707195 1:72 MAZ-537G Late Production type with MAZ/ChMZAP-5247G semitrailer
The MAZ-537 is a 12-cylinder
diesel engine-powered military truck artillery tractor manufactured by MAZ
(Minsk Automobile Plant) a state-run automotive manufacturer in Belarus. They are capable of towing MBT (Main Battle
tanks) in the Russian Army.
The first prototypes of the
MAZ-537 were built in 1958 and series production was launched in 1960. The new
vehicle incorporated an engine developing 525hp at 2100rpm-a very high figure
for that time. Even armored vehicles and
tanks had fewer hp. Many significant
changes were made in the fuel supply, cooling system and lubrication which made
a complete redesign of the engine compartment covers and louvers necessary.
Nearly all components of the frame and chassis were reinforced as well
increasing the total weight to 21.6tons (total gross weight 87tons) allowing a
load of up to 50 tons to be towed.
The first series of the MAZ-537 remained in production in Minsk until
1964 before it was shifted to Kurgan Factory as was done with the MAZ-535
before.
