In 1985, the Ulyanovsk Automobile Plant began to produce an ambulance minibus, which received the UAZ-39629 (3962) index .
Sanitary SUV
The βnewβ SUV (4x4) was the result of the development of the UAZ-452 A and, like its predecessor, was intended for medical service. In appearance, the cars were very similar: a newer model can only be distinguished by the missing internal fences on the windows. Another distinguishing feature appeared a little later - the central side windows with pivoting windows on the port side were replaced with monolithic ones.
In general, in the appearance of the UAZ-39629 there is nothing particularly remarkable - everything is simple and without frills. Apparently, nobody thought about the beauty of the car when it was created.
The interior of the cabin is fully consistent with external data - concise, practical, nothing is superfluous, and everything is thought out to the smallest detail. The driverβs cab is separated from the sanitary room by a partition into which a sliding glass is inserted. In the medical part of the cabin there are folding benches on which you can place from 7 to 9 people or install two stretchers on special mounts.
The engine in the UAZ-39629 is located under the hood in the cab to the right of the driver. This arrangement of the motor has certain advantages: in winter, the power unit becomes a source of additional heat for heating the cabin, and in the event of a breakdown it provides ease of repair, and in almost any weather and regardless of the time of day.
The driver's seat does not differ in special amenities. The instrument panel of the novelty of design also does not shine, however, it contains all the sensors necessary for the driver.
In a word, if you remove stickers from this machine that indicate its belonging to medicine and repaint it in khaki color, then it will completely pass for a military vehicle, traditionally distinguished by its asceticism.
