The MAZ project was developed at the end of the 1970s, its chassis was made in 1982. All the works were kept in high secrecy and even today nobody wants to share the reason it was created. Load capacity – 220 tons, loaded weight – 360 tons. Width – 6,8 m, length – 32,2 m, height – 3,45 m, Bridgestone wheel diameter – 2,8 m, wheel arrangement – 12×12. The chassis has two motors, one is the previously mentioned 1250 hp motor, the other one is an ordinary 330 hp diesel engine, it has two parallel hydro mechanical transmissions. The vehicle drove out of the shop only according to a strict schedule when no spy satellites were flying over Minsk (Belarus). That chassis was sent to Baikonur for testing, where its dark history came to an end.
