ICM 72551 ZIL-157 Soviet command vehicle

The ZiŁ-157 is a Soviet truck from the post-war period. The car was presented to the public for the first time in the second half of the 1950s, and serial production continued in 1958-1992 at the ZiŁ plant in Moscow. In total, about 798,000 cars of this type were produced. The drive was provided by a single 6-cylinder engine with a power of 109 HP. The power transmission was provided by a 5-speed gearbox.

The ZiŁ-157 was developed and put into production as the new basic truck of the Soviet Army. Later, it was planned to be replaced with Ural375 or Ził-131 cars, but the design turned out to be so successful that its production lasted until the beginning of the 1990s! During the long production period, the vehicle underwent two major modernizations: in 1961, when the ZiŁ-157K model was launched, and in 1978, when the ZIL-157KD model was launched. During its long service, the ZiŁ-157 was primarily used as a transport vehicle, but its specialized versions were also created, e.g. a tanker car or a command vehicle. The car was also licensed in the PRC as the Jiefang CA-30. It is worth adding that the BTR-152W armored personnel carrier was also developed on the ZiŁ-a-157 chassis.
