KamAZ announced the signing of a framework agreement with Hawtai Motor Group Co on Thursday. The agreement provides for the creation of a joint venture for the production of Chinese brand cars. The parameters of the new plant were not disclosed, the representative of KamAZ said that they would be named after the signing of the final contract. Hawtai did not respond to RBC's request. In October 2014, the Chinese company announced its intention to invest $1.1 billion in the Russian car assembly production, the production volume was to be 100 thousand cars per year. The construction took a year. Now we are talking about the production of about 50 thousand cars a year, says a RBC source close to KamAZ. At the same time, within the framework of the joint venture, KamAZ plans to build a truck production plant in the Chinese city of Tianjin together with Hawtai.
KamAZ will contribute to the JV production facilities at its plant in Naberezhnye Chelny, truck production technologies and "management resources", Hawtai - technologies, design developments and other know-how in the production of passenger cars, the companies said. The sales of the joint venture will be carried out "using the advantages of the commodity distribution networks of both parties." “The agreement is aimed at supporting our long-term strategy of diversifying sales and developing new fast-growing markets,” KamAZ said in a statement, the words of its CEO Sergey Kogogin. The Russian truck manufacturer had experience in the production of passenger cars - from 1988 to 2005, a small-capacity Oka was assembled at KamAZ.
hawtai motor Founded in 2000, headquartered in Beijing. In China, the company produces models under the Hawtai brand on the platforms of the South Korean Hyundai Motors under its license. The company's lineup includes SUVs Hawtai Boliger, Hawtai C9 Santa Fe, Hawtai Terracan, as well as sedans Hawtai E70 and Hawtai B11. The total capacity is 800 thousand cars and car sets per year, the volume of production in 2014 is about 200 thousand cars. Hawtai cooperates with renowned transmission manufacturer ZF, as well as with the Italian diesel engine company VM.
Initially, Hawtai planned to organize the assembly of its models in Russia on its own. Sites in the special economic zone of Tatarstan "Alabuga", Togliatti, Sverdlovsk region and Cherkessk were considered for production. But in the end, the company decided to work in partnership with KamAZ. “In Russia, at the level of recommendations, there is a soft policy of curbing the presence of Chinese automakers: they are recommended to work in the format of a joint venture with a Russian partner. This practice, by the way, is borrowed from the same China, ”says Sergey Sanakoev, president of the Russian-Chinese Analytical Center.
In China, KamAZ plans to sell 50,000 trucks a year, Kogogin said, also without naming a time frame. In 2014, the Russian company sold 26.4 thousand cars (down 17.2% compared to 2013), it exported a little more than 6 thousand cars and car kits (6.8% more than in 2013). That is, due to the Chinese market, KamAZ expects to triple last year's sales.
Taking into account the fact that about 700 thousand trucks are sold annually in China, it will not be difficult for KamAZ to reach the volume of 50 thousand vehicles, a representative of the Russian company is sure. Sergey Udalov, executive director of Avtostat, calls KamAZ's plans ambitious, but realistic given the size of the Chinese market.
Hawtai, according to Udalov, partnership with KamAZ will provide an opportunity to bypass bureaucratic barriers and quickly adapt to the peculiarities of doing business in Russia. According to the results of the first half of 2015, sales of Chinese cars in Russia decreased by more than 60% compared to the same period last year, with a general market decline of 37%: in January-June, 14.5 thousand models of Lifan, Geely, Chery and Great Wall were bought in Russia. In a crisis, the budget segment of cars suffers the most, but it quickly recovers when the market is on the rise, explains Udalov. This is what the Chinese are now betting on.
In addition to Hawtai, the Chinese Great Wall (up to 150,000 cars a year, investments up to $500 million), Lifan (60,000 cars; $300 million), Dongfeng and Zotye (7,000 cars for two; 191 million rubles) want to build factories in Russia. Dongfeng also plans to assemble passenger buses in Russia for $100,000.
slightly overloaded. In 1999-2001, I worked in Moscow at the ZIL plant in the engine shop as a grinder. The plant worked very poorly and was dying. ZIL 6 ton did but very little. In appearance it was the same ZIL but what happened to the enemy of KAMAZ. Tears welled up in my eyes. I KAMAZist and I love him, despite the fact that he is honestly a capricious asshole and loves new parts very much. The new ZILs have become much weaker than any shabby old KMAZ. At the factory, I went to the tool room to take a micrometer right away on day 1. In the instrumental, they began to look at me like an astronaut. They immediately began to talk to me on YOU, why do YOU need a micrometer, YOU that you even know how to measure with it how much we work, our grinders have never used a micrometer. For a grinder to work on a machine without a micrometer, it’s tantamount to the driver getting behind the wheel to close his eyes and start moving. The plant was old and neglected. got in on it himself. An old but peppy professor, guys, and I recognized YOU YOU are machine operators from ZILA. He worked in the space industry. He called us endangered dinosaurs and “rejoiced” that there were few turners left who could carve a SIMPLE GOOD BOLT. At KAMAZ, you think there are few “specialists” than it is better. Newer plants without updating are aging quickly almost like cars. The plant has not yet been updated and is already outdated for some reason, for some reason, it’s always so unlucky as in football. An updated plant 1 should immediately make the car BETTER than all existing cars. there were 3 steel plates of 5 tons each. KAMAZ died and saved me. In Tiraspol, they just started making refrigerated trucks for tractors right away with a very small acceleration of 5-6 months. They turned out to be a little kg. 400-700 heavier than German ones, but 2-3 times stronger. The Nets collaborated with the plant and cooperated. They just slammed the new plant and the old territory fell apart by itself. The Swedes bought the latest missile system in RUSSIA at that time, but without the KAMAZ athlete, and instantly installed it on SCANIA. The Americans are kind and love to work on the ball very quickly, without even having time to look at anything, they helped the Swedes to get tired of the complex. Guys, at what speed are YOU going to go downhill in the new KAMAZ in winter according to the rules. Most likely, closing your eyes in the old fashioned way. There will be big problems with the rear axle. After all, YOU also have road trains, but they forgot about sandblasting. Our legendary T-34 VICTORY tank is a real monster compared to the German Tiger. The TIGER pierced the T-34 for 1500m. and the T-34 could penetrate the TIGER from 500m. The T-34 went into battle 2-3 times on average and the TIGER knocked out 20 T-34s in 1 battle. For 10 years, the chief businessman tried Khodorkovsky under the wrong article, but he only smiled. It was necessary to judge him for the murderer and not as an accountant and take all the millions. Most importantly, our plants are mostly dead. From the moment the engine is launched, it works to its death. Factories are not repaired properly and the fleet of machine tools is not updated. Everything works for us until it breaks down or crumbles. When a bolt breaks on the block heads, you need to rejoice. Who knew we were glad if we had to completely remove the head. they are waiting for the factories with bated breath, as he will jump out to the world market and drive everyone out of the market. Fashion is the strongest and cheapest. But the Tatar boy is ashamed to jump, he is still young and many people love him at home. Their factories are older and better. In the cities of America, the streets are mostly straight from the intersection to the intersection of 4-5 km. They are closed for repairs from 12 at night to 6 in the morning to the minute. Americans love time as much as bucks. The police guard the intersections from cars, the road workers are repairing the road. At 6 00, the road workers must clear the road without leaving or forgetting anything. This was told to us by Colonel Baryshev of the Main Political Directorate in 1971 in Moscow. So for 10-15 years, and all of our RUSSIA can be on the roads no worse than America. A person in his life, on average, will be able to eat 60 tons of solid foods and a cap for the engine. A businessman can steal indefinitely, because he himself does not know at all how much he wants to steal and why he should steal. The main businessman must return to scouts and not wander around the globe. His business trips are dangerous not only for him, but for all of us, he alone knows the code where our money is. Our machines are SHIT compared to theirs. We cannot mass-produce high-precision parts and the purity of processing is worse for us. You don’t need to send cars to Dakar, you need to take them from the assembly line.
He is considered the flagship, he won the annual competition "Best Commercial Vehicle of the Year in Russia" and was awarded the honorary title "Perspective of the Year".
The head of the Republic of Tatarstan called him a diamond. The creation of the latest model KAMAZ-5490, designed to replace the predecessor of the 5460 series, has become a real technological breakthrough in the field of domestic freight transport.
With the world on a string
New technology can be fully called an international brainchild - more than one foreign automobile concern took part in its development. The family tree of the 5490 is branchy and confusing. Back in 2007, KAMAZ held a tender to create a project for a new series of cabs for its trucks. The competition, having unconditionally fulfilled all the conditions of the terms of reference, was won by the South Korean diversified enterprise DMEC, which is part of the KIA Motors group of companies.
Since the end of the last century, in turn, it has been owned by Hyundai Corporation. At one time, Japanese Mitsubishi owned part of the shares of this corporation, but with the onset of the millennium, German Daimler bought most of the shares of both auto companies. Thus, the new KAMAZ-5490 is the product of the best minds of the world's leading automakers.
Two cab options are proposed: Mersedes Axor and development of Korean partners KamAZ
The project was developed by Daimler Trucks engineers and the designers of KAMAZ OJSC, moreover, the former created the engine and axle, and the latter thought about the cab. More than 1.2 billion rubles were invested in the development process alone.
The dream of Russian truckers
Thanks to the efforts of Kama specialists, the new KAMAZ model will have a 428-horsepower Mercedes-Benz engine running on Euro-5 fuel, or KAMAZ-740.75. The creators assure that thanks to modern engines, the car's resource is about a million kilometers. And most likely, this is true, but what is the overall design and other technical characteristics of KAMAZ-5490?
Engine KAMAZ 740.70
Such a main tractor was not previously produced. The new model has an atypical cabin layout for the Russian automotive industry, a high-tech gearbox and axles that have no analogues.
Understanding exactly what carriers need, the plant has focused maximum attention on increasing the level of comfort for drivers.
The cabin is striking in its spaciousness - its internal height reaches 1910 millimeters, in addition, drivers in the parking lots will be able to rest at the same time, a bunk bed is provided for this.
The Axor cab will go into production first (pictured below)
The seats are equipped with air suspension, the steering column has an adjustable function, a cruise control system has been introduced, and there is also air conditioning and power windows! Tens of thousands of Russian truckers a couple of years ago could not even dream of such a level of comfort.
Tatar "diamond" recipe
Among other important advantages of the unique brainchild of the auto giant are the ECAS automatic wheel suspension control system, a system that provides directional stability, ultra-safe electronically controlled disc brakes.
People who are versed in automotive technology will be able to evaluate the filling of a promising model:
- two turbodiesels: either KAMAZ-740.75 or German Mercedes-Benz OM 457LA;
- Daimler HL6 axle with hypoid gear;
- gearboxes ZF 16S-2221 or automatic transmission ZF-AS-Tronic 12AS-2131;
- low saddle with a height of only 110 centimeters.
With all these technical "goodies", the cost of a new truck model will be 2.5 million, which is about 20% lower than the price of mainline tractors from competing manufacturers.
At the exhibition, the car with the Axor cab looked much more organic
The new model also has its disadvantages, for example, the ability to carry only a very small supply of fuel - two 400-liter tanks. Not the best indicators and relative to the weight of the car in running order - almost 8 tons. But the main tractor has the ability to work as part of a road train with a maximum load of up to 44 tons.
Specifications
However, in general, it should be recognized that the automaker's experience in creating a modern model of equipment turned out to be successful. However, the model will be launched into mass production only this year, only then will buyers be able to appreciate all its pluses and minuses.
The KAMAZ trademark is well known in Russia and abroad. The KAMAZ Corporation includes over 150 companies located in Russia, the CIS countries and abroad. 40 years have passed since the first car left the assembly line. During this time, KAMAZ produced more than 2 million vehicles. The corporation ranks 13th in the world ranking of truck manufacturers.
In recent years, KAMAZ has been paying special attention to the development of new, promising car models. The company's specialists are actively working to expand the range of vehicles and components, taking into account modern requirements for technical characteristics and consumer properties. At the same time, designers use domestic developments together with solutions recognized by world automakers.
One of such international projects was the creation of a new model of the modern truck tractor KAMAZ-5490. Its development lasted several years, with the participation of several world-class foreign companies. The total amount of investments at this stage amounted to more than 1.2 billion rubles. It was recognized as the best commercial vehicle of the year in Russia and was awarded the title of "Perspective of the Year". The creation of the KAMAZ-5490 model is a true technological breakthrough in the field of domestic trucks.
Cabin
The Mercedes-Benz Axor model was taken as the basis for the development of the cab. Then it was completely redesigned by the engineers of the automobile plant, and the designers gave it the features of a full-fledged flagship tractor.
In the photo, it looks stylish, and its streamlined shape improves the aerodynamic properties of the car. The cab has original radiator grilles, a bumper, a lower panel, footboards, fenders. They are made from high quality durable plastic. It is non-corrosive and easy to clean. The bumper has two steps with an anti-slip coating. The cab is attached to the frame at four points on the air suspension, which makes it very soft.
- Cabin height Kamaz 5490 - 1910 mm, which allows the driver to stand up to his full height. There are two berths at the back, which allows drivers to rest at the same time.
- The bottom shelf is 685mm wide and the top shelf is 700mm wide.
- The overall width of the cab is 2300 mm, which allows you to feel comfortable even with high growth.
For the convenience of the driver while driving, the seats are air-suspended. They are equipped with the necessary adjustments and have folding armrests. The steering wheel is adjustable for reach and tilt. The cabin is equipped with cruise control, electric windows, air conditioning. All these innovations can be seen on the video presented on the company's website.
At the bottom of the front panel, to the right of the driver, there are many different shelves and niches, and at the top there are two cup holders. The height of the cab made it possible to place additional lockable compartments above the windshield. There is a radio and a tachograph. In the center of the roof there is an electrically operated ventilation sunroof. When finishing the cabin, light gray high-quality plastic was used.
Hella headlights were used for lighting, and direction indicators and side lights on LEDs
Motor
Thanks to the efforts of the Kama designers, the Kamaz 5490 will have a Daimler OM 457LA inline six-cylinder diesel engine from Mercedes-Benz, which has received excellent feedback from drivers. With the use of BlueTec technology, it has the ability to work according to the Euro-5 standard. The volume of the engine is 11.97 liters and is capable of developing a power of 428 hp, with a maximum torque of 2100 Nm. The engine design is traditional. Used fuel equipment - installed individually on each cylinder, electronically controlled injection pump. The presented turbodiesel is quite economical, its service interval is 80 thousand, and the declared resource is over a million kilometers.
As a transmission in the car, a 12-speed ZF 16S-2221 or an automatic transmission ZF-AS-Tronic 12AS-2131 is used. The clutch is a single disc diaphragm MFZ 430.
On the KAMAZ 5490 model, the Mercedes HL6 drive axle was used, with a hypoid gearbox and a gear ratio of 3.077, which is a very good solution. It has the ability to lock the differential.
Suspension
Through the efforts of KAMAZ designers, the new model of the mainline tractor is equipped with air suspension. The front part of the car's suspension is made on springs, which are located on the fingers. A roll stabilizer has also been installed. The springs are able to provide a smooth ride and create comfortable conditions for the driver on the road. A two-cylinder air suspension system is installed on the drive axle. ECAS is used as the control system. The ability to adjust the air suspension allows you to set the optimal ground clearance during loading and unloading, as well as ensure a smooth ride and cornering stability.
The brakes on the KAMAZ 5490 tractor are all disc brakes. The truck is equipped with an EBS electro-pneumatic drive and an ESP stability control system. To prevent slipping, an ASR system is installed. In addition, the car has the function of course stability.
The steering gear has previously been tested on Dakar cars. Despite its impressive size, it is light and "obedient". By the way, a test drive of KAMAZ 5490 showed that driving a car is no more difficult than driving a passenger car.
Frame
The frame in KAMAZ 5490 is very technologically advanced. It is assembled from imported rolled products. All necessary brackets and hitch are fixed with high-strength bolts. An underrun bar is installed under the first crossbar. The front part of the left side member is used for mounting a bracket that combines the mounting of the front springs and the cab. Power steering is also installed on it. These integral brackets reduce loosening and twisting of the spars in this area. This allows you to improve handling and protect the frame from deformation.
Thanks to the manufacturability of the frame, it is possible to build a long-shaped tractor with a central axle arrangement on it for a road train with a trailer. With increased dimensions, the volume of the cargo compartment will increase from the usual 86 (93) to 110 cubic meters, which will allow to carry more cargo. As part of a road train, the main tractor can operate with a maximum load of up to 44 tons.
Advantages
Among the important advantages of the unique development of Kama masters is the price. The presented complete set of the tractor meets all modern requirements and is in no way inferior to foreign analogues.
