Kamaz 6350 Fuel consumption per 100 km • Truck modification

How much money and fuel does KAMAZ consume?

There is a need to transport approximately 25-30 cubic meters of timber, round timber, (20-25 tons) weekly, over a distance of an average of 800 km (400 there empty and 400 back with a load), plus transport lumber around the city. Nowadays, for these purposes, one usually hires a Kamaz (a dump truck with a trailer, carrying 25-28 cubic meters of round timber) or a French truck (carrying 30-35 cubic meters), the money paid for this, to put it mildly, is more than one would like. We are thinking whether it would be worth acquiring our own transport for these purposes, while a used Kamaz looks very attractive for the money. The question is how much money it will cost to operate it - fuel, spare parts/repairs, maintenance, etc. and so on. In addition to transportation, the vehicle is planned to be used for loading/unloading, for which we are planning to install a three-ton crane installation on it.

Approximate monthly mileage (50% empty, 50% loaded): highway (roundwood 20 tons) -3500 km city (timber 7-10 tons) -500 km I’m interested in what fuel consumption the car will have during such work and how much maintenance will cost approximately . I can immediately say that now at least 80 thousand rubles a month are spent on all this (including the earnings of car drivers, of course). If anyone has experience, please share.

In Vladik and Kamazda? Do you have a crisis there with reliable Japanese cars? You will only work for spare parts. It’s better to dig up and take Yapa. And the Kamaz with dump axles my drivers (with their own KamAZs) eats 50-55 liters in the city + they constantly break down. And the quality of the parts sucks

KamAZ-63501 as a base for special equipment

Universal KamAZ-6350 for off-road use
There is a firefighter KamAZ 63501, the technical characteristics of which satisfy the requirements for eliminating hazardous factors. This is an armored vehicle adapted to work in particularly difficult conditions. Firefighting, rescue operations and restoration work - the vehicle allows you to solve multiple tasks.

The model is taken as a basis when creating a truck crane. 63501 has proven itself as a reliable chassis for mounting a truck crane. The KamAZ base successfully houses crane units with various lifting capacities - from 30 to 50 tons.

The telescopic boom has four sections, making it possible to move various loads during high-rise construction. The vehicle has found wide application in the military industry, where it is used as a base for transporting artillery systems and a set for the rapid deployment of temporary roads.

Historical reference

Fulfilling dual-use orders (military and national economic) was a common practice for most large factories. For automobiles - even more so.

This especially applies to KamAZ. And that's why:

• All the country's leading automobile factories did not appear out of nowhere. ZIL, as the first manufacturer of domestic trucks, began working on the basis of the pre-revolutionary automobile repair plant AMO - Automobile Moscow Society. The manufacturer of the Ural-375, an automobile plant in Miass, owes its birth to the Great Patriotic War and the production facilities of the ZIS (ZIL) plant that were partially evacuated from Moscow. And the Gorky Automobile Plant began production of buses, cars and trucks under the auspices. KamAZ, from the moment the Central Committee of the CPSU adopted the decision on its construction in August 1969, was defined as a plant for the production of trucks and engines. A place was specially selected for it, huge funds were allocated, and infrastructure was created. The entire complex of work was declared the construction of the century.
• Drawing a parallel further, it is worth remembering that if ZIL workers assembled their first trucks from Fiat spare parts literally, as they say, “on the knee,” then when creating the Kama plant, the latest achievements of 700 companies from 19 countries were used. Hundreds of domestic factories provided its construction.
• Such well-deserved and popular cars in all areas of application as ZIL-131, Ural-375, GAZ-66 owe their appearance to a large extent to military orders. But they were created individually. As for KamAZ, it took a different path here too. In accordance with the decision of the USSR Government of June 24, 1987, the plant began to develop unified all-wheel drive multi-purpose vehicles. The army order provided for the creation of a whole model range under the general name “Mustang”.

Initially, the plant designers were tasked with developing three models KamAZ-4350 (4x4), KamAZ-5350 (6x6) and KamAZ-6350 (8x8), which differed in the number of axles.

Some models provided a platform for installing weapons and special equipment.

The general requirements for them included:

• vehicles are designed for transporting military cargo or transporting personnel and towing trailers weighing 6-12 tons on any roads and rough terrain;
• possibility of operation at temperatures of -45...+40 degrees, as well as in areas located at an altitude of up to 4000 meters above sea level, with the ability to cross passes up to 4600 meters high.

An indispensable condition for the creation of cars of a new family was the requirement for a high degree of unification (up to 85%).

In other words, the new models should have used uniform components and assemblies to the maximum extent possible.

Modifications of the KamAZ-6350 truck

KamAZ-6350 is not just an army truck, but also an excellent platform for combat systems

In many documents and descriptions, this vehicle is referred to as a “chassis vehicle.” This emphasizes its versatility and the ability to be used to create a wide range of special-purpose vehicles. A variety of modules and add-ons can be installed on the KamAZ-6350 chassis, which allows it to be used both for military tasks and for absolutely “civilian” work. Here are some types of special equipment built on the basis of KamAZ-6350:

• Truck tractor. This modification was first demonstrated in 2003 at an exhibition in Bronnitsy near Moscow. A tractor based on KamAZ-6350 can tow semi-trailers weighing up to 32 tons. When installing additional tanks, its range is 1,400 km;
• Artillery tractor. In 2006, an artillery tractor based on the KamAZ-6350 vehicle was presented at an arms exhibition. It received the designation KamAZ-63501. The tractor is capable of towing guns or other trailers weighing up to 12 tons, additionally “taking on board” eight more people (two in the cabin, and six more in the habitable compartment). The vehicle's cargo platform can transport up to 5 tons. The tractor is equipped with a crane, and the cabin and habitable compartment have hidden armor of the 5th protection class;
• Fire trucks. Based on the KamAZ-6350 chassis, a whole series of fire engines was created, including airfield versions, as well as a special armored fire and rescue vehicle APSB-6.0-40-10;
• Cranes. Specialists of OJSC Galich Truck Crane Plant created a 32-ton truck crane based on the KamAZ-6350.

Also, on the basis of the KamAZ-6350, military and civilian fuel tankers, vehicles with the Multilift ML-10 self-loading system were developed; the KamAZ-6350 chassis is equipped with the latest Russian electronic warfare complex "Krasukha", as well as the Avtobaza electronic reconnaissance system. The Azerbaijani Armed Forces installed the latest Turkish MLRS T-122 Sakarya and T-300 Kasirga on the KamAZ-6350, and the Serbs use this chassis for the 155-mm self-propelled gun Nora B-52.

Transmission. Weight characteristics

This is monitoring the technical condition of the car and internal combustion engine, proper operation and driving technique, plus the absence of constant overload of the vehicle. KamAZ-5320 is an onboard cargo tractor, which is often used as a road train for transporting various cargoes.

Vehicle specifications

Four-axle 6350 models have increased cross-country ability, and the engine develops power up to 360 hp. With. Due to the powerful generator, it is possible to start the engine in a temperature range of -50 - +50°C. The KamAZ 6350 Mustang is equipped with a 740.50-360 V-8 turbocharged diesel engine that can run on any liquid fuel with an engine displacement of 11.76 l3.

However, according to some military experts, the transmission of SUVs of this family sometimes fails. In addition, Mustangs equipped with a 161 series gearbox are often unable to tow over a distance of more than 50 km because the gears do not work smoothly, and often instead of 8 only 4 work. The steering knuckles on the front axles cannot withstand the load and tear, and cross-country ability is quite low. In addition, the modern design of an SUV is so technically complex that it cannot be repaired by military repair brigades.

The advantages of a car of this model are that any water obstacles with a depth of no more than 1.75 m, hills with a slope of up to 31 degrees and wall heights of up to 60 cm can be overcome. At the same time, loading and unloading does not require additional special equipment. The manipulator is installed on the SUV itself, which lifts up to 2 tons.

Vehicle history • KAMAZ tractors

• working - a classic version of the braking system, which serves to reduce the speed and stop the car;
• parking, familiar to any motorist, like a handbrake or handbrake;
• a spare one, which must be used to slow down and stop in case of failure of the working system;
• auxiliary, the main element of which is the gas-dynamic braking mechanism. When the gas turbine engine is turned on, it cuts off the fuel supply and the engine stalls.

Device

KamAZ 5350 was an improved continuation of the KamAZ 4310 model with some changes. Differences were manifested in the appearance, shape of the cabin and body. Also, the more modern model received a different metal profile pattern on the body. The truck got new tires that differ in size.

The KamAZ 5350 model has retained the traditional outlines characteristic of all products of the Kama Automobile Plant. The manufacturer offered the truck in several color options: from khaki to bright orange.

The first was used primarily for military purposes and was part of camouflage. The KamAZ 5350 chassis was used in various directions, therefore the type of platform and body varied.

KamAZ 5350 is equipped with a manual 10-speed KamAZ-154 gearbox with a front divider. Transfer case 2-speed with lockable center differential. The front axle drive is permanent and cannot be switched off. The car received a differential lock on the rear axles.

The equipment cabin is designed for three people including the driver. It is quite comfortable and is additionally equipped with a special sleeping shelf. There are places intended for the installation of military equipment and special equipment. With folding benches, KamAZ 5350 can accommodate up to 39 people.

At the same time, the main direction of use of the model is military. It is no coincidence that the KamAZ 5350 is still in service in the army. Optionally, the truck cabin is equipped with class 5A armor, which allows you to protect the inside of the cabin and the crew from shots from an AKM assault rifle with 7.62 mm caliber cartridges. The equipment feels great on rough terrain.

Dimensions and load capacity

The length of KamAZ-5350 is 7960 mm, and the width and height reach 2550 and 3290 mm, respectively. Already in the standard version, the car has a ground clearance of 390 mm, and the outer turning radius is 11,300 mm.

The curb weight of the truck reaches 9800 kg, and the total weight is 15850 kg. The permissible weight of a trailer that can tow a KamAZ-5350 is 12 tons.

At the same time, the car can be praised for its carrying capacity, which reaches an impressive 6 tons. However, if the vehicle is used as part of a road train, in this case the total weight of the truck including cargo can reach 27,850 kg.

The dimensions of the cargo platform are also quite impressive. So, its length is 7960 mm, and its width and height are 2470 and 730 mm, respectively.

It is noteworthy that the KamAZ-5350 has truly universal off-road capabilities. This machine is capable of climbs at angles of up to 30 degrees, and the maximum ford depth can reach 1750 mm. Moreover, the equipment is not afraid of muddy mud and deep ruts, and is capable of crossing a ditch up to 600 mm deep.

Cabin

The SUV cabin is available in several versions. The determining factor here is the purpose and requirements of the customer (for civilian customers the cabin color is usually orange, for military customers it is protective).

There are cabins with and without a berth, with a high and low roof, with two or three seats.

It can also be used for additional ventilation. Some army vehicles have armored cabs. Since 2010, a modernized cabin has been used, which is slightly different in appearance from the earlier version.

KAMAZ FUEL CONSUMPTION PER 100 KM DEPENDING ON THE ENGINE INSTALLED

March 26, 2022 Knowing how much fuel a car “eats” will allow you to calculate the required amount of fuel for a certain distance. Thanks to this, you can calculate the financial costs of the trip. Cars with lower fuel consumption will allow you to save a lot if you travel on it regularly. In this article we will consider the fuel consumption of KAMAZ per 100 km of track. To this end, it is worth noting that the truck was produced with various bodies and power units. This means that for each individual model this indicator will be different.

Models with KAMAZ-740 power unit

Trucks in this category were equipped with diesel engines with power from 178 to 260 horsepower. Their working volume ranged from 5900 to 10850 cubic centimeters. Fuel consumption (KAMAZ) per 100 km in this case ranges from 19 to 36.3 liters.

It is worth noting that the trucks of this group were equipped with engines that met different emission standards. The minimum consumption of a car belonging to the first group is 19 liters. to a standard distance (KAMAZ-4308). The maximum value in this group is typical for the model with index 43118 - 33 liters for a given distance.

Among truck models belonging to the Euro-3 class, the lowest consumption of 20.9 liters per hundred is typical for the KAMAZ-4308 modification. The highest value (36.3 l) belongs to the KAMAZ-43118 model.

Dump trucks typically consume fuel in the range of 22-40.8 liters. The minimum value belongs to the model with the index 43255, the maximum - 65201. The popular model KAMAZ-6520 belongs to this category of trucks. Fuel consumption per 100 km is typical from 29.2 to 21.1 liters.

A group of truck tractors from this manufacturer consumes from 22.6 to 33.5 liters. The truck with index 5460 eats the least - less than 25 liters. The most “gluttonous” was the tractor with index 44108. Its figure is less than 34 liters per hundred.

Another group of vehicles that are produced with engines of this type is the chassis. Their fuel consumption values ​​range from 17 to 39.3 liters per hundred kilometers. Among the models in this category, KAMAZ-65115 can be distinguished. Fuel consumption per 100 km for it is 25.8-28.4 liters.

Cars with Cummins engines (Euro-3)

Among the flatbed trucks, only one model was equipped with this power unit - KAMAZ-65117. Its fuel consumption rate is 38 liters.

Also one model represents the category of chassis vehicles. It received the index 43118. KAMAZ fuel consumption per 100 km in this case is 41.5 liters.

Dump trucks with Cummins engines consume 40.5-53.0 liters of fuel per hundred kilometers. Truck tractors for a road of such a distance will require from 51.8 to 80 liters, depending on the model of the vehicle itself.

Cummins engines related to Euro-4

About ten vehicle models were equipped with power units of this class. KAMAZ fuel consumption per 100 km for them can be equal to 21-24 liters. And it can reach 37-43 liters. It depends on the specific category.

As you can see, the manufacturer offers a wide list of models with different fuel consumption indicators. They may be low or they may be too high. Therefore, when choosing a suitable truck option for yourself, it is worth taking these values ​​into account. After all, the larger it is, the more financial resources will have to be spent during operation.

KamAZ-6350: reviews from owners and drivers

Fedor Ryazansky, 43 years old, Altai Territory:

I have been using the KamAZ-6350 flatbed truck for three years. The main advantage of this car is its cross-country ability: it can go through any mud, go up a slope, overcome a ditch, and ford a small river. This is understandable - the car was developed for the military, so in civilian life its capabilities are more than enough. Of course, the cabin cannot boast of comfort, there are no electronics, there is nothing even to break. The engine is high-torque, the speed is 90 km/h, and it handles confidently on the highway.
