There are no analogues in the world: KAMAZ-54907 CONTINENT is a prototype of the K6 family. It continues the line of vehicles of the new family, but brings it to a completely different technological level.

The new truck is an energy-efficient long haul prime mover. KAMAZ-54907 is a hybrid truck with an electric engine that allows to go for tens of kilometers. It is planned that the truck will be used when moving in the factory and warehouses (it has no exhaust), as well as when going up in a mountain or skidding (fuel economy). The truck has a P6 engine with reduced fuel consumption-less than 25 liters per 100 kilometers.

The truck is designed for one driver. There is only one seat in the cabin, and this frees up a huge amount of space for a comfortable life of the driver inside the vehicle.

In the cabin there is a refrigerator, microwave and multicooker (integrated into the overall interior), washbasin, mirror, safe with a combination lock, a bed of superior comfort.

The dashboard is an LCD-display which has all the necessary indicators. It is complemented with a touch screen with a diagonal of 15.5 inches. It is the on-Board system of the truck, which implements various features: navigation, Internet surfing, watching videos, listening to audio, clock, weather forecast, power reserve, fuel balance, time before the next servicing and much more.

There is no mirrors in the truck, cameras replace them, screens are located within the cabin.

KAMAZ-54907 has a third degree of autonomy, that is, the vehicle can go straight by itself, independently adjusting from lane to lane, steering is not necessary.

The first test runs of the KAMAZ-4308 unmanned vehicle began at The KAMAZ factory. The truck will learn the logistics of supply of cabins from the frame and stamping plant to the automobile plant without the driver.

The transportation of components by the means of cars-robots project received the name of the “Odyssey”. So far, we are talking about logistics operations on the roads within the perimeters of the industrial site of KAMAZ. In general, such machines can be used in any industry, where shuttle transportation is required along specified routes.

“Unmanned technologies are the future that Rostec enterprises are actively approaching. In particular, “KAMAZ” creates several types of autonomous vehicles: transport, providing the movement of convoys without drivers, cab-free electric vehicles and urban shuttles with autonomous traffic systems. Unmanned truck, which began to work at the site of the enterprise, is highly accurate — navigation error does not exceed 3-5 cm. The launch of the project is a significant event not only for the Russian automotive industry, but also for the industry as a whole. This may be the first step towards the robotization of industrial equipment, including those operating in extreme conditions – for example, in mines, quarries and in the Far North,” said Sergey Chemezov, the CEO of Rosteh State Corporation, the Chairman of the Board of Directors of KAMAZ PTC.

The “Odyssey” assembled on the basis of KAMAZ-4308 diesel car. The machine is equipped with four types of sensors: video cameras, radars, lidars and sonars. The robot is equipped with several communication systems: industrial Wi-Fi, 4G and a special VHF band in case other communication channels are muted, that is, an emergency channel. All data from the sensors are fed into the brain of the machine-the computer, where the analysis of incoming information about the parameters of the movement will take place.

Today, on December 13, a solemn event will be held at the KAMAZ automobile plant on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the construction of the Kama auto giant.
Russian President Vladimir Putin will take part in the events to mark KAMAZ’s anniversary. The head of state will speak at a solemn meeting dedicated to the 50th anniversary of the famous automobile plant, get acquainted with new production lines and communicate with employees of the enterprise. On the same day, Putin will hold a working meeting with Tatarstan President Rustam Minnikhanov, who will also arrive in Naberezhnye Chelny for the anniversary of the auto giant.

Veterans and pioneers, builders of the Kama automobile plant, employees of the company, as well as representatives of Federal, Republican and city media were invited to the solemn event. In total, the event will be attended by more than four thousand people. The stage and stands are installed directly in the production hall, between the main assembly lines.

December 13 is considered the official date of the beginning of construction of the auto giant on Kama. In 1969, on this day, excavator operator Mikhail Noskov took out the first bucket of earth at the construction site of the future automobile plant. The years went by all-Union shock construction projects. In the mid-1970s, the legendary team under the leadership of Boris Kaminsky centrally carried out the installation of equipment at all commissioned facilities of KAMAZ. Everyone lived with one goal – and in February 1976 the first KAMAZ car came off the assembly line: test driver Valery Peretolchin brought a new class car to the country’s roads.

KAMAZ has provided comfortable housing, modern educational institutions, kindergartens, medical institutions, cultural, sports, recreation and leisure facilities to hundreds of thousands of people. From a small town with a population of 27 thousand people Naberezhnye Chelny grew into the second, after Kazan, city of the Republic. Now it is home to 534 thousand people.

Today KAMAZ is the leader of the Russian cargo engineering industry. For 50 years, the company has produced more than 2 million 311 thousand cars.
