2015 UAZ 452 “Loaf” 2.0MT / 90 hp – EXCLUSIVE, MANUAL ASSEMBLY

UAZ-452 / UAZ-3741(popularly called "Loaf", "Tablet") - a car produced at the Ulyanovsk Automobile Plant. Serial production of the UAZ-452 began in 1965. The engine is a variant of the GAZ-21 engine.

UAZ-452 is a special cargo-passenger, all-wheel drive, two-axle off-road vehicle with a 4x4 wheel arrangement. The car has been produced by the Ulyanovsk Automobile Plant since 1965. It is the oldest in terms of number of years of production Russian car. Due to its external resemblance to a loaf of bread, people began to call it “Loaf”, “Pill”, military modifications - “Tablet”, as they are used by doctors. Cars produced between 1965 and 1979 were distinguished by the presence of old-style lighting equipment (colorless turn signals, tail lights round shape), stamping the last side false door extending back to the rear doors, more rounded back corners body, a special niche for a license plate on the left back door. The car is produced both in a body version (wagon) and in an onboard version (“tadpole”). The car body can be equipped with single-leaf side doors and a double-leaf door at the rear (the door configuration depends on the specific modification). In March 2011, this car was modernized according to specific models: 39625, 3962 and 2206. ABS, power steering, seat belts according to the Euro-4 standard were added, and the engine also complied with the Euro-4 standard.

UAZ "Loaf"- a car of an era, a car of a legend. The oldest living person in serial production lungs commercial vehicles not only Russia, but also the world. For 60 years now, without a fundamental change in concept, they have been rolling off the assembly line of the Ulyanovsk Automobile Plant and, apparently, will be in production for many more years. For many decades, the most popular car in the “loaf” family was the “nurse”.

Yes Yes! During the Soviet years, they made more sanitary and medical “loaves” than basic ones all-metal vans, more than flatbed “tadpole” trucks and much more than minibuses. That is, medical UAZ-450A, UAZ-452A And UAZ-3962 in terms of the number of copies produced, they always surpassed their other relatives in the family, which, by the way, was the first independent development of the Ulyanovsk residents.

TO medical version The nickname “Tablet” was firmly attached. About the history of "Tablets" - our story. We don’t go into deep technical details. The emphasis is on appearance and interior equipment.

01. The development of the “loaf” began in the first half of the 1950s, and if we count from the first prototypes built, then the “loaves” are even more than 60 years old. This is one of the first experimental "search" UAZ-450A nicknamed "Magpie" photographed at an exhibition at NAMI in July 1956.

02. And this is the first serial UAZ-450A. In 1958, UAZ built the first 250 of these vehicles. The body shapes are the same today, but the “face” was different then. Another feature of the earliest UAZ-450A- front doors that opened against the direction of travel.


Collection Denis DEMENTIEVA

03. And on the early “loaves” there was no side door to enter the salon. Access there was only through the rear hinged doors.

04. Medical salon UAZ-450A, as you can see, was extremely ascetic.


Collection Denis DEMENTIEVA

05. They modernized and changed something in the “loaves” constantly. Opens quite quickly reverse side the front doors gave way to the usual classic ones with front hinges. But the side door even on modernized ones UAZ-450A still wasn't there.


Collection Denis DEMENTIEVA

06. Last five copies UAZ-450A manufactured in 1966. In total, from 1958 to 1966, the Ulyanovsk Automobile Plant produced 30,103 serial "medics" UAZ-450A. One of those cars has been preserved in perfect condition and is an exhibit at the UAZ factory museum.

07. In the all-wheel drive family UAZ-450 there was a non-all-wheel drive “offshoot” with a 4x2 wheel arrangement - UAZ-451. Very few four-wheel drive UAZs were produced, "nurse" UAZ-451A with drive only rear axle also existed, but only in prototypes. The 4x2 sanitary “loaf” was not produced serially.

08. In issue 2 for 1962, under the heading "New soviet cars"The magazine "Automobile Transport" posted a note about UAZ-452A, the “new generation” of Ulyanovsk nurses. The first experienced UAZ-452A the “face” was the same as that of the 450s, but (most importantly) there was finally a side door to enter the salon.

09. To series UAZ-452A went four years after the note in " Automotive transport", in 1966. Production cars already had a different appearance, the main features of which have been preserved to this day. However, the earliest ones are easily distinguished by round rear-view mirrors and plain white turn indicators. This advertising photo with a doctor in fashionable glasses and foreign shoes shows Just such an option. Around the same time, the nickname “Tablet” was attached to medical “loaves.”

10. Gradually, two salon concepts emerged - civilian and military. Civil (left) meant one stretcher and three seats for doctors, the military (right) allowed stretchers for four patients (wounded).

11. U military version was interesting feature- all the windows could be covered with thick canvas curtains that were rolled into rolls. No one has canceled the rules of military blackout, even for “nurses”.

12. These thick curtains can be clearly seen on a perfectly preserved example from the factory museum.

13. In fairness, it should be noted that the civilian medical salon from clause 10- exhibition, “exemplary”. The serial one was much simpler. This is clearly visible in the photo.

One of the main problems of the “tablets” was the smoothness of the ride. They are based on the units of the “Kozlik”, which in turn was nicknamed for its “jumping ability”. But for a medical machine this is a serious drawback.

14. They worked on the problem of smooth running of the “tablets”. In the photo - a prototype UAZ-452AG and its chassis. Experts will immediately see the difference.

15. But just in case, here's a photo of the chassis from a different angle.

16. The arrow shows the main difference UAZ-452AG from standard UAZ-452A. This car had hydropneumatic suspension. It is curious that UAZ began working on hydropneumatic suspension even before UAZ-452A went into mass production. This prototype UAZ-452AG- Built in 1965. And at the level of ideas, hydropneumatics began to be discussed back in 1961. But it never came to a series, despite several years of the most serious trials.

17. Medical institutions across the country continued to receive "Pills" with a rigid standard suspension.

18. "Nurse" UAZ-452A serially produced from 1966 to 1985. During this time, the Ulyanovsk Automobile Plant built a little more than 166,000 basic “Tablets” UAZ-452A.


Collection Denis DEMENTIEVA

To this number must be added 1849 built export "editions" UAZ-452AE, 1245 manufactured tropical modifications UAZ-452AT and 393 very rare northern cars UAZ-452AS.

19. Northern version UAZ-452AS in her obligatory bright orange color is shown in this photo. This “tablet” was equipped with two batteries instead of one, additional foglights, had additional insulation with technical felt and richer medical equipment.

In total, over 19 years of production, almost 170,000 were produced UAZ-452A all modifications.

Work on a major modernization of the entire 452nd family began in the second half of the 1970s. Made structural changes to the frame, braking system, steering, electrical diagram. The first modernized test samples were built in 1977.

20. This photo shows a modernized experimental pre-production “tablet” built in 1977. The appearance has also changed slightly. New direction indicators installed at the front PF-130, and behind - lights FP-132. New rear-view mirrors have appeared.


Collection Denis DEMENTIEVA

21. New lighting technology required changes to the front body panel stamps, rear corner panels and even floor stamps. Due to the installation of the headlight reverse and the license plate light has changed and the outer panel of the left rear door has also changed. In general, the most noticeable were external changes behind.


Collection Denis DEMENTIEVA

After modernization, the entire family was assigned new indexes. The ambulance vehicle received the designation UAZ-3962.

22. To series UAZ-3962 went only in 1985, 8 years after the construction of prototypes of this generation. In the first year of production UAZ-3962 released in parallel with UAZ-452A. 4035 copies were made that year UAZ-452A and 7496 copies UAZ-3962.


Collection Denis DEMENTIEVA

Until the collapse of the USSR, the Ulyanovsk Automobile Plant produced, on average, a thousand UAZ-3962 monthly, that is, more than 30 cars per day. Simply put, the Soviet power received a new "Tablet" approximately every 45 minutes.

23. Although GOST for the white and red coloring of all civilian emergency vehicles was developed back in the mid-1970s, Soviet ambulances acquired this color on a large scale only towards the end of the 1980s. For an advertising brochure published in 1989, UAZ-3962 beautifully painted according to GOST.


Collection Denis DEMENTIEVA

24. And they arranged an exemplary photo shoot. I just want to believe that doctors in the USSR actually came to construction sites in a smart UAZ and wearing high-heeled dress shoes :)


Collection Denis DEMENTIEVA

25. In reality, civilians UAZ-3962 They came off the assembly line light gray and, according to the red and white GOST, they were almost not painted.


Collection Denis DEMENTIEVA

26. And the majority were painted in the classic “military protective” color for UAZs. The lion's share UAZ-3962 was immediately transferred to the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Defense.

By the way! It was thanks to the military, even under the USSR, that a fundamentally new “Tablet” was almost born. About it Remarochka.

In 1985, the Ulyanovsk Automobile Plant began producing a sanitary minibus, which received the index

Sanitary SUV

The “new” SUV (4x4) was the result of the development of the UAZ-452 A and, like its predecessor, was intended for medical service. In appearance the cars were very similar: more new model can only be distinguished by the missing internal guards on the windows. Another one distinguishing feature appeared a little later - central side windows with rotary windows on the left side were replaced with monolithic ones.

Overall in appearance There is nothing particularly remarkable about the UAZ-39629 - everything is simple and without frills. Apparently, no one thought about the beauty of the car when creating it.

Interior decoration in to the fullest corresponds to external data - laconic, practical, nothing is superfluous, and everything is thought out to the smallest detail. The driver's cabin is separated from the sanitary room by a partition into which sliding glass is inserted. In the medical part of the cabin there are folding benches that can accommodate from 7 to 9 people or two stretchers can be installed on special mounts.

The engine in the UAZ-39629 is located under the casing in the cab to the right of the driver. There are certain advantages to this engine arrangement: winter time power unit becomes a source of additional heat for heating the interior, and in the event of a breakdown, it provides ease of repair, in almost any weather and regardless of the time of day.

The driver's seat does not differ in special amenities. The instrument panel also does not shine with a new design, but at the same time it contains all the sensors necessary for the driver.

In a word, if you remove the stickers from this car indicating that it belongs to the medical profession and repaint it in khaki color, then it will quite pass for a military vehicle, traditionally distinguished by its asceticism.

UAZ-39629: characteristics

The two cars, UAZ-3962 and 39629, are almost identical. The only difference is in the engines: the UAZ-39629 is equipped with a more powerful engine - UMZ-4218 with a total cylinder volume of 2.89 liters and a power of 86 liters. With. (at 4 thousand rpm). The power unit - in-line, four-stroke - is equipped with a carburetor-type fuel system.

Clutch - single-disc, friction, dry with hydraulic drive.

Gearbox - manual, four-speed, fully synchronized. The control of the box is manual, carried out using a lever from the driver's cab.

"Razdatka" - two-stage, with shutdown front axle.

The UAZ-39629 has a spring suspension at the front and rear, supplemented by shock absorbers.

The brake system is dual-circuit, hydraulic, drum type with a vacuum booster.

Optional equipment

On the roof of the car there are installed: a sunroof for interior ventilation, a spotlight and a blue headlight.

Special medical equipment was installed: an operating lamp, an ADR-1200 apparatus (for forced ventilation of the lungs), an electrocardiograph, a defibrillator, a wheelchair with a removable stretcher installed on it.

UAZ-39629: technical characteristics

• The drive is four-wheel drive with a 4x4 formula.
• Base - 2300 mm.
• Dimensions (mm) - 4440 x 2101 x 1940 (length, width, height). The height including the spotlight is 2240 mm.

Since April 1997, the car plant decided to take care of the driver, passenger (doctor, paramedic) and even the person accompanying the patient. We replaced the old, not very comfortable seats with more comfortable ones with soft upholstery. Everything else remains unchanged.

UAZ-3962 is an ambulance vehicle with cross-country ability and a 4x4 wheel arrangement. The model is mainly used medical services, where she transports patients. Thanks to all-wheel drive and a fairly high ground clearance, this car is able to overcome almost any road obstacles. The UAZ-3962 is most popular in the field of servicing ambulance stations and evacuating victims in urban and rural settlements.

Serial production of this model started at the Ulyanovsk Automobile Plant back in 1985 and continues to this day.

In its segment, the Ulyanovsk SUV does not have any competing models that are distinguished by reliability, cross-country ability and low cost. In this regard, the demand for this car does not fall at the present time.

Peculiarities

The UAZ-3962 ambulance, like all other representatives of the “loaf” family, has an engine located inside the cabin. This feature has several advantages:

In winter, the engine can act as an additional heater, more efficient than the standard one.

Maintenance and some repair work can be carried out without leaving the cab, which is especially convenient in bad weather conditions.

The model’s great popularity is also due to its excellent off-road capabilities. Already from the factory, the car is equipped with a two-stage transfer case with a reduction gear and a front axle, which together with a fairly high ground clearance allows you to overcome almost any road obstacles. That is why it is most often used in rural areas and off-road areas.

Cheerful in appearance and unpretentious car UAZ 3962, in fact, has eerie roots, and this is connected with the time of development of this car.

Today it’s hard to believe, the car has become familiar and familiar, but hardly anyone would want to get into it if it were used for its intended purpose. Yes, this is an ambulance.

It is not known for certain whether this is true or a fairy tale for thrill-seekers, but those UAZ 452 designers who could give interviews a few years ago spoke about a completely different purpose for all-metal vans based on the GAZ 69. Numerous modifications of the Bukhanka originate from a single model .

This is the simplest, most primitive stamped tin body, which was bolted to the frame from a gas car. But the most important thing in the design of this body was that in the cabin, in addition to the driver and front passenger, special mounts could be developed for five horizontal stretchers.

What kind of mass evacuation is this and why use an all-wheel drive chassis in this case? It was just the time. The spy mania had passed, the public needed a horror story so that it would not be too distracted by all sorts of nonsense, but would go to production when the buzzer sounded. And they came up with a horror story - nuclear war.

No one knew what a source of nuclear destruction might look like, but judging by the experience of Hiroshima, there was little chance of surviving in this hell. That’s why we developed this cheerful little minibus for transporting corpses from the source of the lesion. If its designer, V. Aryamov, had known about this, he would have come up with a more restrained design.

UAZ-396295-356 Soft interior, engine. ZMZ-4091, 112 hp, folding benches, seats for the driver, passenger and attendant - comfortable.

The all-wheel drive ambulance vehicle UAZ-3962 (39629) is designed for transporting patients and can be used to serve emergency stations medical care and evacuation of victims in both cities and rural areas. The car body is divided by a partition into a driver's cabin and a sanitary room. The partition has a window with sliding glass. The sanitary room is equipped with folding seats and a mount for installing 4 stretchers, and the possibility of placing sanitary equipment is provided. A rotating spotlight is installed in the front part of the body roof.

The use of the UAZ-3962 in medicine is not all that it is capable of. The scope of use of the “nurse” is much wider. People's ingenuity has long ago turned it into utility vehicle: thanks to the folding benches, it can accommodate up to 9 people or the equivalent load. Moreover: it will not only help you in your work, but will also provide you with relaxation and comfort during your trip. For this purpose, in April 1997, production of a car with soft upholstery and comfortable seats for the driver, passenger and (note!) the accompanying person in the cabin began.

The car is equipped with gasoline engines:

• with a working volume of 2.445 liters (power - 92 hp) produced by the Zavolzhsky Motor Plant (ZMZ-4104) and the Ulyanovsk Motor Plant (UMZ-4218.10).
• working volume 2.89 liters (power - 98 hp) - UMZ-4218, produced by the Ulyanovsk Motor Plant.

An ambulance, for example, differed from a nine-seater passenger car only in the presence of a searchlight, those same ill-fated stretchers, although only one, a place for accompanying personnel. Sometimes the glass could be frosted. Well, the red cross on a white background indicated that this was a nurse. There were no technical changes. Except for the 451 model with single-wheel drive, that is, only rear-wheel drive.

The technical characteristics of UAZs changed synchronously, as soon as the plant received the next new engine. But in essence, the late 50s model 452A differs from the modern model 3962 only in small details, which is not even worth restyling. Among them:

• vacuum brake booster;
• more comfortable seats;
• the car is more lavishly decorated with plastic;
• not long ago a 5-speed gearbox appeared.

Engine

It is not surprising that it is basically the same low-speed gasoline engine with a slightly modified timing drive system. In addition, most cars produced after 1985 have a three-liter engine with a capacity of almost one hundred horsepower. The reason for such approximateness is simply explained - the car can be equipped with engines from the Ulyanovsk UMZ plant, as well as from third-party manufacturers, and the owners of the “nurse” are in no hurry to overhaul the engine, preferring to install completely different engines. The power of the stock engine clearly does not correspond to the heavy body and purpose of the car.

Engine repairs and malfunctions

Absolutely all faults UMZ engine 421 are completely comparable to the Volga GAZ 21 engine. This is exactly the unit that was still on it, even with injection. With engines, everything is also extremely confusing.

ZMZ and UMZ motors are no different from each other, the only difference is that the first one was produced at the Trans-Volga Motor Plant.

This is the same engine produced in 1956, which was used to evacuate the wounded from the source of nuclear destruction. The engine does not have hydraulic compensators, so every 10 thousand it is necessary to adjust the thermal clearances of the valves.

There is simply no adequate replacement for this car; there are simply no factories left that could build an all-wheel drive multi-purpose minibus, such as the UAZ 3962, the photo of which is posted on the page. In addition to the civilian population, the army and aviation, the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the fire service will never give up these cars. Well, stretchers. So, you never know...
