Ifa multicar 25: technical specifications (ifa multicar 25)

Sometimes the past comes back to us. On the roads, especially far from big cities, you can find the German-made IFA Multicar. The GDR is a country producing a small, compact truck with a diesel engine. It is no coincidence that the IFA Multicar interests us. We want to find out the capabilities of the “long-liver”, technical characteristics. Find out the basic requirements for a trailer. Read the reviews of the owners and find out the possibility of purchasing it at the moment.

General information

The German car IFA Multicar photo, which is in the article, has already rolled off the assembly line of the IFA Multicar company. At the peak of its fame, about 10,000 trucks came out of the factory assembly line per month. Almost 100,000 units. Before the start of the Olympic Games, held in the USSR, 20,000 units of German equipment were imported, which to this day work and are found on our roads despite the retirement age.

At that time, the IFA Multicar 25 was equipped with a compact two-seat cabin with an excellent control panel. Compact and maneuverable, it could squeeze into any alley or street in a city or town. The turning radius was only 5 (five) meters.

The German IFA Multicar truck characteristics , which we are about to consider, was designed on a station wagon platform, where it was possible to install various types of equipment. The versatility of the model is evidenced by 20 (twenty) variants of its execution. The IFA Multicar truck, the cost of which is posted on the Internet, was produced as a van or a bulldozer.

A crane was often installed on it. Used as a dump truck. IFA Multicar price photo, which is available in sufficient quantities on the Internet, was equipped with a 2.0 liter diesel power unit with 45 selected German horses. Now about this in more detail.

Municipal vehicles

Deliveries of IFA Multicar 25 to the USSR began almost immediately after the start of production. One of the main areas of application of the machine was public utilities. Quite a lot of cars were delivered to Moscow utilities for the 1980 Olympics. Deliveries quickly increased, and by 1983, more than 4,000 vehicles of various modifications were in operation in the Soviet Union.

A large number of attachment options made the vehicle a universal tool for working on city streets at any time of the year. The M 25 could perform almost all types of utility work.

IFA Multicar 25, truck modifications

The equipment in question was produced in only two modifications:

1. Truck model M 2501.
2. Compact small truck M 25L 02.

It should be noted that there was practically no difference.
The design, wheelbase and powertrain are like twin brothers. The only thing that distinguished them was the loading platform. For the IFA Multicar model M 2501, thick sheet steel was chosen as a platform. This made repair work easier. It was dismantled very quickly. The IFA Multicar had one feature: a simplified procedure for loading and unloading various cargoes. This was possible thanks to the simple and quick opening of the rear and side doors. At the same time, the design of the fastening of the sides was simple, reliable and well thought out. We deliberately do not focus on the exterior and interior of the truck, believing that this part of the equipment is not of interest today. For those interested in the “interior” of a cabin designed for two passengers, we recommend searching for videos on the Internet.

"Multicar" of the 21st century

After the reunification of Germany, the IFA factories ceased to exist as a national enterprise. After the privatization and modernization of the model range, the production of cars under the Multicar brand resumed. This is the only example of the survival of a car company originally from the GDR in the new united Germany.

From 1992 to 2010, the plant produced the Multicar 26 model with Volkswagen and Iveco diesel engines. Externally, the car was not much different from its predecessor. At the same time, in 2001, the production of completely new “Multicars” of the Fumo, M27 and Tremo models with independent front wheel suspension and powerful Iveco diesel engines was launched. The main area of ​​application of the machine is public utilities. The number of elements to equip these machines exceeds 100 options and is constantly expanding.

Technical characteristics of IFA Multicar 25

The IFA Multicar characteristics we are considering were equipped with a small four-cylinder diesel power unit with a capacity of 45 l/hp.
This was quite enough for the baby, because his weight was 1750 kg. Naturally, the use of diesel fuel as fuel made it economical. Close ties between the two states and an established system for the supply of spare parts ensured their stable price. Made the renovation work a smooth process. model range we are considering consumed only 8 liters of fuel per 100 km on a combined cycle. Speed ​​capabilities were limited to 50 km/h on the speedometer.

Dimensions:

• length – 4240 mm;
• width – 1850 mm;
• height – 2000 mm.

Judging by the data, the truck could easily fit in any garage. Dimensional data gives reason to talk about its compactness and maneuverability. Especially when it comes to moving within the city.

The IFA Multicar characteristics we are talking about were very durable and easily tolerated increased loads. It was as if the German comrades had created it for our roads. The “hodovka” was simply unkillable. IFA Multicar model photo, which is posted on the World Wide Web, is equipped with a trailer with a ground clearance of 26 cm.

This distance from the ground made it easy to move along country and dirt roads, to overcome holes and potholes. The IFA Multicar photo model, which is available on the Internet, was fitted with standard 13-inch wheels. If it was necessary to increase ground clearance, wheels of larger diameter were used.

The IFA Multicar trailer model M 2501 in question could take on board up to 1200 kg of various cargo. The trailer was especially valued among the rural population, on collective farms, farms and small industries.

Transmission

The car was equipped with a four-speed manual transmission and a cardan drive for the rear axle. To perform work with attachments, the gearbox had a separate slow gear. The gear ratio was selected by a set of gears in accordance with the characteristics of the attachment. The rear axle had a mechanical differential lock, which improved cross-country ability on roads with poor surfaces.

The passport carrying capacity of the IFA Multicar 25 was 2000-2300 kg and depended on the type of body. In practice, the car could carry much more. There were frequent cases of machine loading up to 3000-3500 kg without consequences for the structure. The vehicle could tow a single-axle trailer with a load capacity of about 800 kg and a two-axle trailer capable of carrying up to 2400 kg.

IFA Multicar owner reviews

The owners' opinions are clear. It is not a ghost wandering our roads. A legendary truck made in Germany from the last century still moves along them. There are many advertisements on the Internet for the sale of this equipment. If there is supply, then there is demand. When selling IFA Multicar, photos are posted without fail. You can see in what condition, at least externally, the proposed truck is. There is an official dealer in the Russian Federation that supplies and sells this equipment. Now the IFA Multicar model range will be represented by M27 and M31 variants. This means that we will continue to see this equipment on our highways and in cities for a long time.

Ease of use

The model in question was one of the first at the manufacturing plant to receive a closed-type cabin, in which the driver could sit rather than stand. The cabin is also heated.

There are two nozzles next to the instrument panel, through which hot air is supplied to the cabin. In addition, two more nozzles are located under the instrument panel.

They supply hot air to warm your feet. Thanks to this, the cabin warms up well, so this car is comfortable to operate even in severe frost.

The cabin has two sun visors - they allow the driver and passenger not to experience discomfort while working, even on a bright sunny day.

Thus, the safety of the driver himself, as well as other road users, is significantly increased. Because the driver is not distracted by blinding bright lights.

In the cabin, between two sun visors, there is a lamp. It is intended to illuminate the cabin space at night and while performing any actions.

Adjusting valves ifa 50

Tools: Pliers, curved and/or minus screwdrivers, 9 and 8 mm wrenches (heads) and 13 mm, feeler gauge for setting valve clearance.

Adjusting valve clearances: Valve clearances should be adjusted approximately every 3000 km. But if a characteristic clicking sound, similar to a clatter, is heard from the cylinder head, you should not wait for scheduled maintenance.

First, let's free access to the cylinder head cover. To do this, remove the seat (toilet bowl). At low ambient temperatures, plastic must be handled carefully; it becomes brittle.

Now we unscrew the 4 bolts on the cylinder head cover. (You now have this picture in front of you - valve cams, rocker arms, camshaft, camshaft sprocket, CPG chain)

To adjust the valve clearances, it is necessary to catch the moment when the piston is in its upper limit position. Next, remove the fan (generator) casing. Using a 13 key, turn the hexagon on the generator cooling impeller clockwise until the mark on the generator flywheel marked “T” coincides with the protrusion on the side of the flywheel. Make sure the piston is in the highest position and the valves are closed.

GAZ 53 technical characteristics of the model

The technical indicators are described in the table below.

Indicators of a basic onboard car

Let's start getting acquainted with the heart, the power unit. The GAZ 53 engine is an overhead valve unit with 8 cylinders. Motor 4 stroke, V-shaped carburetor operating principle. The engine volume was 4.25 liters.

The GAZ 53 engine technical characteristics, which we are considering, had a power of 115 horsepower and developed a decent speed of 85 km/h for those times. Fuel consumption was 24 liters versus 100 kilometers. The rated power of the GAZ 53 engine was (with limiter) at 3200 rpm, 92 kW.

GAZ 53 gearbox

The engine was combined with 4 gearboxes. To move forward, 4 gears were used. One gear was intended for reverse maneuvers.

The car was equipped with tires of size 8.25-20. The dimensions of the equipment were expressed in numbers: L/W/H = 6395/2380/2220 mm. A video about the GAZ 53 car is in the article below.

Electrical diagram of GAZ 53

A single-wire system was used. It was connected by the negative terminal to ground. The electrical part included a 350 W generator. The electrical part included a “6-ST-68-EM” battery and a “B 13” ignition coil with additional resistance. Model “A11-U” candles were used.

Steering GAZ 53

Globoidal worm with a three-ridge roller. The power steering operates on a hydraulic principle, which greatly helps the driver control the car and perform maneuvers.

Dump type lawn

The car was used not only as a dump truck. Models were produced for transporting milk, gasoline, sunflower oil, and live fish. But most of the vehicles produced are dump trucks. The volume of the GAZ 53 dump truck body was 5 cubic meters. The weight of the truck was 3200 kg.

Unloading was carried out by a special mechanism. The discharge was carried out only on one side. The car was easy to repair.

Adjusting the alignment of the GAZ 53 did not take much time and was carried out in enterprise garages.

Mechanics could do this in almost any conditions. Information on the operating procedure of GAZ 53 cylinders can be found on the Internet.

Fuel truck GAZ 53

Another popular model of that time was the fuel tanker. Almost with the same characteristics as the truck. Of course there was a difference. The main focus is the safety of fuel transportation. Now workers are transporting fuel in the regions. They are still used in agriculture.

GAZ 53 fire version

The third generation Soviet medium-tonnage vehicle was used to fight fires. They were equipped with water cannons and ladders for working on the upper fire levels. In technical terms, special machines were no different from other models. Therefore, it makes no sense to dwell in more detail on the engine or braking system.

GAZ 53 driver reviews

Let's not spread the oil all over the pan. Let’s just say one thing: the car can still be found on the roads today. It may not look respectable, but it has been working for 54 years. We think that says it all!

Interior ergonomics, controls

This car is equipped with a steering wheel with two spokes, between which the signal horn is located. It should only be used when necessary as the volume is quite high.

The thickness of the steering wheel is very small, and this is where its convenience lies. Even a person with a small palm can easily grasp it.

The instrument panel has everything necessary to monitor the operation of the engine and the vehicle as a whole while driving. Despite the fact that the model in question - Ifa Multicar 25 - was released relatively long ago, the dashboard has everything for comfortable work on this car:
