KAMAZ continues the production of K5 generation trucks

KAMAZ plans to produce about 40 KAMAZ-54901 mainline tractors in August, and by the end of the year at least 100 K5 generation trucks should leave the assembly line of the enterprise every month. This is stated in the message of KAMAZ in social networks. Recall that due to the suspension of supplies of imported components under the conditions of external sanctions, the bulk of KAMAZ production is currently made up of Euro-5 class K3 generation trucks. Nevertheless, the production of cars of the K4 and K5 generations also continues, however, the stock of components is the limiting factor in the production.

Therefore, today the main efforts of the company are aimed at localizing imported components and working with alternative Russian suppliers. As Sergey Kogogin, General Director of KAMAZ, stated earlier, the task of the enterprise is to start the assembly of K5 vehicles from January 2023 without the participation of foreign partners. The initial volume of produced trucks will be small, but the company does not plan to abandon the promising line of vehicles, in the development of which a lot of money and time have been invested.

In addition, today the top management of the company is taking a number of measures to organize the supply of components for the K4 line so that the assembly of these vehicles in demand on the market on the KAMAZ conveyor continues at least until the end of this year.
