Historical and technical information

The KrAZ-214B is an improved version of the KrAZ-214 military truck, produced from 1960 to 1967 at the Kremenchuk factory. This vehicle was mainly used by the Soviet Army as a military transport truck and as a platform for specialized bodies. Thanks to its 6x6 drive and high ground clearance, the KrAZ-214B performed excellently in difficult terrain, which made it an extremely versatile and valued logistics transport vehicle during military operations and exercises throughout the Cold War. It was widely used in the USSR, Poland, Czechoslovakia, and other socialist countries.
