The ZiL-131 was the Soviet Army’s main off-road truck in the 1970s and 1980s. Its mass production began in 1967. This vehicle was characterized by high reliability and good on-road performance.
The base model was used primarily to transport passengers or cargo with a payload capacity of 5 metric tons.
These trucks were delivered to Warsaw Pact countries, as well as to many countries in Asia and Africa.
There were many variants of the ZiL-131 for the Soviet Army and civilian use. Between 1967 and 1990, the ZiL plant produced approximately 1,000,000 trucks. An improved model, the ZiL-131N, was produced starting in 1986, and production was later transferred to the Ural Automotive Plant. To this day, small batches of chassis for various special-purpose vehicles are still being produced.
