"UAZ is far from economical": in the Czech Republic calculated the benefits of the army's transition to Toyota Hilux

«UAZ is far from economical»: in the Czech Republic calculated the benefits of the army's transition to Toyota Hilux
The Czech army recently opted for new Toyota Hilux 4x4s with a 2.4D engine on 150 hp, complying with EURO standard 6, as a successor to the outdated UAZ and Land Rover Defender vehicles. The Polish company Glomex will be the supplier of new cars.

Let's look at new technology in terms of fuel consumption – writes the Czech edition of CZDefence.

As stated in the Czech media, since its introduction to the market 1968 year, the legendary pickup truck left its mark everywhere. Toyota Hilux is "the pinnacle of the development of this type of car", which is confirmed by the strength of its body, combined with a striking design, high-quality interior and the ability to tow a trailer weighing up to 3,5 tonnes.

Don't be afraid to test him on rough terrain or put him in stressful situations., This is the everyday life of the Toyota Hilux., who is not afraid of anything – Toyota advertises its product.

CZDefence decided to look at the new fleet of vehicles in terms of cost savings, allocated for its maintenance. The official calculations of the Czech army show, that the annual mileage of one car will be 11 thousand. km, of which 75% will fall on the highway, 15% on dirt roads and the remaining 10% for movement in the field.

Hilux manufacturer claims, that the combined fuel consumption is 7,2 liters of 100 km. However, the publication considers, that this figure is underestimated and, taking into account the movement on rough terrain, it will equal 11 l dissolvable. With the declared mileage in 11 thousand. km, the annual consumption will be about 33 000 crowns per car (27 KRONE – 93 ruble – per liter of diesel fuel).

If we consider UAZ cars, then the real fuel consumption, taking into account off-road, will be on average about 17 liters of petrol 100 km (at a price 27 CZK per liter). Then the annual operation of one machine will cost approximately 52 000 kroons per year, what makes this car far from economical.

When using a Land Rover Defender (in the army there are modifications of LR 90, LR 110 and LR 130 Cayman) cars consume on average, taking into account traffic on different terrain, 13 liters of diesel fuel 100 km. Therefore, the operation of one machine costs approximately 38 000 KRONE.

If we average the cost of fuel, potreblënnogo UAZ and Land Rover Defender, then it will be more 45 000 crowns when running in 11 thousand. km compared with 33 000 Crown in Toyota Hilux. If consider, what is purchased 1,2 thousand. machines, then the total annual benefit will be more than 14 million kroons. for comparison, one modern combat helmet for the army from Argun [Czech company, specializing in ammunition] worth about 14 000 KRONE. Thanks to fuel savings, it will be possible to purchase more 1000 helmets per year.

The above calculation does not include parts and repair costs.. Land Rover Defender and UAZ cars are now expensive to maintain, and Toyota Hilux cars will be under warranty – CZDefence sums up its calculations of the transition of the Czech army to a new fleet.

true, About, how much will it cost “Toyota” after the expiration of the warranty period and what “warranty” cases are assumed by the manufacturer when delivering pickups to the Czech army, not reported.
