Today, road freight transportation is one of the most demanded services. Unlike rail, sea and air transportation, road transportation is distinguished by its mobility, economy and practicality. And the transportation of goods by heavy vehicles allows you to avoid intermediate overloads. This factor has a positive effect on the budget of the trucking company.

Freight transport does not depend on the location of railways or seaports. And the percentage of net profit from transportation directly depends on the correct choice of vehicle.

Companies that have a limited budget opt for domestic technology. KAMAZ trucks are the most common vehicles in Russia. They gained such popularity due to the cheapness of spare parts, as well as high cross-country ability on rough terrain. Potholes, ravines and fords are not a hindrance for Russian trucks. Onboard KAMAZ is an ideal option for interregional and internationalcargo transportation. Such cars are supplied with an awning, which can be opened from three sides.

When buying a new vehicle of domestic production, you should pay attention to KAMAZ. The side body is very versatile - it can move most types of cargo over distances. For carriers involved in the transportation of goods to interregional destinations, it is better to use a 10-ton vehicle. It is just the KAMAZ onboard series 5308. Due to the location of the wheels, it behaves perfectly on the road. Even at maximum load, the machine will be easy to operate.

This truck replaced the old models 55111 and 53215. The ten-ton KAMAZ onboard is equipped with a restyled cab, inside which there is a berth. The total weight of the novelty is 15 tons. And for the transportation of bulky goods, it can be operated with a trailer, the gross weight of which reaches 14 tons. At the same time, the maximum carrying capacity is increased to 20 tons. Thus, KAMAZ with a trailer completely replaces a heavy truck-tractor.

5308 Series Specifications

KAMAZ onboard differs from its counterparts in its low-frame chassis and low-profile 19-inch tires. These changes helped the engineers to significantly increase the useful volume of the cargo compartment. The new truck has an adjustable air suspension.

Under the hood (or rather, under the cab) is a Cummins turbodiesel engine with a capacity of 285 horses and a volume of6.7 liters. The novelty fully complies with the Euro 3 environmental standard. The gearbox is mechanical, nine-speed. The developers of the new truck paid attention to economical fuel consumption - now it is 25 liters per 100 kilometers.

It is worth noting that all vehicles of KAMAZ OJSC are adapted for operation at low temperatures - up to minus 40 degrees Celsius. Therefore, they are not at all afraid of both tropical and arctic climates. Choose an onboard KAMAZ: its price corresponds to the quality.
