In July, employees of KAMAZ Trade and Finance Company JSC, together with the Rustruck special purpose vehicle manufacturing plant, launched a 6x2/2 curtain-sided vehicle on the KAMAZ-65658-V5 chassis.

The new version of the K5 generation vehicle is designed to transport various goods that do not require compliance with a certain temperature mode. The sliding roof, sliding sidewalls of the curtain structure and rear swing doors ensure convenient loading of products. The capacity is 20 Euro pallets (carrying capacity is 15.2 tons).

The vehicle is equipped with a fuel efficient six-cylinder in-line engine with a maximum capacity of 390 HP and 12-speed robotized gear box. Another feature of the vehicle is the automatic lifting rear axle, which increases the load capacity and reduces the load on the driving axle when fully loaded. At the moment when the truck is not loaded or partially loaded, the rear axle lifts, reducing the overall rolling resistance of the vehicle. This reduces the average fuel consumption (to 3%), improves handling and reduces the turning radius.
