Technical characteristics:
Cursor Engines
Cursor engines with a displacement of 13 liters, electronically controlled pump-injector and camshafts provide excellent elasticity and great stopping power, which is very important for the operation of the vehicle on the construction site due to the excellent performance of torque throughout the rev range of the engine and a new exhaust brake in the exhaust system motor.
Transmission
The whole range of transmissions HD9 new model has been developed to perform the most complex and demanding. To ensure flexibility and versatility of its vehicles, the company offers a wide range of Astra transmissions, satisfying all requirements.
Manual
Adapted manual gearbox ZF technology Ecosplit 4, with 16 gears to move forward and 2 gears to reverse, as well as improved and upgraded servo synchromesh clutch, providing the driver a great help especially when driving with a load.
Robotic box
Astronic ZF with 16 gears and drive clutch and gearshift.
This transmission allows the driver to intervene at any point in its work,
moving from automatic to manual mode switching.

Main gear
Astra Company offers bridges axles maximum load of 8 to 9 tons for vehicles in any configuration with incomplete or complete drive (with the appropriate tires and suspension). In addition, depending on the type of operation the customer can choose the most suitable for his final drive ratio in the range of 3.793 to 6.588.
For some models (6x6 and 8x6) and for extremely heavy-duty can be ordered reinforced axle Kessler with a maximum load of 8 m (maximum speed of 90 km / h) to 10 m (maximum speed of 70 km / h) with special axle ratio.
Suspension
Cars model line HD9 equipped with parabolic leaf springs on the front and rear axles for enhanced comfort and noise reduction. As laboratory and practical tests confirmed that during normal operation of the vehicle the average life of the parabolic springs is two times higher than the previous design.
For installation with a high center of gravity and heavy-duty vehicle on request can also be equipped with a semi springs.
semi-elliptic leaf springs and pressure molded earrings, designed with the high degree of security, can achieve the highest level of quality in this segment.
rakes
On models HD9 used drum brakes with two Lug devices (Duo Duplex) at each wheel for a more balanced braking and more even wear mechanisms, thereby increasing their lifespan.The brake system is kept clean through the air treatment unit APU, which includes several valves.
deceleration control system implemented EBL (electronic braking force limiting system) system and ABS, which provide a braking force to each wheel without the risk of being locked regardless of the load vehicle.
