Ural375

The Ural-375 is a 4x4 truck designed and produced by Ural Automotive Plant in the Soviet Union. It entered production in the early 1960s and became a widely used military and civilian vehicle. The Ural-375 was developed as a successor to earlier trucks and was intended for general-purpose transport and as a base for various military equipment.

The truck features a robust chassis and a powerful V8 gasoline engine, making it suitable for operating in diverse terrain and harsh climatic conditions. Its 4x4 drivetrain provided excellent off-road capability, a critical requirement for military applications. The cab-over-engine design maximized cargo space while maintaining a relatively compact overall footprint.

Over its production life, the Ural-375 saw numerous variants, including cargo trucks, dump trucks, and specialized vehicles like mobile workshops and fuel tankers. It was widely exported and operated by many Warsaw Pact countries and other Soviet allies. While largely superseded by newer models like the Ural-4320, the Ural-375 remains a recognizable and historically significant vehicle in the history of Soviet and Russian automotive engineering. Its reliability and ruggedness contributed to its long service life in various roles.
