Today, on August 21, KAMAZ is presenting a large-scale truck exhibition in Naberezhnye Chelny, organized as part of the City Day celebrations. This year, the ceremonial event is dedicated to the 400th anniversary of the Motor City and the 50th anniversary of the release of the first KAMAZ truck.
The exhibition, set up on the square of the “Pribrezhnoy” park, features over 30 units of KAMAZ automotive equipment. Residents and guests of the city can see the evolution of generations of KAMAZ trucks — from K1 to the high-tech K5. One of the main exhibits in the historical zone is the millionth unit of the legendary KAMAZ-5320 (K1), assembled in 1988 — a symbol of the labor feat of the Chelny automobile builders. Nearby are the time-tested “classics” of generation K3 — the KAMAZ-6460 tractor unit, KAMAZ-6520 dump truck, and KAMAZ-65117 flatbed truck. Also presented here is the generation K4 tractor KAMAZ-5490 — a recognized bestseller of its time. These models have been succeeded by the high-tech vehicles of generation K5, which have become the basis of the company’s modern product portfolio. In this segment, the auto giant presents KAMAZ-54901 tractor units, including the High Tech fully equipped version, as well as the KAMAZ-54902, KAMAZ-65659, and KAMAZ-65954. Additionally, exhibition visitors can familiarize themselves with dump trucks, flatbed trucks, and vehicles from the KAMAZ Compass family.
A separate section is dedicated to the company’s passenger and innovative transport: the fifth-generation electric bus KAMAZ-52222, the mid-class city bus KAMAZ-4280-F5 Vega, and the electric vehicle KAMAZ-53199 “Chistogor.” A real treat for motorsport fans was the participation of the famous team “KAMAZ-master” in the exhibition. On the site, you can see the rally raid legend – the first racing truck KAMAZ-4310S, as well as the latest sports vehicle of the K5 generation. At the same time, the company will demonstrate some of the vehicles presented at the event in motion.
At 16:00 on the square of the “Pribrezhnoy” park, the theatrical performance “The power of the river, the power of the earth, the power of the people” will begin. Top managers of “KAMAZ” will also participate in the solemn event and congratulate the residents of Chelny on the holiday. The program will continue with performances by the best creative groups of Naberezhnye Chelny. Also, People’s Artist of Tatarstan Salavat Fathutdinov will perform in front of the audience, followed by Russian pop star Sergey Lazarev taking the stage. The culmination of the anniversary celebration will be a festive fireworks display.
