KAMAZ plans to double the production of K5 generation trucks

KAMAZ, according to the business plan for this year, intends to produce 2.4 thousand new generation K5 vehicles. According to Sergey Kogogin, General Director of KAMAZ, it is planned to produce 6.7 thousand K5 trucks in 2022 and over 11 thousand - in 2023. In this regard, the readiness of suppliers is important, the press service of KAMAZ reports.

The first stage of their preparation is completed in June, after which, from July, KAMAZ is going to double the production volume of trucks of the K5 generation from 10 to 20 units per day. As the head of KAMAZ noted, the current business plan can also be revised upwards, although further increase in the production of K5 models is impossible - Europe and China will not be able to increase their supplies. “In general, the company will rethink the state of the market, because our technical policy regarding the model range has justified the forecasts,” stressed Sergey Kogogin.

Now KAMAZ's efforts are aimed at entering the premium segment - the active sales of the KAMAZ-54901 mainline tractors - new items in the company's model range of the K5 generation, which was introduced to the market in 2020, and the expansion of this product line with new models. So, in 2021, it is planned to launch new models of the K5 generation on the market: a 6x2 truck tractor, 6x4, 6x6 and 8x4 dump trucks.
