ing facility in Hosur and has been
testing its trucks on the Indian roads
since two years. The plant has a ca-
pacity of rolling out 5,000 trucks an-
nually. In the last two years, Kamaz
has done a thorough study of, and
research into the Indian market to
study its potential. “The basic result
from our market study is that we are
adapting our product to the domes-
tic market, taking into consideration
all local conditions. Specifically, we
are strengthening the frame, chang-
ing the filtering system, reworking
for the vehicle to be operated in
mines. Over 30 modifications have
been made in both models – 6540
and 6520”, said Mr. Agibalov.
Kamaz will begin serial produc-
tion of its products in April. It is
confident that the modifications
made in its products would prove
successful. “For the past two years,
we ran our product 6540. For next
year’s business plan, we have in-
cluded all modifications as per our
experience in the past two years.
We will be giving the same product
with all modifications, and it will be
a completely different new vehicle”,
