MAZ 2000 "Perestroika" (1988) - a prototype of the main truck features original modular design: the front features a large part of the units - the engine, gearbox, axle and steering. If necessary, any of the "passive" was replaced by a similar set of trucks units, allowing you to build the trains of any length and capacity.

In the autumn of 1988 at the Paris Motor Show, this construction has been much appreciated, but the production of a prototype and did not hit for obvious reasons.
Let's find out more about it ...

No other car in the history of the Belarusian Automobile Plant, which would cause such a strong interest in the truck MAZ-2000 "Perestroika". He has become a true symbol of the free and creative thought Belarusian designers and symbol as many now think, missed opportunities of the plant and the country. That is not surprising. After all, this car was created only as a "concept car" for the Soviet truck industry, and it so happened that he was ahead of his time, at least 50 years.
03
For the first time spoke about the MAZ (yes as a conspiracy!) In October 1988, after the show at the Paris Motor Show. The world was literally shocked original designs Minsk designers, and quickly set up of the car is another symbol - the symbol of the unfolding of perestroika in the USSR. Although the developers of this "character" now argue that the word "perestroika" fully reflects the essence of the new items is a technical and not a political situation and, consequently, the party nomenklatura conjuncture of time.

"Perestroika" is a vehicle called also because the car and the trailer can be easy to "restructure" the needs of the carrier - to change its length, the capacity of the power plant, capacity, etc. All this became possible thanks to the modular build system trains. Even technically poorly trained person would understand that the MAZ-2000 with a completely packed for the end of the 80's design is very different from any other truck, even in our time. But after talking with the designers trained person involved in the development of "perestroika", it can be concluded that not all the secrets of this machine is known even among experts. That's what was reported at the Minsk Automobile Plant, "This truck - front-wheel drive, but without the constant velocity joints. The front axle is located between the engine and transmission. The floor of the cab completely flat. " And it's a few years before the famous statement on the conveyor Magnum!

Specifications:
length - 14900 mm
weight - 12t (projectiles.), 33t (Full.)
maximum speed - 120 km / h

In the early 90-ies in the United States and Japan have been sold licenses for modular road trains. But nowhere has this idea is not embodied in production cars. The main obstacle, typical of all new, - the resistance of the old system. In this case, for efficient use in the economy of these trucks require restructuring of the entire infrastructure of cargo, as well as long-overdue changes in European standards regulating technical requirements for trucks.
Designers "MAZ" argue that many of the ideas first used on MAZ-2000, are embodied in the nodes and details now produced on an assembly line MAZ-6430 / 5440. About the "perestroika" have not forgotten. They say that it is on the move and can "touch it", so that from this machine will long to learn.
08
The basic idea of modular design, embodied in the "perestroika" was not to build the power of the motor, depending on the weight of the cargo. It is - in trailer units with their own engines. Lucky, for example, the machine is 20 tons - in her trailer with one single-engine, 120 tons - 6 trailers with six engines; and they all operate synchronously. So "composition" can go for example, from Brest to Vladivostok as a normal train, and on the road at certain "stations" one-terminals "trailer-wagon" decouple, the other - hook. That is "MAZ-2000" much ahead of his time not only "hardware", but the very idea of freight by road.
09
Today, by the way, when discussing the establishment of a transport corridor from Europe to the Far East, the idea of a transcontinental tractor that 2000 was "MAZ" in general, and is perhaps revived.
"MAZ-2000" ("Perestroika") was established in the amount of two units and was not intended for mass production. Both the "perestroika" are now in the territory of the Minsk Automobile Plant, and one car - on the go. The mass of technical ideas and solutions of the machine used to create a new generation of "MAZ", which today goes into production.
