Traditionally, the truck giant made the frame beams by stamping. However, for each new model (and sometimes even modifications), it was necessary to manufacture a new stamp, and these are quite expensive elements. And in Naberezhnye Chelny they decided to use a different technology.
Channel spars were developed for trucks of the K4 and K5 series. They are formed from one long roll of sheet steel, which can be cut to the desired length. True, this required a complete overhaul of the front of the frame, where large brackets made of ductile iron had to be introduced. Cab, suspension and so on are attached to these brackets.
With the use of constant cross-section spars, a grid of holes on the side surface was also introduced – the so-called perforated spars. This made it possible to move hinged units, according to the factory edition of Vesti KamAZ.
We add that the K4 generation will no longer be produced and the K5 series, in order to return to the conveyor, will have to go through the procedure of total import substitution. However, the factory workers plan to tackle this task in just six months.
Meanwhile, Chinese brands have endangered the well-being of the KamAZ brand: truck manufacturers from the Middle Kingdom have confidently “chopped off” almost 40 percent of the market share. And don’t think to stop there! With details – the portal “AvtoVzglyad”.
