Gazprom ordered KamAZ to transport employees in the oil and gas sector. In response, the concern developed a new KAMAZ-6250 all-terrain shift bus. The experimental model is already being tested at the Beloyarsk Department of Emergency Recovery Operations of Gazprom Transgaz Yugorsk LLC, after which it will be finalized and it will be possible to talk about mass production.
KAMAZ-6250 has all-wheel drive. At the request of the client, the all-terrain bus can run on diesel fuel, liquefied gas, and compressed gas. For a variation of the internal combustion engine on compressed gas, a reinforced northern version of the bus and an additional range of up to 550 km are attached. Thus, the all-terrain vehicle will be able to transport workers over longer distances, for example, during emergency situations, or to remote sites.
The all-terrain bus can comfortably accommodate 32 passengers. If luggage compartments are installed, then people will be crowded: only 23 passengers will fit. Inside the bus there is air conditioning and an air heating device. At the same time, a gas leak detection and fire extinguishing system is installed.
It is noted that the model meets safety requirements. The power frame ensures the safety of passengers in the event of a rollover, and each seat has its own three-point seat belts. If a passenger is not wearing a seat belt, the smart system will tell the driver about it, and he will take action.
Earlier, the KamAZ concern announced a new program for its development until 2030, which includes new promising areas of technology: K5+ generation trucks, new families of passenger transport and Kompas vehicles, carbon-free and highly automated transport. By 2030, KamAZ plans to earn almost a trillion rubles.
