KAMAZ will supply NATCAR with 600 KAMAZ-54901 LNG tractors. The first 30 vehicles have already been added to the transport and logistics company's fleet. This was announced by KAMAZ.
The delivery was carried out within the framework of an agreement on the development of gas-powered vehicles and alternative fuels in commercial cargo transportation. The automaker is expected to supply NATCAR with 300 vehicles by the end of 2025 and as many more by June 2026.
The KAMAZ-54901 LNG is a gas-powered version of the flagship generation K5. In this modification, the car is equipped with a KAMAZ R6 (Euro-5) gas engine with a capacity of 460 hp, an automated gearbox and two cryobucks that hold 1 cubic meter of liquefied natural gas.
The use of LNG reduces fuel costs with a range of up to 1.6 thousand km at one gas station. In addition, the use of this technique reduces the carbon footprint.
