UAZ - "nekonveyernye" development (35 pics + text)

In the memory of the majority "UAZ" - a poor set of "brain twisting", "goat", "loaves" and "tadpoles", which are more familiar and loved by our military and police. However, in the 60 years of the twentieth century the trucks and vans terrain from Ulyanovsk called «Volga-UAZ» enjoyed a certain success with the representatives of the European agricultural small businesses. One example of this - the company brochure "Skuld-Volga", issued to farmers zealous Denmark.
But here the story goes not about export options "UAZ" and about
machines that are never mass-produced, or have been made
very small experimental batch.





In July 1941, a Moscow automobile "ZIS" (now - "ZIL") in Ulyanovsk
We sent a group of experts for organizing assembly production
engines and trucks "ZIS-5." By May 1942 the assembly "ZIS-5" was launched, and
production itself received the name "Ulyanovsk branch N4 VMS" or
"UlZIS." But war is war, and to think about the future, too, need. In 1943
Ulyanovsk designers were tasked to develop promising
truck. In May 1944 g.byl assembled the first prototype diesel
truck, named "UlZIS-253." This 3, 5-ton diesel truck on
fuel economy, dynamic qualities are not inferior to the American
"Studebaker", has been praised by experts, but for various reasons,
inherent in wartime, in the series did not go.



At the end of 1944 at the Ulyanovsk plant ceased the production
"ZIS-5" (transmission equipment in Miass), and began to make "lorry»
"GAZ-AA". Designers Ulyanovsk not sitting idly by October 1950
presented a new "polutoratonny" small truck "UAZ-300", which was
It equipped with a four-cylinder 50-horsepower engine from the "Victory" and the new
a four-speed gearbox. Streamlined hood lining
radiator wings good harmony with all-steel cab type GAZ-51.



But in 1950 Ulyanovsk plant were ordered to establish
production "GAZ-69" - the first "goats." This fact has put
Cross on the project "300". But with the "69th" to "UAZ" experimented.
For example, work was carried out to increase gruzopodёmosti «goat»
by alteration thereof in the tractor. This version of a semi-trailer designed to "UAZ", could carry up to 2 tons of cargo. This project was code "456".



By 1955. "UAZ" officially specializes in manufacturing light-duty road vehicles. Then start working on the design and commissioning of the production of cargo and passenger car line-up wagon, received index "450".



Prototype "UAZ-450" was the first emblem of the letter "Y", stylized tea. Factory wags have called the emblem and its media "Magpie".



Even after the start of production, "loaf" in 1957 continued
development upgrades on the new chassis. For example, a "favorite»
uazovtsami "two-ton" truck tractor version with an isothermal van
design "UAZ" (now it's called "freezing").



Comrades recently admired "vezdehammerom" crawler.

But the idea of ​​engineer in Creggs HHveka start, had continued in his designs "UAZ" in 1962.



A friend of mine who has lived a long time in the Khanty-Mansi Autonomous
District testified that it was on "UAZ-451-D" 1965, Hrachia tracked
go Tyumen electrical touring the taiga and test lines. In the summer,
respectively, placed in front a couple of rubber tracks.



End of test modifications "UAZ-450" coincided with the beginning of work on "UAZ-456" (his prototype in the background).



In 1959, the designers of "UAZ" have begun work on creating a replacement "GAZ / UAZ-69" and, for a start, tried to create a modification of the "69" th.



1965: new "goat" index "UAZ-469" begins to take us to the usual features. However, the radiator grille has a different view, and on the hood side
nalichistvuet "civil" chrome nameplate with some name. By
top 70 new "UAZ" is ready to embark on a conveyor.



End of the 70s: commissioned by the War Department begin work on the construction of a floating army ATV.



New Army all-terrain vehicle has received an index «3907»

With excellent "seaworthy" properties "UAZ-3907", named "Jaguar", for testing in the steppe conditions in 1985, not to draw attention to the appearance on public roads, on their own in the water swam a few days from Ulyanovsk to Astrakhan.



"UAZ-3907 / Jaguar»



In 1980. work began on a new family of off-road family "UAZ-3170 / Simbir" which dozhen have had both military and "civilian" subsistence.



"UAZ-3171" - a two-door version of the Army with a soft canopy. 1981.



In the suburbs remained one copy of "UAZ-3171" 1988goda adapted for off-road competitions.



Four-door version of the "Simbir" in the early 90's has received an index «3172»



The military option "UAZ-3172" was traditionally a soft canopy.



Civilian version of "UAZ-3172" - an indoor five-door wagon.



"UAZ-3172" civilian.
In addition to permanent all-wheel drive and a long-stroke spring suspension,
an arsenal of new vehicles was verified Ulyanovsk weapon - Portal
bridges. And if "3171" establishes the familiar "war»
bridges of UAZ-469, for the "3172 the first" models have been developed with external bridges
final drive gearing, gears, increasing ground clearance (in standard rubber) to the heroic 330 mm. Plus, the design of the new bridge was originally incorporated the ability to install a hard block cross-axle differentials. It seemed that everything was just great. But then came the Great turmoil - and state
funding ran out. As a result of a car by 1992
the last complete cycle of state testing, and have not seen
assembly line ...



In the mid-80s it was planned to produce light-duty vans Kirovobad. Initial development of us were transferred to the "UAZ". The result was a project of the van "UAZ-3727".



In the hope of fraternal Poland pluchit license foreign diesel project "UAZ / KiAZ-3727" was handed over to the production of the Poles and got there the name of "Lublin". Issued on this day.



1987-89 year. In the Caucasus, the excitement begins and almost built factory "KiAZ" is virtually useless. To design low-tonnage van was not lost in vain decided to transfer production to Bryansk, and achievements of designers uazovsky taken for recycling to the English design firm «IAD». As a result, the design documentation of a new van back from the UK to the Soviet Union at the "BASE" and "UAZ" under the symbol "BAZ-3778." "UAZ" donated his set of documentation on the "gas", which formed the basis of design "Gazelle".



By the beginning of the XXI century there is a need to create a new van that would come to replace the "half a century" "loaf." It was a project "UAZ-3165 / Simba."



Then the car instead of the optics of the VAZ "tag" received "firm" lights on "The Patriot."



At present "Simba" quite tolerable interior.



It is a pity that on reaching the mass production of "UAZ-3165" will be again obsolete ...



But this military modifications "Simba" Obsolescence is not threatened. Her campaign, nothing shines. For it is - a prototype "dizelelektrohoda" combines sickly dizelёk leading front wheels and rear electric powered mass of lead batteries, even layer occupying the entire floor of body minivan. Svezhachok 2007 ...



With respect to "civil" "Patriot" it's pretty clear that even such attempts to stylize the design of "UAZ-Patri .." under the "Chevy Blazer" likely to remain at the level of individual fantasies.



Well, the curtain - fancy party design studios on the future of "UAZ».
In particular, it is - flat-modular "UAZ" from the studio "Cardy»



Another view of the layout unmarketable "Cardy»



And this is - a fantasy on the theme of "goat" on the scale of 1/5 of the design studio «RAD» (ie a "Russian car design").



"UAZ-RAD» - recognizable front view.
Well, everything in it!
