History
The successor to the Star 244 truck also intended to partially replace the Star 266 - mainly for the needs of the Polish Armed Forces and energy companies.[1]
The Star 744 was produced in three versions, differing in cabins. The basic version had a cabin for two people, the version for energy companies - an additional cabin for 6 people, and the version for the "Geofizyka" company - a large cabin and luggage area. Special equipment was also placed on the chassis of the Star 744 - it was sometimes equipped with an electrically powered winch with a pulling force of 45 kN. The T359E engine had 109 hp at 2400 rpm from a capacity of 4.56 L and a maximum torque of 400 Nm at 1400 rpm.[1] The vehicle's load capacity is up to 2000 kg of cargo and 6 people (600 kg).[2]
32 trucks were delivered to the Polish Army in 1999 and 50 in 2000.[3]
There are also known examples of the use of the Star 744 in Maritime Search And Rescue Service.[4]
