Abstract

The paper contains constructional scheme of a vehicle and its individual aggregates, systems and subgroups. It gives constructional overview of the MT-72 vehicle. The designed conception solves re-construction shape of the vehicle hull, which makes it possible to create the compartments of driver and commander in the front of the vehicle next to each other. The transmission is also modified and adapted to enable intake of required performance for the pump drives of the vehicle’s extension. In this re-constructed bridge layer i.e. MT-72 M2 is installed new air-conditioning unit, new fire-fighting equipment by Co. DEUGRA and engine with more efficient air cleaner, too. Laying mechanism controlled by the linear hydraulic cylinder, suspensory consoles and compatibility of the bridge layer MT-72 M2 with MT-55A bridge system to simplify the user’s logistics was well-preserved.
