Leading transport company “Avtolider” conducted test trials of two newest generation K5 KAMAZ-54901 tractor trucks in real working conditions.
During the tests conducted throughout April, KAMAZ-54901 vehicles underwent intensive operational loading. The total mileage of the two trucks over the month was nearly 40 thousand kilometers.
