The new all-wheel-drive fuel tanker based on KAMAZ-65958 received a tank for transporting, temporarily storing, and dispensing diesel fuel in off-road conditions. The vehicle was brought to the market by KAMAZ and its partner – the Miass plant NPO "Transmaster".
The special equipment is based on the heavy K5 generation chassis with an 8x8 wheel arrangement. The model has been produced since 2025 and was originally created as a universal platform for mounting large special equipment. The frame length reaches 9.4 meters, which allows it to accommodate capacious tanks and other superstructures.
Power is provided by an in-line KAMAZ R6 diesel engine with 560 hp. It is complemented by a 16-speed manual gearbox. The 8x8 all-wheel drive is designed for operating the vehicle outside the conventional road network, including on heavy terrain and remote industrial facilities.
