He hit the camera lens of Ivan Sedov, who shared his photos via Facebook.

This instance is again in all-wheel drive. Although there should definitely be a mono-drive version, but so far it has not come into view.

The cabin of the new UAZ Cargo features smaller headlights, a larger grille and a different bumper. Obviously, the new "muzzle" is simpler and cheaper to manufacture the current one.

The motor will be ZMZ-409, but its power will be increased by changing the valve timing and increasing the compression ratio.

There are rumors that the new UAZ Cargo, together with the Patriot family, will receive an imported diesel engine, Chinese BAIC Yuchai YC4Y with a volume of 2.2 liters. Or maybe it will be an Indian mHawk from Mahindra, also with a volume of 2.2 liters. But for now, these are just rumors.

At the beginning of April 2017, UAZ announced that the new Cargo would be released in late May, early June 2017.
Around the same time, documents with the type approval of the vehicle became available, from which you can find out the following:

The release of an all-wheel drive and comfortable truck by the Ulyanovsk Automobile Plant became a real sensation. After all, now the owner of a UAZ car gets two in one: comfortable and cozy lounge, as well as a large-sized body that allows you to place various types of cargo in it. UAZ Cargo is based on the UAZ Patriot and has absolutely identical specifications. If you need a car to transport goods, then UAZ Cargo is an excellent solution. We learn all the details about the all-wheel drive light-duty car UAZ Cargo.

The first small-tonnage UAZ Cargo rolled off the assembly line back in 2008, and it was then that it was given the serial name of the model - UAZ 23602. Few people know that the UAZ Cargo truck is now produced in three different versions:

• onboard, with an awning;
• with a food truck;
• with a goods van.

The new UAZ Cargo is designed not just for transporting goods, but for transporting them over difficult off-road areas. The carrying capacity of the car is 725 kg, but few people pay attention to the figure indicated in the car's passport.

The wheelbase of the SUV was increased to 3 meters, which made it possible to increase the usable space up to 6 cubic meters. More often this model an SUV can be found in farms, in towns or villages, where it is almost impossible without such a car.

Characteristics external

In addition to the frame and suspension, UAZ Cargo inherited from the Patriot and the cabin, which can accommodate one passenger and driver. Reviews about this car are mostly positive. Powerful optics were also inherited from the Patriot, which makes it possible to well illuminate not only the road, but also off-road areas.

The new UAZ Cargo inherited the front bumper from its predecessor UAZ Patriot, the color of which can be: body color or plastic color (black). This was done purposefully to reduce the cost of a cheap car kit. Due attention should be paid to the side mirrors, the location of which remains the same, only the design of the holders has changed. Side mirrors are now mounted on an elongated bracket, which increases rear view. This is done so that the driver has the opportunity to fully inspect the rear view, because there is no main rear-view mirror in the passenger compartment.

There are two seats in the cabin, which are supplied by a Chinese company. Ssang Yong. Such seats allow you to provide a full-fledged comfortable ride on the road over long distances. Unfortunately, such a defect as the impossibility of adjusting the seats during movements was not eliminated on the new cargo SUV. This defect passed to him from his founder UAZ-3163, in which the situation is similar.

The new UAZ Cargo did not receive a modification of the dashboard, which was adopted from the Patriot. The panel is made of inconspicuous, but high-quality plastic. The entire panel is exactly the same as on the UAZ Patriot SUV, so you won’t need to get used to anything new.

In the basic version of the Cargo, the power windows are mechanical, that is, they function by manually opening / closing the windows. On a more expensive configuration of this model, there are already electric windows, as well as seat heaters, a climate system and wipers for cleaning the headlights.

The parameters of the new cargo UAZ are as follows:

• body length: 250 cm;
• body width: 193 cm;
• the volume of the cargo compartment is 6.4 m3.

It is also worth noting that the SUV body is covered by canvas material and a frame base. If necessary, these elements can be removed by first unlacing the rope.

Technical specifications

The new UAZ Cargo truck is equipped with a powerful 16-valve gasoline engine with 4 cylinders. The power of the car is 128 Horse power, which is enough to be able to move with cargo in off-road conditions.

Engine brand ZMZ-409, the volume of which is 2.7 liters, as in the Patriot. At a speed of 90 km/h. fuel consumption is 12 liters per 100 km, and in all-wheel drive mode, consumption increases even more. But all the same requirements remained, due to the use of all-wheel drive only when necessary.

The specifications of the 4x4 truck are impressive as it has a 5 speed gearbox imported from China called Dymos. A similar company is also equipped with a transfer case on the UAZ Cargo SUV. The presence of a step on the bumper of the car previous generation showed that it does not fulfill the assigned tasks, and in the updated body, the manufacturers abandoned it.

It is on this modification of the UAZ that it is most convenient to build.

The general technical characteristics of the cargo UAZ are on the official website of the company, so we will not focus on this.

In addition to all of the above, one important feature should be noted, which is due to the abolition of the need to leave the car in order to turn on all-wheel drive. The driver does not need to leave the cab in front of the ford to turn on the clutches. They are always on, and to turn on the front additional drive there is a special lever in the cabin, with which the differential is turned on. In addition, on the instrument panel you can find an indicator that allows you to control the operation of the all-wheel drive.

Various test drives of this model were carried out. cargo SUV, on which UAZ Cargo showed its best side. The technical characteristics of this car allow us to say that it is an indispensable unit in any farm, for which the release of this model was actually oriented.

You can check your CBM and reduce it if needed!

New UAZ truck

Not so long ago, the Ulyanovsk Automobile Plant began producing small-sized trucks with all-wheel drive UAZ Cargo (see photo). Its body structure and technical characteristics are the same as those of the famous UAZ Patriot. But what are the advantages and disadvantages of this light truck? This was found out with the help of a test drive of one of the samples, which was provided by the car factory.

Many from the time Soviet Union familiar with UAZ vehicles. The plant in Ulyanovsk has been producing small trucks with all-wheel drive for a long time. Probably, there is no such person who would not be familiar with the UAZ-3303 model (“tadpole”). Although the car has been produced for many years, its appearance and specifications have not been upgraded. This is due to the high performance level, the strength of the body and chassis, as well as simple maintenance and affordable price.

What is UAZ Cargo

UAZ started production of a new type of small truck in 2008. The serial name of the model is UAZ 23602. The truck has 3 different modifications:

• with open cargo compartment;
• with a closed cargo compartment;
• without cargo compartment(for trailer).

The car is primarily designed for long-distance transportation of goods in difficult areas and off-road. Its load capacity is 800 kg. Cargo is often acquired by companies specializing in the transportation of goods, farms as well as residents of rural areas. Thanks to its modern design, the truck has become widespread even in neighboring countries.

Your attention is an overview of the car with a closed cargo compartment. The external outlines of the UAZ 23603 strongly resemble the UAZ 3303. It's no secret that new car inherited from the UAZ Patriot only the front part of the body.

Externally, the truck is almost completely similar to the models of the previous generation. Among the structural modifications - increased wheelbase, which is 3 m. This made it possible to expand the volume of the UAZ Cargo cargo compartment.

External characteristics of the model

Parameters UAZ 23206

With modern design new truck received predominantly positive reviews. Cargo inherited powerful optics from the Patriot, which goes well with grille dark color. In order to reduce the price, the finishing plastic on the body is made in dark colors. Side mirrors are located on elongated brackets, which allows you to increase rear visibility.

The new model truck has a double saloon. Just like the Patriot, it has modern Ssang Yong Rexton headrest seats upholstered in fabric. They provide comfort during long trips. The only negative is the lack of adjustment during movement, since the seat handles are clamped by the doors. That is, it is necessary to open the door to adjust the position of the seat.

The UAZ 23602 pedals are located at the same height, to the left of the clutch there is free space where it is convenient to put your foot. The dashboard and side inserts are made of nondescript, but high-quality plastic. The dashboard is very reminiscent of the Patriot instrument panel, including the placement of the ventilation controllers.

Doors have special pockets for things. True, between the chairs and behind them there is no free space for large packages or bags. More expensive equipment The car includes improvements such as power windows, seat heaters, climate control and headlight wipers.

The length of the truck body is 250 cm, width - 193 cm. The total volume of the closed cargo compartment is 6.7 m 3. The tarpaulin awning is fixed with a frame and a rope by lacing.

Specifications

Main characteristics of the machine

The truck has a 16-valve 4-cylinder petrol engine. Its power is 128 hp. from. at 4400 rpm, and the torque is 218 Nm at 2500 rpm.

Engine capacity - 2.7 liters, there is a fuel injection distribution system ZMZ-409.10. The Patriot is equipped with the same engine. Its only drawback is the huge fuel consumption, given that the car has all-wheel drive.

UAZ Cargo has a 5-speed manual transmission, which is produced at the Korean enterprise Dymos. The design combines a transfer case with a gearbox.

The new truck has a step on the bumper, which should provide convenience when carrying out repairs. But this moment was poorly thought out by the designers, so it is difficult to maintain the engine from this position.

The small-tonnage truck "UAZ Cargo", aka UAZ-23602, began to be produced in Ulyanovsk in 2008.

A car with a double cab was created on the basis of the Patriot, but differed from it by an increased wheelbase of up to three meters and a reinforced rear spring suspension. The rest of the truck was similar to the SUV: gasoline ZMZ engine volume of 2.7 liters and a capacity of 128 liters. from., five speed box Dymos gears and four-wheel drive with a hard-wired limber and reduction gear. In 2010, the model got a version with factory gas equipment.

"UAZ Cargo" with a declared carrying capacity of 815 kg was offered in two versions: chassis and flatbed truck. Prices for the model started at 350,000 rubles.

The production of the model stopped in 2011, but in 2013 Cargo again got on the UAZ conveyor.

In 2014, following the Patriot, the truck received an updated exterior and interior design, in the range power units a turbodiesel with a volume of 2.2 liters (113 hp) appeared, and the power gasoline engine increased to 135 forces. Electromechanical control transfer case UAZ Cargo did not get it - the car still had traditional levers. Passport carrying capacity of the car decreased to 725 kg.

Another upgrade in 2016 brought the model an updated interior, a single fuel tank, extended selection of options (in basic configuration a driver's airbag appeared), a rear differential lock offered for a surcharge.

In 2017, the price of a UAZ Cargo in the basic configuration with one airbag, power steering and power windows was 767,000 rubles. A truck with ABS, air conditioning and radio cost 839,000 rubles.

The production of the model ended in 2017 after the launch of a more heavy-duty truck "
