KamAZ Will Challenge Chinese Tractor Units

As part of the development of the K5 lineup, chassis 65951, model 53251, and the three-axle 6565 series are being prepared for production

KamAZ continues to develop the K5 family and is preparing to launch several new products at once. In the near future, the special 65951 chassis with an extended rear overhang, a power take-off, and high-load-capacity tires will enter the assembly line. Concrete mixers are planned to be produced on its basis.

Another new product will be the medium-duty KamAZ-53251 with a gross vehicle weight of 18 tons, aimed at the retail sector. The vehicle is equipped with a diesel engine producing 310 hp and a 9-speed gearbox.

The closest relative of this model is the 63934 chassis, intended for special-purpose vehicles, including those for firefighting services. In the future, the new product may replace fire tankers based on the KamAZ-43253.

In addition, the plant is preparing the three-axle 6565 series. It will include the 65657 flatbed truck and the 65656 tractor unit. These models are expected to compete with Chinese 6×4-class vehicles.
