The gas and diesel KAMAZ-54901 (4×2) truck tractor was presented at the specialized forum and exhibition Ural Transport, which took place in Ufa from September 27 to September 29, 2021.

KAMAZ presented the gas-diesel KAMAZ-54901 truck tractor at its exhibition stand. The dual-fuel vehicle is an offspring of the K5 freight truck line. It is equipped with a new 450-horsepower KAMAZ R6 (Euro 5) engine. The dual-fuel motor uses a mixture of diesel and compressed natural gas (CNG) in the ratio 60/40, respectively. This helps save diesel fuel greatly by operation. The automated gearbox installed is ZF 12TX2210TD.

The truck is equipped with a 400-liter fuel tank and four gas cylinders of 100 liters each. The driving distance in the gas-diesel mode is 500 km. The total cruising range is 1,300 km. The cab on a spring four-point suspension is high and 2,500 mm wide. It can be equipped with one or two berths.

Serial production and sales of the gas-diesel KAMAZ-54901 are scheduled for the first half of 2022.

The Ural Transport Forum is a permanent platform for sharing international experience in the road transport industry and establishing business contacts between domestic and foreign companies. Its priority area is to study the development and functioning of the transport industry, to strengthen mutual understanding between representatives of government authorities, the business community and science. The exhibition held during the forum is the largest regional industry exposition in Russia. It annually brings together the largest market players – road construction organizations, manufacturers of machinery and equipment, dealers of domestic and foreign car manufacturers, designers of road-transport technologies and infrastructure, and haulage services.

The four-axle AWD dump truck of the latest K5 generation was presented at the 26th International specialized exhibition of equipment and technologies for the oil and gas industry “Surgut. Oil and Gas-2021″, which took place in Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug – Yugra.

The “Surgut. Oil and Gas” exhibition is a platform where the latest developments of Russian and foreign companies in oil and gas production, transportation and processing are demonstrated. More than 120 companies representing 50 regions of Russia and foreign countries take part in the exhibition every year. This year, in three days, more than seven thousand guests and participants visited the site.

In addition to the business part of the program, where experts and participants discussed the most pressing issues of the industry, the presented samples of machinery and equipment for the oil and gas industry aroused particular interest. In its exposition, R&D Center Evrika Trade, the official dealer of KAMAZ in Tyumen Oblast, presented an all-wheel drive four-axle dump truck of the latest generation K5 – the KAMAZ-65953 designed for off-road operation and ideal for use in oil and gas production.

KAMAZ was the first to use automated transmissions on such dump trucks. Now, the driver controls the heavy vehicle more easily. The more spacious K5 cab reduces the driver’s fatigue noticeably. So, labor productivity should increase.

The 20-cbm body of the dump truck is made of wear-resistant steel. It can withstand abrasives for a long time. The heating resists soil adhesion.

The truck features a reinforced frame and drive axles with a carrying capacity of up to 32 tonnes, a metal bumper for protection, as well as a metal mesh on the headlights and radiator. The cab of the vehicle is 2,300 mm wide, without a berth, which is, though, optional.

Test drives of the KAMA3-43083 unmanned vehicle continue at the KAMAZ factory site.

The test operation of the KAMA3-43083 unmanned vehicle began in 2020. The truck without a driver is mastering the logistics of delivering cabs fr om the press and stamping plant to the automobile plant. Today the software of the vehicle is being tested, the engineers of the Scientific and Technical Center of the company are making changes, the truck is being finalized.

The project for the transportation of components using robotic vehicles was named Odyssey. This is one of the company’s steps towards creating vehicles for work in hazardous areas. While we are talking about logistics operations on the roads in the perimeter of the industrial site of KAMAZ. In general, such vehicles can be used in any industry where shuttle transportation is required along predetermined routes.

The Odyssey is assembled on the basis of the KAMAZ-43083 diesel truck. The truck is equipped with four types of sensors at once: “eyes” and other “senses” of the truck are replaced by video cameras, radars, lidars – laser rangefinders and sonars. The autobot has high-precision navigation (with an error of no more than 3-5 cm) and a communication system: industrial Wi-Fi, 4G and a special VHF band in case other communication channels are jammed, that is, an emergency channel. All data from the sensors go to the main brain of the truck – the computer, wh ere the incoming information about the motion parameters is calculated. Based on this, a decision is made on how the machine behaves and how to perform the task correctly.
