The Sollers Atlant model line is represented by semi-cover vehicles with a gross weight of 2.5 to 4.2 tons. You can choose from various types of vans, a 15-seater bus and special purpose vehicles. The range of power sources includes only diesel engines with a displacement of 1.9 liters (139 hp) and 2.7 liters (150 hp). We’ll take a closer look at the latter, as it will be the most popular.
This 4-cylinder, 16-valve in-line engine has a timing chain drive, a common rail fuel system and urea injection. Our drivers do not like this solution, because the solution is afraid of frost. And urea smells really bad, it’s poisonous and you can’t buy it everywhere. Especially on the job. If we talk about the fuel system, then it has high pressure. This suggests that you should only refuel with high-quality fuel at proven gas stations.
Sales have not really started yet, but questions about the operation are already emerging. Only the first winter will provide answers.
Finally, one more interesting fact. Marketers have calculated that over a five-year horizon, the total cost of ownership of Argo will be ₽ 14.88 / km, and Atlanta – ₽ 16.91 / km. At the same time, the Ford Transit cost 16.07 ₽/km. It turns out that the “American” is slightly more profitable. However, now the cost of spare parts and maintenance comes to the fore, and there may be nuances. So let’s wish the manufacturer good luck and see how buyers will accept the new “Chinese” with a Russian residence permit.
