The exterior of the KamAZ-54901 was complemented by aerodynamic fairings on the cab and chassis to reduce fuel consumption by 5-10%. The model is equipped with a modernized 13-liter KamAZ R6 910 engine with a capacity of 560 hp with a torque of 2600 Nm.

In addition, in the new configuration, the tractor is equipped with a 12-speed robotic gearbox with a retarder - a hydraulic retarder, which allows to increase the service life of the brake mechanisms.
The truck can travel up to 5,000 km on two full tanks.
