BAZ » 69506

BAZ 69506 is the prototype of the special flatbed chassis with a payload of 14 tonnes, developed for military purposes. It was a part of a second series of the range "Base-1". The main purpose of its development in such a bad moment in a heart of democratic transformation was connected with necessity of replacing twin-engined BAZ 69501 with a new model. After a devastating fire in the engine facility of KamAZ factory, the company stopped deliveries of engines to BAZ. That's why engineers decided to return to many years ago and use an old YAMZ diesel, which had been installed previously on BAZ-135MB.

So, BAZ 69506 with a plastic cabin got a 300 hp tubocharged diesel engine YAMZ-238N with a new pre-heater, 8-speed gearbox and a transfer gearbox. Top speed was reduced to 60 kph. Fuel consumption was also reduced to 56 l/100 km, while range was increased to 1036 km. The main units were similar to BAZ 69501. BAZ 69506 passed military tests, but never went to service.
