R & D “Garazh-2.1” - order for leadership

Abstract

Introduction. The article considers the peculiarities of the research work (R & D) “Ga-razh-2.1” implementation; lists the organizations, managers and leading workers who participated in the research; shows the developed type of a unified family of basic multi-purpose vehicles (MPV); provides technical characteristics and basic structural solutions of the vehicles development within a unified family; demonstrates the pattern models of automobiles created as a result of research and development. The purpose of the study was to improve the technical level and efficiency of the newly created MPV of medium and large carrying capacity, which are part of unified families. Methodology and research methods. A methodology developed for the technical structure formation included proposals for formation of the composition of a single unified automobile family, the basic principles and types of modular design, possible layouts, size ranges of the main units and systems, the assessment of the vehicles within the unified system. The methods for the general technical level assessment of individual automobiles for MPV family were also worked out, as well as the method for optimizing the loads distribution along the axes of automobiles. Scientific novelty and results. Proposals have been prepared for a promising type of MPVs of medium and large capacity possessing high tactical and technical automobile characteristics. Advanced ideas in the design of new vehicles were tested on the prototypes. Scientific novelty is associated with the developed methods and methodology. Practical significance. Modern system approaches to the development of a promising type of MPVs and their implementation on the basis of the automobiles within unified families have been proposed. The main enhanced tactical and technical characteristics of vehicles were chosen.
