Historical Background

In the late 1930s, the Soviet BT-7 cavalry tank was equipped with a V-2 diesel engine. The modernised modification was called the BT-7M and was produced until September 1940. The more economical diesel engine not only reduced the tank's fire hazard, but also increased the tank's cruising range by two and a half times.
