The latest mining “drone” is equipped with special video cameras, lidars, ultrasonic sensors and radars that are protected against dust, dirt, moisture and vibration. There are also GSM antennas and GPS/GLONASS navigation.
The four-wheel drive truck has a shuttle motion mode. After loading, the car goes to the unloading point and is placed under a new load again. And all this – without a single turn!
The car is equipped with a 12-liter KAMAZ “six” of the new generation. It runs a generator that drives the traction motor and charges the battery. Four-wheel drive is performed without a transfer case, as there is one electric motor on each axle.
The length of the dump truck is only 8.8 meters. With an empty weight of 23 tons, such a KamAZ can transport up to 30 tons of rock with a volume of up to 22 cubic meters. The speed of the unmanned “quarry” is limited to 56 km/h.

And another piece of news from Naberezhnye Chelny. In 2006, the Russian KamAZ and the American Cummins opened a joint venture for the production of diesel engines. But now American engines urgently need to look for a replacement.
