KAMAZ continues to work on import substitution of spare parts in its products. At the "Silk Road" rally, racing trucks will be shown with more Russian components.
The route of the sports competition will take place in the hot conditions of Mongolia. Engineers of the KAMAZ-master racing team, associated with the auto giant from Naberezhnye Chelny, have improved the engine cooling system of the trucks. This included the use of Russian components, which proved to be better than foreign counterparts.
Work has also been carried out to improve the smoothness of the truck's ride. The engineers changed the cab suspension, and now the car rolls less off-road.
The Silk Road Rally 2024 will be held from July 5 to 15 in Russia and Mongolia. The total route of the marathon will be 5,200 kilometers.
It is worth recalling that KAMAZ-Master is one of the most titled teams in the world of sports in the sports truck class. Russian pilots have become winners of the Dakar Rally 19 times. The first victory was won by the team in 1995 at the Master Rally.
