PST 72080 MAZ-7910 Truk oil (gas) pipeline

MAZ-7910 is a Soviet specialized heavy truck. The first prototypes of this car appeared in 1974, and a very small series production probably started in 1976. According to other sources, the MAZ-7910 was not mass-produced, and only prototypes were put into operation. It is certain, however, that the vehicle was powered by a single engine o 525 hp. The car was 11.45 meters long and 3.05 meters wide. The driving range of the car on one fuel tank was up to 1000 kilometers. The MAZ-7910 was developed on the basis of the chassis and many mechanical components of the MAZ-543M. Like its predecessor, it was characterized by a relatively large range, the ability to operate in difficult climatic conditions, but also reliability and load capacity of about 20 tons. However, the MAZ-7910 was a specialist vehicle, dedicated to the transport of pipes (up to 12 m long) for gas and oil pipelines in Siberia and the far Russian North.
