At the exhibition dedicated to the 80th anniversary of the Victory, the Motor managed to talk with the representative of the auto giant and ask a question about the prospects for replacing old trucks with the K5 family model. Until at least 2028, KAMAZ KAMAZ will remain in the ranks, and the first to resign the dump truck with a 6×4 wheels and the 6520 index. The replacement from the K5 is already ready and is collected in series.

The auto giant “imported” KAMAZ-6595 dump trucks: in the configurator there are trucks with wheel formulas 6×4, 6×6 and 8×4 with platforms of various volumes. It is these machines that will be supplanted from the KAMAZ-6520 gamma and modifications. The transition to trucks with a new cab will allow auto giant to compete with Chinese dump trucks, which have filled the Russian market to the problems of Shaacman.

The representative of the plant emphasized that at the moment there is no replacement for a total of qualities with an all -wheel drive truck. The same applies to specialized vehicles with K3 cabins: for state orders, the car of the old line is still non -alternative.
