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.

KAMAZ explained why the release of the flagship K5 is not the main priority

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