To increase the autonomy of the truck is equipped with two tanks. One holds 200 liters of fuel, and an additional - only 60. With these parameters, the diesel consumption is 24 liters per hundred kilometers, subject to movement at a speed of 60 km / h. This is an average indicator, since in real conditions the flow rate mark can reach 30 liters.
Transmission
A mechanical transmission with five gearshifts is installed on the Ural 43206. Manufacturer - Yaroslavl plant. To increase cross-country ability, a two - stage transfer case with an installed center differential lock is used. This allows you to get maximum speed, with a total mass of 12.4 tons - about 80, and sometimes 85 km / h. If the car moves as an integral part of the road train, then this parameter decreases to 75 km / h.

A chassis without equipment can be bought on average for 1.7-1.8 million rubles, but this is not too much for a transport such as the Urals. The machine has been tested by time and many real tests. Many modern trucks are being created, but many are loyal to the Urals.
