Description
The MAZ-7410 tractor is a prime mover with a shorter wheelbase based on the MAZ-543 series vehicle, which was specialized in carrying numerous missile and artillery systems such as the Elbrus SCUD and the BM-30 SMERCH heavy multiple rocket launcher system. Powered by a standard tank’s 38.9-liter diesel engine, the MAZ-7410 contains two separate cab compartments on each side of the engine for a total crew of 4. Sharing both the engine and various components from the MAZ-537 family, the MAZ-7410 was developed to haul and transport heavy loads and vehicles with the use of the various towed semi-trailers.
