President of the Republic of Tatarstan Rustam Minnikhanov and the legendary KAMAZ–master team took part in the International Russian-Chinese Winter Sports Festival ZimFestAmur. High-tech KAMAZ vehicles of the latest K5 generation were also presented during the event.
The exhibition featured high-tech K5 generation KAMAZ-54901 tractor units powered by liquefied natural gas (LNG). In this modification, the truck is equipped with KAMAZ R6 (Euro-5) gas engine capacity of 460 HP, automatic gear box and two cryotanks holding 1,060 liters of liquefied natural gas. The use of LNG significantly reduces the owner's fuel costs with a range of up to 1,600 km with one refuel.
Special purpose vehicle models in demand in the region were also demonstrated at the site: all-wheel drive dropside KAMAZ-43118, utility vehicles on the KAMAZ chassis and KAMAZ vehicle equipped with a drilling rig.
