Only the "Face" is Chinese: Advantages of the New Russian Truck "Valdai 12" Named

The medium-duty "Valdai 12" is equipped with a solid frame and is almost entirely assembled from Russian components

The main advantage of the "Valdai 12" truck is its solid frame. It is "hewn without a single nail." This was reported by auto expert Ilya Khlebushkin.

The car's frame is able to withstand critical loads and prevent possible body deformations. There is not a single rivet, insert or extension in its design.

The truck is almost entirely assembled from domestic parts. The exception is the Chinese cab (a seven-year-old Foton). However, its welding and painting are carried out in Russia.

The "Valdai 12" is equipped with a four-cylinder lower-valve diesel engine YaMZ-534 with a volume of 4.4 liters (170 hp). The unit is complemented by a domestic engine brake. The six-speed manual gearbox is made on the basis of the five-speed "GAZon Next".

The weight of the truck is 11,990 kg, the carrying capacity is up to 8 tons. The car does not require registration in the "Platon" system, which charges a fee for traveling on roads.

Spare parts for the "Valdai 12" are easy to purchase.
