Yamal » V-4

In 2012, YamalSpetsMash from St. Peterburg began production of a 2-axle articulated offroad vehicle Yamal V-4. According to the engineers, the offroader is able to become one of the main vehicles used today in the conditions of the Russian Far North for servicing gas pipelines and extinguishing fires.

Yamal V-4 is specially designed to transport people and goods in the conditions of broken roads and offroad on over-wetted and weakly bearing soils of taiga and tundra. Perfect offroad ability on the delicate tundra surfaces is provided by special wheels with ground pressure of 300 g/cm2. Thanks to this, the Yamal V-4 can be a more effective replacement for tracked vehicles, which are currently the main transport in the northern regions of the country.

The six-cylinder diesel engine YMZ-536-30, which produces 310 hp and 1240 Nm, is used as the power unit. It is connected to a semi-automatic gearbox, which has 4 speeds forward and 4 speeds backward. ATVs are equipped with Belarusian-made cabins from MAZ-MAN trucks, although the plant used to buy KAMAZ cabin modules.

In the beginning of 2019, YamalSpetsMash showed a special version of the Yamal V-4V A-20, which received a passenger body. It has already been handed over to the customer in Kamchatka.
