Last Friday, five cars were displayed in front of the Organ Hall in Naberezhnye Chelny in honor of the plant’s achievements in the anniversary year. A refrigerator with a “sloth” lifting axle entered production in the summer, a tractor with a similar design of drive axles, an all-wheel drive dump truck with a 6×6 wheel arrangement, and an Atlant-49 mining dump truck will soon go into production. That’s why the city bus created a sensation.
The KamAZ press service did not mention the new product, there was no stand with characteristics, and a photograph of the single-volume vehicle was found only in the BUSINESS Online report. Judging by the low floor, the number of doors, the shape of the wheel arches and the front mask, we are talking about a city bus of the KamAZ-5222 family. The first mention of the successor to NefAZ-5299 appeared in the fall of 2021, but sanctions intervened and the debut was delayed.
Carriers complained about “anti-sanction” NefAZ buses The new KamAZ Vega bus turned out to be significantly cheaper than expected KamAZ will begin producing a new type of public transport in 2024
The auto giant has already shown the tourist version of the NefAZ-5222, but the city bus only has the same lighting technology: otherwise the body is completely different! According to preliminary data, the innovations are not only design: the anti-corrosion resistance will improve due to cataphoretic priming with full immersion, the bus itself will become a ton lighter and will get rid of expansion joints between the base and the sidewalls.
The new family of city buses will be produced in parallel with the old NefAZ-5299, originally from the 2000s, because the city bestseller recently underwent another modernization. Also, middle-class buses with the indexes “4280” and “4290” appeared in the KamAZ line.
