Yerevan. 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
Armenias 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 (6×4) 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, 6×4) presented in
Armenia in a restyled version has got a mechanical-hydraulic drive
and is completed with HATZ 441 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.
