MZKT 741351

A new model for civilian consumers was presented in May 2019 by MZKT. This is a three-piece road train MZKT 741351 with a GCVW of up to 211 tonnes. In fact, it is a demilitarized version of a giant tank hauler, created by the factory under the special order of the UAE Armed Forces.

There aren’t a lot of differences with the military version. MZKT 741351 received a non-armored cabin, there is lack of brackets for personal weapons and a lockable closet for backpacks inside. The hatch was left, but it has no fasteners for the machine gun. Color is also civilian — branded black and white.

MZKT 741351 is equipped with a 6-cylinder Caterpillar C18 marine turbo diesel engine with a power of 812 hp, as well as an Allison M 6620 AR automatic transmission with electronic control (the number of gears forward / backward is 6/2). Both the engine and gearbox are made in the USA.

The road train consists of a semi-trailer and a trailer. It can carry up to 136 tonnes of cargo at a time, and its GCVW reaches 211 tonnes. The curb weight of the tractor (without a semi-trailer and trailer) is about 29 tonnes.

It is assumed that the main buyers of the new model will be oil and gas and large construction companies.
