D2866 engine and a ZF 16S-160 gearbox was a surprise exhibit at the Hamburg motor show, where MAN unveiled plans to supply up to 5,000 drivelines a year to the Soviets, representing 10% of the annual production at MAZ's Minsk plant.
Four vehicles fitted with the 265kW 12-litre engine are being evaluated and it was one of these, in the colours of the Soviet state haulier Sovtransavto, that appeared at Hamburg. It is likely that the USSR will export the units to Middle East and Eastern European countries. The MAZ 64226 5x 4 steel tractor was coupled to a Soviet-built semi-trailer.
