For many years, the KamAZ car has served faithfully not only in the civilian sector of the economy, but also works for the military sphere. In civil terms, KamAZ is a real workhorse of trade transportation. Of the North Caucasian republics of Russia, the transportation of goods by KamAZ makes about 68%. KamAZ can be used as a concrete mixer truck, refrigerator, car carrier, cargo tow truck, cargo-passenger transport for employees of mines and hydrocarbon production companies.
KamAZ has its own niche in the military sphere. One of the new developments of such a vehicle for the military industry is a tractor version based on KamAZ. This is KamAZ-6350, which is provided with an armored cabin and a special compartment for transporting personnel. In addition, the car has a body that is specially equipped for the transport of ammunition. The main purpose of the 6350 is to tow certain artillery pieces. The advantages of such a tractor can be attributed to the fact that it can easily overcome sea obstacles, the depth of which does not exceed one and a half meters. In addition, KamAZ 6350 is a tractor capable of moving over rough terrain with hills, the slope of which is up to 31 degrees. The car has a design feature in the form of a loader crane. With its help, the operator can load cargo weighing up to 2 tons into the body, which is ideal for unloading and loading massive boxes with parts for artillery pieces or ammunition for these guns.
One of the most powerful KamAZ trucks produced in the entire history of the plant is KamAZ 6560. This is a typical army vehicle that belongs to the class of flatbed tractors. Its engine power is 400 horsepower, which provides it with increased cross-country ability even under increased load. The wheel formula of this car is 8 by 8. The tractor can cope with the transportation of cargo weighing up to 35 tons, lifting at an angle of up to 60 degrees. Neither a 180-centimeter (in depth) reservoir, nor even a 60-centimeter-high wall will become obstacles for such a military vehicle. The total capacity of the fuel tanks of this model is up to 700 liters. The KamAZ-6560 cab has, among other things, a sleeping place.
