Urban lorry Hyundai HD35 City

Instead of Porter bestseller on the market of the proposed lorry HD35 City

Everyone remembers the lorry TagAZ Porter, in fact, represents the first generation of solid models of Hyundai Porter is very well received on the Russian market – in fact, her side and the van version of the GAZ-2310 "Sobol" has remained on the sidelines until there was a Korean release of the lorry at the factory TagAZ. It was replaced by the second-generation model of Hyundai Porter II, which, however, the Russian representation of Hyundai Truck&Bus has not been officially certified, but its popularity is not particularly affected – offer grey dealers (even with nutriversal guarantee) quite reliable and tough LCV market remained. However, everything flows, everything changes – and Porter II somewhat obsolete, and the price increased significantly due to the fall of the ruble and restrictions on the purchase of imported cars for state and municipal enterprises also demand increased.



Answer Hyundai Truck&Bus was 1,5-ton model HD35 (in Korea HD36), launched on Russian market in 2014. Nevertheless, the Russian specificity made to provide another version of the lorry, specially designed for urban operation. Such a model under the symbol HD35C (City) was presented at the ComTrans 2017. The Assembly of the lorry began at the plant "Avtotor" in Kaliningrad in the spring of 2018. Truck you can control with the rights of a category "In".



The main difference of new model from the City HD35 HD35 – tapered, but also triple cabin from the HD series with a lowered entry height (the height of a step of 0.52 m), rear axle from model Porter with low-profile tires of dimension 5.50R13 (front 205/65R16) that has allowed to lower the height of the frame and a loading height of 1080 mm and the useful volume of the body, on the contrary, to increase.






 This razmernosti typical Asian design school – in other severe chetyrehosnyj found up to three tire sizes. However, the spare wheels have to carry two. However, curb weight HD35C was less than HD35 – 1823 kg 1970 kg.



The attachment of the wheels on the five studs without Hutorok, and the rear wheels are mounted with conical nuts, optimality which has already confirmed the operation. By the way, "Stepney" descends and descends a small pulley, driven lever part of the tool kit.


  
Outwardly, the truck looks "smaller brother" of the popular medium duty model HD78 – the same trapezoidal headlights, solid metal bumper that goes under the corner of the bottom edge of the glass doors, far enough apart brackets of the mirrors (however, first, I wish they were even wider).



 access to the cockpit easier for widely open doors and grab bars in the corners of the openings (wish that was still respectable). The interior designers have provided for the "livening up" in the form of pads on the instrument panel "mahogany". The instrument cluster includes everything you need – speedometer, tachometer with readable scales, fuel level, and coolant temperature.



 the Visibility is good enough.



The volume of the glove box is small, but the sheets of A4 folded to fit freely.



For small things there are two niches on the panel, and a holder for liter bottle on the console.



The lever of the MCP includes a lacquered box is quite convenient. Interestingly enough solved the ergonomic driver's seat – it is relatively limited is regulated only in two positions, but the steering column is adjustable not only in height but also on the flight, which facilitates the selection of a comfortable fit for drivers of any build. Never crowded, although pedals is made very dense. That's just the placement of the Jack seemed badly designed – under the passenger seat, and, without proper support.



When riding liked the precise shifting new 6-speed box M6AR1 with the top two gears and improves a comfortable force on the clutch pedal. Under the cabin at HD35C now available 4-cylinder 2.5-liter turbo diesel D4CB with Common Rail and EGR with an intercooler and a regenerated diesel particulate filter that develops 130 HP and 255 N•m at 2000 min–1. By the way, on the model HD35 engine is more powerful – 136 HP fuel Consumption comparable with domestic HD35C "GAZelle" with a diesel engine.



Differs from HD35C HD35 Long and Porter and geometrical parameters: the base is shorter by 40 mm than the lorry, but the rear overhang is longer by 9% than odnotonno a capacity increased by a ton. The frame is fitted with side with a greater thickness of the profile. The front is equipped with a more powerful stabilizer bar and shock absorber. Brakes dual circuit hydraulic with vacuum booster. Interestingly, in contrast to the HD35 rear brakes are disk and drum, more suitable 13-duesmois wheels. The hand brake like on any car tether on both rear wheels that is preferable to traditional truck Hyundai transmission Parking brake.



Body choices for HD35C is quite broad: in addition to Board and tent platforms, a wide selection of wagon-boxes as manufactured goods (volume of 11.37 m3) under four europalette, and insulated and refrigerated type. In addition, the proposed CMU and a tow truck.

By the way, reefer body internal volume of 11.37 m3 for 4 europalety and equipped with a refrigeration unit for the transport of goods with special temperature conditions. Insulated van body is made of 50 mm sandwich panels with internal 1,5 mm veneer of reinforced plastic. The same technology is made and the outer cladding. The light body arranged in a minimization of the influence on the temperature regime to which the led strip on the ceiling is laid along the entire length of the van in aluminum boxes. Tying the body and frame of the rear door is made of galvanized metal. The platform bottom is protected with plastic from the aggressive effects of the road.
