UAZ-452D is a Soviet representative of the UAZ-452 family of trucks, produced in 1966-1985. It has a two-seater cabin and a wooden body. It was developed to replace the corresponding models of previous families of trucks - UAZ-450D and UAZ-451D. Since 1985, the car has been called UAZ-3303. The UAZ-452 family on paper was born simultaneously with the 451 family, became its logical continuation and structurally had much more in common with rear-wheel drive cabovers than with all-wheel drive 450s. The new all-wheel drive family inherited from the 451 platform not only the layout, but also a number of updated units. If modifications of the UAZ-450 were equipped with an adapted Pobedov engine, then, starting with the 451 model, it became possible to equip Ulyanovsk cabovers with a lighter and more powerful engine from the 21st Volga, which also underwent a number of minor design changes. The power unit of the ZMZ-451 model differed from the GAZ-21 engine in the design of the rocker cover, oil pan, mounting brackets for the front engine support cushions, thermostat, water drain valve from the cylinder block and, as stated in the operation and repair manual, “some normalities” . Otherwise, it was the “21st” engine, well known to car enthusiasts in the country, with a displacement of 2445 cm3 and a power of 70 hp. Sometimes in technical documentation this engine was designated as “UAZ-451”, but this kind of confusion stopped in the fall of 1969, when the production of power units for UAZs of the “451” and “452” families was mastered by the Ulyanovsk Motor Plant, which a year earlier had been renamed from the Ulyanovsk Small Car Plant engines. From that moment on, the engines were designated UMZ-451. A more powerful engine required a more “flexible” gearbox - the three-speed gearbox used on the UAZ-450 did not allow rational use of the dynamic resources of the Volgov engine. Therefore, during the development of the “451” family, Ulyanovsk designers created a four-speed gearbox, which was also inherited by the second generation of cabover all-wheel drive vehicles. An interesting detail. The designers were so carried away by achieving optimal weight distribution along the axes that, when moving the engine back, they missed an important point: the fourth cylinder ended up under the rear wall of the cab in trucks and under the partition separating the cab from the transport compartment in vans and minibuses. Access to this fourth cylinder remains a signature headache for drivers and mechanics to this day. But, as intended, there is much more space in the cabin for the driver and passenger. The radiator, which moved back and down along with the engine, freed up space in the front part of the cabin, which ultimately made it possible to move the air intake of the cooling system to the lower part of the front panel, and install a heater under the dashboard. In addition, the gearbox and transfer case control levers were moved from the rear of the hood to the tunnel between the front seats. Of course, the main distinguishing feature of the “452” family should have been the transfer case and front drive axle. In relation to these units, Ulyanovsk designers showed prudence and foresight. Back at the turn of the fifties and sixties, when the architecture of a cargo-passenger jeep was just being laid to replace the GAZ-69, the future UAZ-469, it was decided to unify as much as possible the transmission parts of two branches of promising Ulyanovsk SUVs - multi-purpose cargo-passenger vehicles and cabovers. By the time the UAZ-452 family was created, drive axles unified with the UAZ-469B had already been developed (a version without wheel gears was used) and a two-stage transfer case. The chassis and body, compared to rear-wheel drive cabovers, have not undergone any changes on second-generation all-wheel drive models. It should be taken into account that shortly before the start of production of the 452s and 451s, they were modernized: they received reinforced springs (which made it possible to increase the load capacity of rear-wheel drive trucks to one ton) and clutch, which were automatically inherited by the new SUVs. The result was an extremely simple, reliable and maintainable car, perfectly suited for use on Russian “directions” that replace our roads. The only inherent disadvantages of the new model were “gluttony” and the inherent low passive safety of the cabover design. Designers E.V. worked on the “452” project. Varchenko, L.A. Startsev, M.P. Tsyganov and S.M. Tyurin. The first running models of cars of the new family began to be built in 1960. To begin with, the body of a UAZ-450 van was installed on the UAZ-451D chassis, and it was this hybrid that became a “stand” for assembling all-wheel drive units. At the end of the year, the first all-wheel drive running sample of a sanitary van with a “450A” body passed factory tests in Central Asia. In 1963, factory tests of prototypes of the entire family were completed - the UAZ-452 van, the UAZ-452D truck and the UAZ-452A ambulance. OGK began preparing the documentation necessary for production. Then, over the course of three years, the design was “finished”, the vehicles passed interdepartmental and state tests, and OGK designers created the first specialized modifications - UAZ-452AS (sanitary van for the North) and UAZ-452DP (export truck with right-hand drive) . In 1966, the plant mastered the mass production of three main models of the 452 family, which received an updated front exterior with a trapezoidal radiator grille (the prototypes had the exterior of the 450 family). In 1971, the cars received a modernized UMZ-451M engine, the power of which increased from 70 to 75 hp, and the service life increased from 120 thousand to 150 thousand km. mileage In 1976, the Ulyanovsk Motor Plant became part of the AvtoUAZ production association, and in the same year the UMZ-451M engine was awarded the State Quality Mark. Cars of the 452 family did not undergo significant external changes during their production - only in the second half of the 70s did larger mirrors begin to be installed, moving from the front panel of the body to the doors. In addition, at the end of the 70s (presumably in 1979), the UAZ-451 and UAZ-452 families received new lighting equipment that complied with the current UNECE rules - the front sidelights received an orange section, the FP-100 rear lights were replaced with original rectangular lights form FP-132, for which it was necessary to slightly change the stamps of the body panels at the rear of buses and vans, and for buses and vans, in addition, side turn signal indicators appeared immediately behind the front doors. In May 1966, the car was awarded the VDNKh gold medal.

Most of the trucks from Ulyanovsk rolled off the assembly line in khaki colors and drove along our roads in a variety of shades of green.

The beginning of work on three-axle all-wheel drive vehicles dates back to the late 60s - early 70s of the twentieth century. The experimental UAZ-452DG received an original transfer case, introduced into the design due to the addition of a third drive axle. The new box provided permanent drive to the rear axle and the ability to synchronously connect the middle and front axles. Pushing forces and the perception of reaction torque in the rear suspension were transmitted through springs and two torsion bars.

Work on three-axle all-terrain vehicles was curtailed by the automobile plant due to a significant decrease in traction and speed characteristics and an increase in fuel consumption with a relatively low increase in cross-country ability. Surprisingly, the experimental UAZ-452DG, in a slightly modified form (pictured), survived until at least 1996 as an in-plant transport.

The UAZ-452P truck tractor was built on the basis of the all-wheel drive UAZ-452D (also non-serial at that time and still having the exterior of the 450 family) - instead of an onboard body, a bracket for a spare wheel and a subframe with a fifth-wheel coupling were mounted on the vehicle frame.

In total, at least three cars were built. Factory tests of vehicles with semi-trailers were carried out from January 15 to June 9, 1962. The operating time of each road train was about 4,000 kilometers. State tests of UAZ-452P tractors with semi-trailers were carried out in Moscow from July 20, 1962 to January 20, 1963. The cars were not put into mass production.

Belaz 452 and Trekmaster - under these names they tried to sell the UAZ-452 in various modifications on Western markets in the 1970s - when oil is not very expensive, our homeland needs other sources of foreign exchange earnings. Not very many of these BelAZs were sold, but one of them even appeared in the relatively recent film “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory” as a police van.

Thermos and refrigerator: UAZ presented new versions of the Pro lorry

It’s been a while since we thought about the UAZ Profi light truck, which appeared on the market about a year ago. Ulyanovsk semi-trucks are still seen infrequently on the roads, but they continue to acquire new modifications. In the summer, the Pro with a “manufactured goods van” body was introduced, and now an isothermal body has been added to it, which also requires the installation of a refrigeration unit.

Like conventional manufactured goods booths, isothermal bodies are available in two versions - Standard and Optimum. Their external dimensions are the same (3100x2160x2015 mm), but they differ in design.

A pro with an isothermal van in the Standard version costs at least 920.5 thousand rubles and has an internal volume of 11.7 m³. The Optimum option, which is 30 thousand more expensive, has a smaller body volume - 10.8 m³. But this is due to thicker walls and, as a result, a better ability to maintain temperature.

Loading height of all versions - 1048 mm

The Pro can also be equipped with a refrigeration unit from Elinzh. In summer, it is capable of operating in freezer mode, cooling the body to -20 degrees, and in winter, on the contrary, warming the cargo to +12 degrees. Unfortunately, the presence of a refrigeration unit on board excludes such a useful option as air conditioning in the cabin. Prices for a Pro with a refrigerator start at 1 million 86 thousand rubles.
