The flagship K5 generation KAMAZ-54901 Hi-Tech tractor unit has been shipped to a transport company located in Sochi.

The vehicle was supplied by the authorized dealer of the company – Krasnodar automobile center KAMAZ. The vehicle transferred will be involved in transportation of goods across the Krasnodar region, mainly in the Sochi district. The vehicle adopts global trends in the automotive industry, but at the same time adapted to Russian operating conditions.
