Now KamAZ is forced to equip its trucks with the classic V-shaped “eight”, which is heavier and more voracious than the in-line Cummins. Therefore, the truck giant decided to choose an alternative option – it turned out to be the Chinese Weichai turbo diesel.
For reference, Belarusian MAZs have been equipped with Weichai units for a long time. In addition, there is a factory near Minsk that assembles such engines! Carriers praise the “heavenly” combustion engine for high reliability and power-to-weight ratio at low operating costs.
As for Kamaz, the first truck equipped with Veichai was commissioned by the automobile factory, the special equipment manufacturer RIAT from Naberezhnye Chelny. The car was sampled as one of the most popular – all-terrain vehicle KamAZ-43118.
Now the prototype is undergoing factory testing and will be sent for state certification testing in July. Hidden under the cabin is the WP10 engine, which in power is suitable for most KamAZ modifications.
And continue the theme of komtrans. Japan’s Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry has banned the export of trucks, dump trucks and bulldozers from the land of the Rising Sun to Russia. The AvtoVzglyad portal decided to find out what this threatens our country.
