The truck is equipped with a 560-horsepower R6 engine and a 16-speed manual transmission. The gross weight of the road train is up to 120 tons.
The certification of the new product is scheduled for the fall of 2025. Serial production of the truck will begin in 2026. The "65956" model is part of the K5 line.
KamAZ also plans to launch the production of the KamAZ-65959 dump truck with a 6x6 wheel arrangement. This model is already available in the configurator, and sales are expected in the summer.
