LASKA light all-terrain truck▪

1. The mission of the project

Modern Russia has vast territories where there are no roads or their quality does not allow the use of conventional commercial vehicles. A huge number of settlements, deposits, forestry, power lines, gas pipelines and scientific facilities need inexpensive, reliable and universal transport.

The mission of the LASKA project is to create a modern domestic light cargo all—terrain vehicle that can operate daily where an ordinary car is no longer able to move.

LASKA is designed for operation:

• The Arctic;
• The Far North;
• tundra;
• swamps;
• taiga;
• virgin snow;
• forest roads;
• sandy areas;
• steppe;
• rural area;
• island territories;
• technological roads of the oil and gas industry.

Main areas of application:

• supply of remote facilities;
• transportation of people;
• cargo transportation;
• emergency recovery work;
• energy industry;
• gas industry;
• oil industry;
• forestry;
• Geology;
• communication;
• fire departments;
• Ministry OF Emergency Situations;
• medicine;
• agriculture;
• tourism;
• expeditions.

2. The philosophy of the LASKA brand

The name LASKA was not chosen by chance.

The weasel is one of the smallest, fastest and incredibly agile predatory animals. She is able to penetrate where much larger animals cannot.

It was this idea that formed the basis of the car.

Brand Philosophy

Small size. Great opportunities.

LASKA does not aim to be the biggest machine.

** She strives to be:**

• as passable as possible;
• as reliable as possible;
• as simple as possible;
• as functional as possible.

The basic principles of the brand:

• Engineering instead of decorative.
• Simplicity instead of complexity.
• Reliability instead of fashionable solutions.
• Durability instead of disposable equipment.
• Functionality instead of excessive design.

LASKA is a professional's tool.

3. General concept and design

The main idea of the project is to create a modern industrial car that will look technologically advanced and relevant for many more years.

Key Design Features of RenderWorks Industrial Design:

• simple flat panels;
• minimum of complex surfaces;
• a minimum of decorative elements;
• high technological efficiency of production;
• the possibility of manufacturing parts by laser cutting and bending;
• modular cabin design;
• minimum number of stamped parts.

The front part

The front part is inspired by the image of a weasel:

• compact;
• slightly pointed;
• "predatory look" of round headlights;
• narrow LED DRLs;
• wide protective bumper;
• high visibility.

Cabin

The cabin is as functional as possible.

Features:

• large glasses;
• thin racks;
• excellent visibility;
• comfortable fit;
• large doors;
• high roof.

Bodywork

All body panels are made as simple as possible.

Almost every part can be made without expensive stamping tooling.

4. Engineering solutions

LASKA's design focuses on operational efficiency.

Chassis

• frame construction;
• reinforced ladder frame;
• high margin of safety;
• modularity.

Pendant

• dependent;
• pavement;
• reinforced springs or springs;
• large suspension strokes.

Wheels

Ultra-low pressure tires provide:

• minimum ground pressure;
• movement through the swamps;
• driving in the snow;
• movement on the sand;
• movement through the peat bogs.

Transmission

• 4x4 all-wheel drive;
• downshift;
• differential locks;
• reinforced bridges;
• High torque.

Cabin

• safety framework;
• anti-corrosion protection;
• insulation;
• preparation for an autonomous heater.

Production

The design is focused on:

• laser cutting;
• flexibility;
• welding;
• powder coating.

Minimizing expensive molds significantly reduces the cost of production.

5. Key advantages over existing machines

• Modern industrial design
• Simple production
• Minimum of complex body parts
• Low manufacturing cost
• High maintainability
• Greater unification of details
• High throughput
• Low ground pressure
• Simple modular architecture
• The possibility of producing a large family of machines
• Modern LED optics
• High visibility cabin
• Easy maintenance in the field

8. The bottom line

LASKA is a modern light all—terrain truck designed with an engineering approach to construction, production and operation. The project combines up-to-date industrial design, high cross-country capability, ease of manufacture and extensive modular adaptation capabilities for various tasks.

Thanks to the use of simple flat body panels, laser cutting and bending technology, a unified chassis and modular architecture, LASKA becomes not just a separate model, but a universal platform for creating a whole family of specialized equipment.

The project is aimed at government agencies, industry, the energy sector, the oil and gas industry, forestry, emergency services and private operators who need a reliable, modern and cost-effective all-terrain vehicle to operate in the most difficult conditions.
