KamAZ introduced BelAZ rival

9

Kama Automobile Plant introduced the giant KAMAZ-65805 mining dump truck. The car, named "Samson", in terms of load capacity is able to compete with models of the BelAZ-7555 family.

Like the Belarusian “colleague”, KAMAZ-65805 is capable of transporting up to 60 tons of cargo. The mass of the truck itself is 27 tons.



It is assumed that the giant truck will be equipped with a new in-line six-cylinder 550-horsepower turbodiesel. Despite the fact that the car initially received "traditional" controls, in the future it can be equipped with an autonomous driving system for working in unmanned mode.

To provide the truck with greater maneuverability, the first, second and fifth axles (five in total) were equipped with a rotary mechanism. The truck body volume of 26 cubic meters is heated by exhaust gases to prevent freezing of the soil in the cold season. The maximum elevation angle of the loading platform is 50 degrees.

Despite the fact that our 11-meter truck is 2 meters longer than the Belarusian one, it is 2 times narrower than the BelAZ-7555, which allows the use of Samson, including on public roads.

KamAZ positions the new model as a special vehicle, which will be produced on special order. In the near future, the plant promised to publish additional information about the "Russian giant."

    I would use Platform-O with a hybrid drive and crazy maneuverability.

    Here. There is already a truck here.
    And then there are some articles where there are "initiatives", but no truck (airplane, supercomputer, etc.).

    The most - the car for the New Russians. To ride.

    It is high time to develop domestic production !!! This is the independence of the Russian Federation from the vagaries of foreigners and significant cost savings, because domestic enterprises pay taxes to the budget of the Russian Federation, create jobs in the Russian Federation, and this is very important.

      Kamaz Belaz is not a competitor in terms of career equipment. Completely different cars for carrying capacity. Competition in a positive sense is also good and good. But we do not want Belarusians, they, like, are no match for us anymore. Cooperation needs to be developed, not proprietary fences to build.

    It is necessary to carry out import substitution of Belarusian products in advance, according to Lukashenko’s behavior, it’s clear that not today, so tomorrow Belarus will become the second Ukraine. Well, the fact that the citizens of Belarus will be left without work should not worry us much, they are not Russian citizens, they are foreigners with all the consequences.

    There will be no loss from a gradual abandonment of BELAZ. Either the chairman will roll away from Russia to the Maidan, or, having joined more tightly, will fall under sanctions in the same way as Russia, which will deprive him of the opportunity to copy Japanese and American superheavy equipment.

    Only an empty head could come up with such an empty message.

    This fucking collective farmer needs to be torn off and forced to gobble up for the fact that for the sake of his personal power he ruins the flagships of the Soviet automobile industry - MAZ, BELAZ, MZKT. And then there will be, as always, a star on the whole world about the mythical eastern neighbors who made him.
