The KAMAZ-5490 truck tractor is a true flagship of the domestic freight transportation market. Such beliefs did not appear out of thin air - this tractor won the domestic competition "Best Commercial Vehicle of the Year" and was awarded the title "Perspective of the Year".
Besides, as the head of the Republic of Tatarstan stated, model 5490 is the future of Russia. Of course, the novelty has a lot of prospects in the cargo transportation market, but we will find out whether this will be true only in a month, when the new KAMAZ tractors of the 5490 model roll off the Kama conveyor. In the meantime, let's look at the features of the new truck tractor.
Appearance and characteristics of the cabin
The main feature of the new KAMAZ is a modern design, which was borrowed from a German truckMercedes AXOR. The attractive appearance and streamlined shape of the cab not only improved the aerodynamic properties of the machine, but also significantly increased the comfort of the driver inside the tractor, because now the height of the cab is almost as much as two meters (192 centimeters). In addition, all 5490 model tractors manufactured under the KAMAZ brand will initially be equipped with two berths, which will allow both drivers to rest in the parking lot at the same time. At the same time, it is worth noting the comfort of moving around the cab, which could not be imagined in other Kama-made tractors, often equipped with an excessively low cab.
KAMAZ: trucks with a new level of comfort
As you know, KAMAZ trucks were often scolded by many drivers due to the lack of comfortable seats in the cab. Now, in the 5490 model, the developers have embodied all the wishes of the owners, mainly related to comfort. For the first time, this truck tractor has pneumatic seats with adjustable height and back position, cruise control system and even built-in air conditioning, which was an unattainable dream for KAMAZ truck drivers. Model 5490 tractors are a real benchmark for the comfort of domestic heavy-duty vehicles.

Separately, it is worth noting the new technical indicators of the truck. The novelty will be equipped with a modern engine manufactured by Mercedes-Benz, with a capacity of 428 horsepower. will alsoa complete set with a native engine of the brand "KAMAZ" - 740.75 is available. According to the developers, both motors will have an increased service life, which is about 1 million kilometers (this is about 10 years of saturated use). For comparison: the older KAMAZ tractors had an engine with an operating period of no more than 300 thousand kilometers, after which the engine required a major overhaul. Thanks to these technical characteristics, a car with a curb weight of 8 tons can pull a trailer with a maximum load of up to 44 tons.
About cost
According to the manufacturer, the cost of a new model 5490 truck tractor will be about 2 million 500 thousand rubles. This is about 15-20 percent lower than the cost of foreign mainline tractors of the brands DAF, VOLVO, SCANIA, RENAULT and so on.
