The development of the company’s engineers — the KAMAZ-65805 dump truck — was presented at the international exhibition of machinery and equipment for the mining and processing industry MiningWorld Russia-2020, which is taking place these days in Moscow.

The 60-ton KAMAZ-65805-002-91 dump truck that debuted this summer
designed for transporting rock in medium and small quarries in areas with moderate and cold climates.

“Due to its technical characteristics, the truck provides the best performance in the industry,” said Sergey Nazarenko, Chief Designer of Innovative Vehicles at the company’s R&D – KAMAZ-65805 was designed for permissible loads increased up to 12 tons on steering axles and drive axles with a load of up to 21 tons. Michelin X Works multi-layer tires in size 325/95R24 are designed for use on low-quality roads (gravel, grader), construction sites with muddy soil and quarries with rock chips. It should be noted that the specific pressure on the ground is reduced due to a larger contact spot of all wheels.”

KAMAZ is preparing to release the KAMAZ-54901 prime mover in a new High-Tech version.

In particular, the truck was equipped with the ADAS system (advanced driver-assistance systems) – adaptive cruise control, which allows you to keep a distance behind the vehicle in front in automatic mode.

In addition, the Hi-Tech version will be equipped with a 6-cylinder KAMAZ R6 engine with a capacity of 550 HP. the basic version is equipped with a 450 HP engine.
The gearbox is the same as the ZF Traxon, but it will be a different version for increased torque. Additionally, it will be equipped with a retarder – a hydraulic retarder brake.

The KAMAZ-65805 dump truck, named Atlant, is undergoing test runs as part of preliminary testing.

The first sample of a dump truck of the KAMAZ-65805 quarry class has a load capacity of 60 tons. The dump truck is made in a rock version for transporting rocks. The truck is equipped with a 12-liter KAMAZ-910.11 500 HP engine and an Allison hydro-mechanical automatic gearbox, which ensures smooth gear shifting without interrupting the power flow.

“Atlant was developed in the category of Autonomous Ready, so it is ready to become a robot after being equipped with the necessary sensors. The engine, gearbox, brake system, and steering are all designed to be controlled by electronic signals. The second prototype of this truck will already be made in the form of a robot truck,” said Sergey Nazarenko, the Chief Designer of Innovative Vehicles at the R&D of KAMAZ PTC.
