Torque ZIL 131

Torque. This is the force with which the car's engine turns the crankshaft. The torque force is traditionally measured either in kilonewtons, which is more accurate from the point of view of physics, or in kilograms per meter, which is more familiar to us. Big torque means fast start and fast acceleration. And low, that the car is not a race, but just a car. Again, you need to look at the mass of the car, a massive car needs serious torque, while a light car will live just fine without it.

The torque of ZIL 131 is from 366 to 402 N * m.
