Английская Википедия:DAC 6135
Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Infobox automobile The DAC 6135 was a Romanian truck that was produced from 1975 to 1992 by Diesel Auto Camion (DAC) in Brașov. It proved popular in Romania and was also exported. Based on the preceding SR 113 Bucegi of 1962 but powered by a Шаблон:Cvt 6-cylinder Saviem diesel engine, the truck could carry a payload of Шаблон:Cvt. It was available as the 6135R base model with three different wheelbases, a tipper and a tractor, as well as the four-wheel drive 6135RA and 6135RAN. The truck was to be succeeded by the more advanced 8135 in 1985, but stayed in limited production alongside it for several years.
Design and development
In 1954, the Romanian truck manufacturer SR, (Шаблон:Lang named in honour of the Communist movement, introduced a Шаблон:Cvt truck made in their factory in Brașov. The model, inspired by Russian designs, was available in a range of sizes, with either diesel or petrol engines.Шаблон:Sfn The SR 113 Bucegi of 1962 was typical. Powered by a Шаблон:Convert V8 diesel engine, the truck had a capacity of Шаблон:Cvt. The truck was popular amongst users in Romania and was also exported by Kașinexport.Шаблон:Sfn
As the following decade progressed, and particularly after the 1973 oil crisis, there was a desire for vehicles with greater fuel efficiency. In consequence, in 1975, Diesel Auto Camion (DAC) introduced the 6135. Derived from the Bucegi, the new model replaced the V8 with a lighter and more fuel-efficient 6-cylinder engine, and had slight alterations to the grille. The 6135 was a normal control truck with a ladder type frame manufactured in four wheelbases: Шаблон:Cvt, Шаблон:Cvt, Шаблон:Cvt and Шаблон:Cvt. These corresponded to three overall lengths: Шаблон:Cvt, Шаблон:Cvt, Шаблон:Cvt and Шаблон:Cvt. Overall width and height to the top of the cab were both Шаблон:Cvt. The Шаблон:Cvt 797-05 engine was a Saviem design and longitudinally mounted under the hood. Power output was Шаблон:Cvt. Drive was to the rear wheels through a single plate clutch, five speed ZF manual transmission and two speed spiral bevel gears. The brakes were air-assisted. Maximum speed was Шаблон:Convert.Шаблон:Sfn
The steel cab accommodated three people.Шаблон:Sfn The basic model was termed the 6135R and had a load capacity of Шаблон:Convert. The truck was also produced with a tipper as the 6135RK and as a tractor as the 6135RS. A four wheel drive version was also available named the 6135RA and 6135RAN.Шаблон:Sfn
Production
Production commenced in 1975. The truck soon became popular, both as a general transport for goods, and in more specialised roles, including as a mobile workshop to support urban tram and trolleybus networks. The truck soon came to dominate the streets of Romania, particularly as a transport for bread and other foods. Improvements were made in 1980, when non-structural steel parts of the design, including the hood, were replaced by plastic, saving Шаблон:Convert in weight.Шаблон:Sfn
By 1983, the plant had been renamed Intreprindea de Autocamione Brasov.Шаблон:Sfn Production was to cease with the introduction of the 8135 as a replacement in 1985, but the popularity of the truck meant it was still manufactured, although in smaller quantities, throughout the decade. The truck was exported, increasingly helped by the favourable exchange rate of the Romanian lei, which meant the export price of a 6135N in 1988 was $4890.Шаблон:Sfn Exports continued after the Fall of the Berlin Wall, increasingly to Western countries like Germany and the United States, but against greater competition from more advanced products.Шаблон:Sfn In 1990, the manufacturer, now known as Roman, continued small scale production of the 6135 without change under the original brand DAC.Шаблон:Sfn However, the end was in sight. By 1992, production had ceased.Шаблон:Sfn
