OREANDA-NEWS. July 18, 2012. According to KAMAZ market analyzers, more than 80% of KAMAZ-65115 dump trucks sold during the first half-year of 2012 are used on public roads (with a restriction on the axial load).

There are a number of standard acts ensuring safety of roads with a restriction on the axial load. Therefore, purchasers of trucks have started paying more attention to such characteristics as laden mass, payload, gross weight, and axial load. So, the KAMAZ-65115 dump truck is in high demand in regions imposing a restriction on the axial load, because with its size it has a low axial load and laden mass. Therefore it can carry the maximum amount of cargo without exceeding the maximum permissible axial load.

KAMAZ-65115 is the first vehicle equipped with a tipper body oval in cross-section which enables to reduce its weight by 220 kg, make it more rigid and stable, and ensures the full unloading without any residue in the body. In addition, the redesigned KAMAZ-65115 has got not only the new exterior, but also brand-new parts and systems, which significantly improves key consumer characteristics of the vehicle. Thus, the redesigned KAMAZ-65115 truck is equipped with the Cummins engine with the Common rail fuel injection system providing high tractive and dynamic characteristics of the dump truck. The use of such engines enables to increase the service interval to 30,000 km and reduce fuel consumption. The ZF gearbox installed on KAMAZ-65115 ensures exceptional road performance, the maximum service life, and convenient gear-shifting.

Not the least of the factors for its success on Russia’s market is its price. New KAMAZ-65115 dump trucks are almost 500,000 rubles cheaper and much more economical to maintain than their foreign analogs. The truck has got the same service interval kilometrage as its analogs feature, but low prices for one standard hour of maintenance and spare parts enable to greatly reduce operating costs.
