At the exhibition dedicated to the 80th anniversary of the Victory, a truck with the 65956 index and a 6×4 whether 6×4 index appeared in Kazan. We are talking about a heavy K5 tractor: the total mass of a roadway will reach 120 tons!

The technique is standard: with a 560-horsepower P6 engine, a 16-speed “mechanics” is combined.
It turned out which KAMAZ line K3 will be the first to resign
KAMAZ-65956 with the rear leading bridges (6×4) is the further development of the line of heavy tractors. Such machines began to be tested four years ago, the series was planned in 2022, but due to the sanctions, the work of de facto had to begin again.

In the future, the dump trucks of the K5 line to displace the old KAMAZ-6520 K3 family trucks from the gamut. However, so far heavy trucks are produced only with “mechanics”: refinement of the automated transmission continues.

According to forecasts, over the year, the total number of new trucks sold in our country will not exceed 65 thousand pieces.
