The starting price of 16 million rubles for a dump truck with a 6×6 wheel arrangement is high, because the usual KamAZ-43118 with a K3 cab can be purchased for 8.5-9 million rubles. Chinese Sitrak 6×6 all-wheel drive dump trucks cost 14-15 million rubles. However, after the recycling fee increases from January 1, 2025 and in the event of further weakening of the ruble, the situation may change.
