ZIL Russian army personnel carrier concept revealed
2014-12-07
According to Auto Express, the ZIL concept has been commissioned by the Russian army. The vehicle, based on the chassis of the standard-issue US army Humvee, is said to be able to carry 10 people into combat in various seating positions. Two chairs at the back corners of the truck can be used by gunners, deploying weapons through the hatch doors.
Looks like it came out of a Batman movie. One of the ones with George Clooney...
Or Robocop.
The ZIL is powered by a Cummins diesel engine with 183bhp, through a five speed manual gearbox to all four wheels. Despite the futuristic styling, it uses traditional leaf springs and drum brakes.
