The Jaroslawski Motorny Sawod (JaMZ) ( Russian Ярославский моторный завод (ЯМЗ) , translated into German Jaroslawler Motorenwerk ) is a Russian engine manufacturer based in Yaroslavl . In its history, the plant initially produced passenger cars and later, as Jaroslawski Avtomobilny Sawod (JaAZ) , trucks. After vehicle production was transferred to KrAZ at the end of the 1950s, production was limited to engines. Today the plant belongs to the GAZ group .
history
Vladimir Alexandrowitsch Lebedew founded the company in 1916 as a stock corporation. It produced automobiles from the British manufacturer Crossley Motors under license . The brand name was Lebed and the majority of its customers were the Russian army . Car production ended in 1917.
After the October Revolution , the plant in Pervy Gosudarstwenny Avtoremonty Zavod (Russian Первый государственный авторемонтный завод, abbreviated 1-й ГАРЗ, the name was changed to the state automobile, until it was replaced: 1st GARZ, dt .: 1st GARZ).
In 1926 it was renamed to Jaroslawski Gosudarstwenny Awtomobilny Sawod (abbreviation ЯГАЗ or JaGAZ, Russian Ярославский государственный автомобильный завод, German: Jaroslawler State Automobile Factory). As part of this, the company specialized in the production of trucks with a payload of between three and seven tons. One of the first production vehicles was the Ja-3 . The company remained active in this area until 1942 and built, among other things, the heavy prototype JaG-12 . In the meantime, in 1933, the name was changed to Yaroslavsky Avtomobilny Zavod . Trolleybuses were also manufactured in the 1930s . As with the LK-1, parts were initially supplied to other factories, and from 1936 onwards, models such as the JaTB-1 were used in their own production.
From 1943, due to the war, the production of artillery equipment was switched to, which was not ended until 1947. During the Second World War, the plant resumed planning for new trucks and produced them from 1945 onwards, but production was transferred to other automobile factories until 1959.
Production of two-stroke diesel engines began in 1947 . The models JaAZ-204 ( four-cylinder engine ) and JaAZ-206 ( six-cylinder engine ), which were metric copies of Detroit Diesel engines and were used in various Soviet trucks well into the 1960s, were important. Series 71 engines from Detroit Diesel had come to the Soviet Union in large numbers as part of the Lend Lease Act in World War II. In 1961, the production of four-stroke engines began in parallel . Since then the JaMZ-236 (V6), JaMZ-238 (V8) and JaMZ-240 (V12) engines have been produced.
In 1971 the company was merged with at least four other companies and from that point on appeared under the name "Awtodiesel". This association became the market leader for diesel engines within the Soviet Union. After the collapse of the Soviet Union , the plant continued to work independently from 1993 under the name “ОАО Awtodiesel” (JaAZ). This name was retained until it was taken over by the GAZ Group in 2001. Since then, the products have been marketed under the brand name Jaroslawski Motorny Sawod (JaMZ) and the nickname Awtodiesel .
Historic vehicle production
Passenger cars
The vehicles were powered by a four-cylinder engine with a displacement of 4490 cm³ and an output of 30 hp . The wheelbase was 342.9 cm. The maximum speed was given as 70 km / h. The vehicles offered space for six people in their open touring car bodies.
commercial vehicles
The first commercial vehicles were based on a design by Fiat . It was possibly the 5-ton model, the engine of which had a displacement of 7400 cc. In addition, Model A was created as a licensed version of the Crossley RFC. In the 1920s, the plant manufactured trucks like the Ja-3 and, with the Ja-6, also a bus. In the 1930s, increasingly heavier trucks such as the JaG-6 followed . During this time the plant operated as Jaroslawski Gosudarstwnenny Awtomobilny Sawod (German State Jaroslawler Automobilwerk).
After the Second World War, a new generation of trucks was designed around the JaAZ-210 . This included, among other things, a model with all-wheel drive, the JaAZ-214 . Various prototypes were also made, including the JaAZ-218. It was a three-way tipper that could also be operated with tipping trailers and had a payload of ten tons. The vehicle presented in 1954 or 1957, depending on the source, never went into series production.
There was also the JaAZ-219 , which was originally built on the chassis of the JaAZ-210, but used the engine and cab of the JaAZ-214. Developed by JaAZ, it was first manufactured in Yaroslavl for two years from 1957 and then manufactured at KrAZ under the name KrAZ-219 . A tractor for heavy semi-trailers was developed under the name JaAZ-221, and the dump truck version was designated as the JaAZ-222. These trucks also went into series production at JaAZ in 1957 and were manufactured by KrAZ as KrAZ-221 and KrAZ-222 from 1959 . However, they continued to receive engines from JaAZ and JaMZ.
In addition to the series of heavy trucks around the JaAZ-210, the plant developed the lighter JaAZ-200 as early as the end of World War II , but its production was transferred to the Minski Avtomobilny Sawod in 1951 . Here the trucks as MAZ-200 and MAZ-205 (the version as a tipper, previously called JaAZ-205) continued until 1965. Here, too, engines from JaMZ were used, as was the case with subsequent generations of trucks up to the present day.
In 1959, vehicle production in Yaroslavl ended for good. The following list of models endeavors to be complete, but there may be occasional gaps. The first year of construction is always given in brackets, if known.
