OREANDA-NEWS. May 11, 2010. OJSC KAMAZ, the largest Russian truck producer, participates in the 3rd Specialized International Exhibition “Construction and Interior 2010” which is being held in the capital of Armenia, Yerevan.

The “Construction and Interior” Exhibition is the largest event in Armenia’s business life and a golden opportunity for companies and businessmen to establish new commercial relationships and to study the construction market, and for customers – to make the right choice.

KAMAZ vehicles occupy more than 50% of the truck fleet of their class: special equipment makes 40%, dump trucks ¬– about 30%, side vehicles – 15%, bolster-type tractors – 10%. On the whole, KAMAZ trucks are used by companies of the mineral resource industry, private building companies (construction equipment, including road-building equipment, dumpers), in the private sector, for cargo transportation (vehicles with high sides, prime movers), by municipalities of big cities (municipal special equipment), by security, defence and law enforcement agencies. The mean age of almost 5 thousand KAMAZ vehicles used in the republic is 12-20 years. Naturally, it is really necessary to replace the vehicle fleet, and KAMAZ is ready to offer the Armenian customers its best products.

The Russian auto producer presented the following models at the Yerevan exhibition: KAMAZ-6520 Dumper, the basic model of the KAMAZ line of vehicles with higher carrying capacity, KAMAZ-65117 Side Vehicle and Inclined-Axis Mixer 581453 on KAMAZ-6520 chassis.

KAMAZ-6520 Dumper, the basic model of the KAMAZ line of vehicles with higher carrying capacity, is presented in the renewed version, with a restyled cab. It satisfies all demands of the sales market. The vehicle is intended for transportation of diverse construction and industrial goods, and with GVW of 32.5 tonnes it can transport up to 20 tonnes of freight both on roads meant for vehicles with axial load of 10-13 tonnes, and under cross-country conditions. This dumper is economy, like all KAMAZ vehicles. The payback period of KAMAZ-6520 vehicles is twice as less than that of their analogues.

KAMAZ-65117 (6x4) Side Vehicle (carrying capacity – 14 tonnes, GVW – 24 tonnes) can tow a trailer with GVW of 14 tonnes. All advantages and potential of well-known previous models are embodied in this vehicle. Technical innovations used in the construction of KAMAZ-65117 Side Prime Mover secure improved consumer properties confirmed by certification and driving tests.

Inclined-Axis Mixer 581453 (KAMAZ-6520 chassis, 6x4) presented in Armenia in a restyled version has got a mechanical-hydraulic drive and is completed with HATZ 4М41 Engine (Germany). Robust performance of a mixing drum drive is secured at the expense of an Italian epicyclic gear. The model is also equipped with an imported oil cooler increasing an operation life of the vehicle by means of a higher heat emission. Rapidly wearing parts of the vehicle are made of wear-resistant and strong steel. Inclined-Axis Mixer 581453 operates without troubles in winter time too: a water-distributing system of this model functions in such a way that an engine of chassis heats water in the water reservoir with exhaust gases.
