RusAutoNews.Com – The serial production of a three-axle new KAMAZ model has started. The next model in the new vehicle family: the 65209 index truck has been assembled at plant in Nabarezhnye Chelny.
KAMAZ-65209 three-axle truck was presented for the first time at Comtrans-2017 exhibition in September. The new vehicle has 6×2 wheel formula and a rear axle, which saves fuel driving load-free or without the semi-trailer. There were no specific complications during the assembly of the model. Same design decisions have been applied on the vehicle as on the other automobiles in the new model range, which are being manufactured by the leading truck producer of Russia since 2013-14.
The cabin of the new vehicle is the same as the flagship model KAMAZ-5490: high double-sleeper and chassis is high-base as in KAMAZ-65206. The new KAMAZ model is also equipped with a lifting axle, needed for an evenly distribution of weight along the intermediate axle, which was used on 65208 model for the first time. The assembly scheme of the vehicle almost completely corresponds with its predecessor KAMAZ-65206, with only one difference: the lifting axle is installed on a separate platform.
