How much does a MAZ bus cost?

The cost of MAZ buses (MAZ-215, MAZ-226, MAZ-101, etc.) depends on the configuration, type of engine (Belarusian production or foreign brands), the presence of additional components (air conditioning, built-in kitchen, lighting). Some modifications have been discontinued and replaced by improved second-generation models. The rental price depends on the time the car is used and the quality of the buses.

You can purchase equipment directly from the manufacturer or through dealers. The price of a new bus at the factory is lower than that of intermediaries. Purchasing modern models allows you to take advantage of warranty repair services and order additional equipment. The model range of the company's bus fleet is available from intercity (MAZ-231062) and city buses to models operating between airport buildings (MAZ-171075).

Externally, the MAZ 4371 was practically no different from the MAN L2000. Moreover, the first batches of the Minsk product received a German chassis. However, then its own chassis was created. They began to install a new cabin on it.

For a long time, the MAZ 4371 was considered one of the most advanced trucks. However, car owners criticized the car even then. For this technique, headlights made in China and characterized by low power were used, so the lighting of the model was rather weak. Experienced drivers replaced this element immediately after purchase.

In general, reviews from MAZ 4371 owners indicate that the car is a good alternative to foreign analogues. The model is highly reliable and durable and is perfectly adapted to the Russian climate and roads. In the category of medium-duty trucks, the equipment fully meets the needs of the market.

MAZ: Minsk alternative - Autocentre.ua

When creating this bus, the designers set themselves the task of unifying it as much as possible with the 5-ton Zubrenok truck (MAZ-4370). This made it possible to reduce the cost of the car and reduce the cost of maintenance and repairs. A frame structure body is installed on the base chassis frame.

It is noteworthy that it is lined with plastic panels not only on the front and back, but also on the sides, as well as on the top. This eliminates the problem of corrosion and ensures the durability of the body. The panels are attached to the frame using special glue.

The MAZ-256 can be produced both in a tourist version and in a version for urban and suburban transportation. The last one

we chose for our test drive.

Outside

The appearance of the bus makes a good impression. Pleasant modern design, light, unobtrusive colors. Large windows with glued glass attract attention.

The bottom edges of the door windows are flush with all the others, forming a solid line that slopes gently toward the front. This gives the car a complete look and dynamism.

Lighting technology is in the spirit of current fashion: in front and behind there are different-sized round lampshades; The headlights are also equipped with lenses that enhance the light

bun.

At the bottom of the sides, along their entire length, there are large folding hatches. There are three of them on the left, and, as it turned out, behind them were hidden a fuel tank, an autonomous heater and a receiver, as well as a spare wheel. And on the right there are two luggage compartment hatches - an inheritance from the tourist version of the bus. The same is the origin of the trunk in the rear wall of the body - not deep, but wide. Note that all covers in the raised position are fixed by gas-filled shock absorbers,

and when lowered, they are locked with a key.

There are small round hatches on the front and rear bumpers: towing devices are hidden behind them.

Inside

MAZ-256 is a vehicle on a frame chassis, designed not only for the city, but also for the suburbs. It cannot, and should not, be low-floor. There are two steps leading into the salon, and boarding is easy: the bottom step is located just 360 mm from the ground. Wide door opening (650 mm) and

comfortable handrails also contribute to this.

The first impression of the salon is a lot of air and light. The internal height is more than two meters. Large side windows reach to the ceiling, the upper half of the rear panel is solid glass. It can’t be stuffy in the cabin: there are large ventilation vents in the windows – just enough for a person to crawl through. A

There are two ventilation hatches in the ceiling, they are also emergency hatches.

The 600mm wide central aisle is sufficient for commuter and light urban routes. But for work during peak hours it is narrow - you need to order here

different interior layout.

The driver's workplace is well equipped. There is an air-suspended chair installed here, and you can change not only the height of the seat cushion, but also its inclination. When adjusting in the longitudinal direction, the seat travel is insufficient - for drivers of shorter than average height it is advisable to move it closer

to the pedals.

The tilt angle is adjustable over a wide range, with a floor pedal located on the left, near the clutch. But the depth of the column, despite assurances from company representatives that this was possible, could not be adjusted.

The front panel consists of several parts, which simplifies access to the equipment located behind it in case of service and repair. Every part

It is secured around the perimeter with screws that are easy to reach.

On the run

While preparing for the test, we did not know what engine was installed on our bus. The fact is that the MAZ-256, although developed on the Zubrenok chassis, can be equipped upon request with a 170-horsepower Deutz Euro 3 turbodiesel. However, it was not possible to test the Belarusian with a German “heart”. Our bus had a 156 hp diesel engine. With. from the famous D-245 family,

meeting Euro 2 standards.

The Minsk diesel engine pulls, you just don’t have to be shy about revving it up: it “wakes up” at the equator of the tachometer’s green zone – after 1500 rpm. In fifth gear at the top of the green zone - 1800 rpm - the car accelerated to 75 km/h. Obviously, this is her cruising speed on the highway.

The fact is that, unlike the tourist version, there is a different gear ratio in the rear axle, designed not so much for high speed as for high traction. However, when overtaking we went beyond the 90 km/h mark. Still, I would like the engine to be more powerful. During peak hours, with our “full load”, i.e., like herrings in a barrel, this would improve the dynamics of the car. Minsk diesel is noisy in operation.

At idle speed, excessive vibration is observed: in particular, through the “jumping”

In the interior mirror, little could be seen.

The steering wheel is light, although at 80 km/h on the highway it was sometimes necessary to steer slightly. Probably, gusts of side wind had an effect. The pedals are soft and obedient. The brakes of the car are grippy, they are taken at the beginning of the pedal stroke. By the way, all MAZ-256

have ABS system as standard.

Although the bus is built on a truck chassis, the suspension did not seem overly stiff to us, even when not fully loaded. During the test, we came across a section of road that was being repaired. The suspension “swallowed” holes in the asphalt with sharp edges and quickly damped the resulting vibrations. As we found out, springs

and the shock absorbers were specially modified for the bus.

Thanks to the large mirrors and large glass area, all-round visibility was excellent. The only thing missing was additional mirrors for observation

behind the road directly next to the wheels.

Today the Minsk Automobile Plant is increasing the production of “two hundred and fifty-sixths” - up to 30 such buses leave the factory gates per month. While it's big

Some of them remain in their homeland, but they may also be in demand in Ukraine.
