Traks Vostok Rus has launched the production of medium-duty Kompas-9 trucks with the KamAZ-590 engine. The cars will go on sale at the end of June.
The working volume of the new engine is 3.76 liters, power — 143 horsepower, torque — 500 Nm.
Presumably, the new domestic engine has become an import-substituted version of the American Cummins ISF 3.8 engine. The latter had a light weight with a power of 152 horsepower.
In addition to the new engine, the trucks will receive an improved air conditioning control unit, a media system with a screen, rear parking sensors and a rear view camera.
Kompas-9 is a series of Russian medium-duty low-frame trucks, produced since 2022 at the Kama Automobile Plant. The frame, axles and suspension were partially inherited from their predecessors KamAZ-4308 and KamAZ-5308, and the cab was borrowed from the Chinese JAC N series.
Recall that the international corporation Cummins left the Russian market in March 2022. It had thousands of customers in the Russian Federation.
