Atamaan Truck Tractor: Technical Specifications and Features

An overview of the Atamaan truck tractor from Iran Khodro Diesel, one of the few economical tractor units available on the market. The Atamaan's story dates back to the mid-2010s, when Iran Khodro Diesel moved toward a partnership with Foton.

Introduction and review of Ataman Iran Khodro diesel tractor, which is one of the few economic tractors available in the market.

It was the middle of the nineties when Iran Khodro Diesel went to partner with Foton. As a result of this cooperation, the Photon H4 or Photon 430 tractor was assembled in the production line of Iran Khodro Diesel. As an economic killer, Photon H4 had relatively acceptable sales in the Iranian market and has been able to continue its presence in the market until now. But in 1401, Iran Khodro Diesel decided to launch an economic tractor named Ataman using the photon H4 tractor room and Mercedes-Benz design engine and axle placement. Ataman was placed one level below Photon H4 and according to the strategy of Iran Khodro Diesel, Ataman was placed between Photon H4 and Wagon Hood series. At times, there were rumors about Ataman being replaced with an old Wagon Hood truck, but so far these rumors have not turned into reality.

The Ataman design is identical to the Photon H4 with only minor changes. The lights are relatively small and equipped with daytime running lights. A large part of the front view of Ataman is dedicated to the front window, where the Iran Khodro logo and matte chrome flaps are part of the front window. Position lights and Ataman's Latin logotype can also be seen on the roof.

Ataman's side mirrors have appropriate dimensions and are black in color. In the design of the doors and the side view in general, an attempt has been made to reduce the simplicity of this view by drawing lines and creating multiple volumes. There are no decorative flaps on the side guards of Ataman, and the beard of this killer is located in the rear part of the chassis. The dimensions of Ataman are 6490, 2490 and 3890 mm respectively in length, width and height, and the distance between its two axles is 3800 mm.

Iran Khodro Diesel was able to assemble the OM457LA engine in Idem when it was engaged in the production of the Mercedes-Benz Axor tractor. The Ataman tractor is also equipped with the same 12,000 cc turbocharger engine. This engine has the ability to produce 430 horsepower and 2100 Nm of torque. According to Iran Khodro Diesel, Ataman's emission standard will be Euro 4. The ZF 16-speed manual gearbox delivers the production power of this engine to the Ataman wheels.

Ataman's aluminum tank has a capacity of 800 liters, and the 80-liter Adblue tank is responsible for reducing pollution. Iran Khodro Diesel has used a parabolic spring suspension system with hydraulic shock absorbers and waveguide shaft in both the front and rear axles of Ataman so that everything is as economical as possible. Of course, as we mentioned at the beginning of the article, one of the differences between Ataman and Photon H4 is the use of different Excel. Radial tubeless tires are also paired with 22.5-inch steel rims.

Inside Ataman's cabin, the first point is the excessive simplicity and lack of many safety and comfort facilities. In fact, Iran Khodro Diesel has tried to make Ataman in the most economical mode possible. The quality level of the tools inside the cabin is not very good and one should not expect high durability. Rodri have a simple design and access to tools on them is convenient. The driver's seat and Ataman's apprentice are completely manually adjusted and there is no pneumatic seat. The cluster and steering wheel have a simple design and there is no special detail in this part. Of course, it should be noted that the keys related to cruise control and radio system settings are located on the four-spoke Ataman steering wheel.

The dashboard set has a simple design, and in its design, tools have been tried to be easily accessible to the driver. Due to the presence of a floor in the Ataman cabin, the passenger space is not very comfortable, and the gear lever and handbrake lever are located in the middle of the cabin. In the rear part of the cabin, by providing two beds, it has been tried to provide minimum facilities for the passengers of Ataman to rest.

But the main criticism of Ataman and Iran Khodro Diesel is the lack of many safety and welfare facilities. In a situation where many tractors in the market are equipped with some functions of the ADAS system, the stability control system is not used in Ataman. The manufacturer is expected to reconsider its adopted policy regarding Ataman.

As an economical product of Iran Khodro Diesel, Ataman is trying to attract an audience with a limited budget. Of course, in this Ataman, we are facing many deficiencies that must be resolved so that the killer is able to compete with the competitors. According to some rumors, this killer will face reforms in the near future. Considering the current situation of Ataman, buying this killer is not very logical. It is suggested to go for second-hand European models or take a look at products such as Photon H4, Dongfeng KL-465, Vera Y3 and Faw J6P-460 gear.
