The production of tractors and trucks of a well-known European brand in the Chelyabinsk region, which was closed some time ago, began to work again without unnecessary noise and dust. Portal “AvtoVzglyad” found signs of life in the plant “dead” in the spring of last year.

The Miass company AMT NV, which until the events of last spring was engaged in the assembly of Iveco trucks, it turns out, did not die after the departure of a foreign partner from Russia. JV “Iveco-AMT”, ordered to live long after the Italians transferred their share to the Russians and fully completed their activities in our country. Accordingly, truck production was curtailed.

However, now the Miass car manufacturer has started selling three-axle chassis – with a cab from Iveco EuroTrakker, but without nameplates, emblems or other identifying marks. It is curious that this model has already received a “Vehicle Type Approval” (OTTS). There the brand AMT NV is registered as a car brand. The car is produced with wheel arrangements 6×6 and 6×4. The engine is a 12.8 liter in-line diesel with 480 hp. Of.

Judging by the OTTS, the engine clearly has “Ivek” roots. Most likely, it will be supplied by the Chinese joint venture Saic-Iveco Hongyan. The engine management system, injection pump, injectors are from Bosch, the blower is from Wuxi (Chinese Cummins). 12-speed manual gearbox – from Shaanxi Fast Gear Company. Overall, AMT turned out to be a “heavenly Iveco”. That explains the shy lack of advertising and PR actions regarding the entry of a foreign competitor to the Russian market for “KAMAZ” analogues.

Only all-wheel drive chassis and tractors of the AMT NV brand have recently appeared on marketplaces and dealer price lists at a price of about 11 million rubles. Recall that their direct competitor from KamAZ – the model KAMAZ 65225-7015-53 – now costs about 8 million rubles.
