Engines like these are amongst my favorite to shoot a video about. Especially that KrAZ is something really really cool and that Tatra - I have a soft spot for Tatra since it is almost like a home manufacturer. Which one do you love the most? Don't forget to follow my IG and FB @visioracer
YaMZ isn't an unusual engine. I have the V6 236 n/a variant in my truck. It weighs a bit over 800kg by itself. Originally, 238 and 236 engines were designed for big Kirov tractors, but were quickly adapted for automotive use. The n/a variants are used in the army and prized for their high torque and good durability. The turbo variants have much higher horsepower and are found in MAZ trucks and some Kirov tractors.
One thing that most people don't know about steam engines is they develop all the torque at basically zero rpm (much like an electric motor does). This is ideal for a heavily loaded vehicle such as a truck, or a freight train for that matter. Glad you included #2!
Honestly, I have loved every single video you've released, simply for the fact that you put so much effort into bettering your content, and always have really interesting facts that most other channels miss. I've been subscribed since you only had about 100 subs and haven't regretted it, ever. Keep it up man, much love from all the way in South Africa.
KrAZ-255 was and still is one of most legendary Soviet trucks of all time. Very favorable in our military during Soviet times, but more so in logging today. For its class, its weight capacity, fording ability and powerful engine (plus Soviet construction) makes them hard to kill. They just keep going.

Trucks are very popular in the UK, and there are more people in the UK with that interest, combined with the equipment, education and financial situation to be able to fiddle with old trucks as a hobby compared to most of the world :)
Yes. The UK was prominent in truck manufacture in the early 20th century. I could cite a dozen marque names. Today, not a single truck is manufactured in the UK. Part of the reason for the decline was joining the EU (common market), imo.
My man, good to see you in the flesh! Glad you are back up and about after your couple of close calls. After I had totaled two Honda Interceptors through the carelessness of others, nearly being killed on the more recent one, and spending years in recovery, glad to see you going!! Pleasure to “meet” you. Best of luck, keep up the good work, and be safe! Much love and respect from Massachusetts.
@M Bacon yeah you have a point they are in service in cold regions of the world...i ride an air oil cooled 1200cc bike in the tropics and it can get awfully hot
I've wanted one for a while now. Its difficult to get it shipped to the states. Also you need a friend who lives in that part if Europe to help get parts for repairs.
These days, I drive a MAZ 5440A5 with Euro 3 variant of the KrAZ engine, the YaMZ 658. For a Yaroslavl V8, it is very economical, producing better fuel economy than many equivalent European engines of the '90s. Reliability is also good, provided, as with everything, you keep up with proper servicing. The engine previously used in this model of truck was the YaMZ 7511, a Euro 2 engine with fully mechanical high pressure fuel pump. Those engines are less fuel efficient, but far simpler in construction, and come with either single piece engine heads (considered stronger) or individual cylinder heads (considered much easier to maintain). All variants are still widely in use today.
TATRA NEZNÁ BRATRA!!! This is czech funny catchphrase for Tatra. It means TATRA does know brother. It make me smile, when I hear sound of their aircooled engine. I loved them from my child age( 40 years ago). I always stopped the walking and watched Tatra till disappeared from the horizon :-)) . The best TATRA engine sound has type 813 KOLOS. Here is in army version. Greetings from Czech Republic. czcams.com/video/J1Vclex3sIo/video.html
Nice to see the Sentinels - a reminder that steam engines did a lot of work on the roads even before powerful internal combustion engines were perfected, but continued alongside such vehicles well into the 20th century. Delivery vans, trucks, steamrollers, farm machines and tractors, pantechnicons and even buses.
I have an ex military friend who used Kraz trucks to tow trailers with T55s tanks, they would sit extra 10 T of concrete blocks on rear axle of the truck so it wouldn't lose traction. Entire thing would weigh ~80t give or take
I like Kraz and Tatra. I have also had the privilege of driving a Kraz around a rail yard. It won't win a beauty contest or a race but when you need power those trucks have it.
you are an eclectic observer of power plant tech... I always enjoy your videos and your knowledge of all things motorized. I have owned and worked on everything from 4 cyl vw to Porsche, Mercedes truck and thru Cat diesel & more.. You have a great knowledge & I hope to see you start to explore electric power.. It's here and is one of the salvations of our overuse of fossil fuels. Thanks for the great content!
Those old steam trucks looked a bit of a handful to drive. The cab must have been nice and warm in winter though, despite it being open, but unbearable on a hot summers day. Those Tatras though are something else. I never get bored of watching those trials on CZcams, with the giant 6 and 8 wheeled trucks, wading through deep water, then charging up these ridiculously slippery and muddy slopes, that a Land Rover would struggle with. It's a pretty impressive sight, especially when you see the clouds of black smoke, coming from their thunderous diesel engines!

KRAZ (КРАЗ) was designed and built in Soviet Ukraine. With little modifications trucks are still in production, competing with Soviet/Russian URAL trucks.
Seriously? This truck was originally called YaAZ - because it was produced in Yaroslavl, Russia. Later, production was moved to Ukraine. And the engines are still being made in this city and is called YaMZ. The author of the video correctly named the engine!
@@user-xt4zm5sg2j That's not true for at least past 5 years. Since 2015, KrAZ has stopped purchasing materials and spare parts from Russian manufacturers altogether, abandoning their engines, steel, electrical equipment, forgings, rubber products, bearings, etc.
Commercial vehicle designers in Britain were drinking some very strong tea to come up with the vehicles in this video. "Yeah let's just invent the heavy haulage lorry in the 1930s with a steam engine, none of that internal combustion nonsense" "You know what'd make a nice smooth engine for our trucks and vans? An opposed piston 3 cylinder." I don't have any shade for the Foden. That thing is beaut.
haha finally there is a face to the voice :) thank you for this channel, although i'm not subscribed, but every now and then I watch some of your videos! they are very interesting, tipical videos for the coffe, or a short brake, or something :)
The truck at 1:45 is beautiful. I love the styling. I like how the driver wiped the dirt off the wheels after he climbed down. He probably wipes his shoes before he climbs up into the cab to avoid scratching them.
Friend of mine got an Ural from the east german NVA surplus. From those were a lot versions around. Some ran on diesel and some on gasoline. He got a diesel one for his project, but wanted another one for parts. That one was a gasoline. We got the truck for beer and paid a fortune for the gas to get it home. The motor was taken out and sold to some folks which were into tractor pulling. They plugged some compressors and superchargers onto the thing. It was a audience favorite with the blue flames shooting out of the exhaust pipes up high into the air.
I stumbled upon VisioRacer many years ago because of my interest in cars and such and so I subscribed. Thanks VisioRacer for taking up a lot of my time on the internet watching your channel. Family is not very happy about this. HAHA!! Keep up the great work.
Weird or unique engines in trucks? Detroit Diesel of course! Can't get enough of those two-stroke, twin-charged screamers! You should do a video just on those engines.
The ldt-465 "multifuel" engine used in the M35a2 "deuce and a half" and M54 series 5 tons produced by Hercules, White, Continental and others is pretty cool and I'm lucky enough to own two. They are capable of running on various combustible liquids including WMO(waste motor oil) fryer oil, bio-diesel, gasoline(petrol), kerosene, heating oil, and certain aviation fuel with the exception of aviation gasoline and "JP-8" jet fuel both of which can still be used when diluted with clean motor oil. The injectors are designed to spray a stream of fuel instead of a mist and the higher compression ratio of 22:1-24:1 allows for the combustion of the heavier fuel. The Injection pump includes a "FDC" or Fuel Density Compensator(most mechanical diesel injection pumps have one) but the engine will still run reliably with it bypassed which is commonly done when it leaks. Feel free to reach out if you would like to know more, I work on these all the time, and as I mentioned before I own two.
I remember as a child our neighbour had a two stroke diesel truck It woke me and the local roosters up very early in the morning almost every day Very noisy but sounded great...
The torque numbers on those steam tractors can be something else, I saw one on Jay Leno‘s garage that might’ve had 200 hp if that but thousands of pounds of torque! Thanks for the videos, cheers!!
This looked very good, special engines and large trucks ++. Here is just one thing to do, subscribe. Too bad we didn't get to see the engines on the first trucks, but you can't demand everything. Good video.
The Sentinel DG series were quite crude compared to the later steam propelled S series or the last Foden Steam Trucks. These were much better and easier to drive, among many other things.
I drove a Mercedes 1932 tanker truck for several years back in the late 80's and early 90's with the OM 403. Pulling 50 tons up and down Norwegian mountains with that engine was slow. The only good thing was the exhaust brake, which was quite efficient.
