Medium-tonnage trucks of the KAMAZ-43253 family are high-quality trucks for transporting all kinds of goods within the city and manufacturing various special-purpose vehicles.

Production of Russian trucks

The domestic enterprise KamAZ for the production of heavy-duty vehicles was founded in 1969, and in the same year the construction of the company's production facilities began. At the same time, the city of Naberezhnye Chelny was being built.

The first KamAZ truck was made in early 1976. It was an on-board model under the factory index 5320 (currently located in the museum of the enterprise). By 1980, the company produced more than 150 thousand heavy vehicles and continued to grow production. In the mid-eighties, almost a quarter of the fleet of automobile cargo enterprises consisted of KamAZ trucks. Therefore, the creation of a branded service center in 1983 made it possible to increase the efficiency of car operation.

A feature of the first KamAZ models produced was the presence of three axles. With a decrease in the production of cars at the enterpriseZIL increased the need for trucks with two axles. In 2003, the company began production of a new range of trucks, which includes KamAZ-43253 with technical characteristics typical of a two-axle vehicle.

Production of trucks with two axles

The production of medium-duty trucks of the 4325 series at the plant began in 2006. Modification KamAZ-43253 according to technical characteristics is most suitable for operation in the city. This advantage of the truck is provided by the presence of two bridges and, as a result, improved maneuverability and controllability in heavy traffic and dense urban infrastructure.

The car has several modifications, the most common among them are tractors and onboard options. In addition, the technical characteristics of the KamAZ-43253 chassis make it possible to create a large number of special vehicles on its basis, which include:

• garbage trucks;
• various tanks;
• fire versions;
• autotowers;
• manipulators;
• road and utility options;
• cranes;
• vans for various purposes;
• refrigerators.

Most often, for the manufacture of special vehicles, a chassis with a Cummins diesel engine under the KAMAZ-43253-3010-28 index is used, the technical characteristics of which provide better efficiency when operating in the city.
