By the end of 2023 head of Rostekha Sergey Chemezov statement, which this year’s flagship truck KamAZ К5 will be imported at all 100%. This applies to various aggregates and nodes, including the cabin. The project of localization of stamping cabin for К5 implements the press-frame plant (PRZ) KamAZ, and in the current year the production is replenished with new lines.
These include lines of longitudinal cutting of metal rolls and cross cutting of sheet blanks – both of which will be launched by the end of 2024. Increase productivity and improve quality will allow the robotic welding cell: its tests have already been conducted at the supplier, in the near future it will be supplied to PRZ. These measures combined with others allow as a result to localize the frame cabin, «inherited» from Mercedes-Benz Actros MP4, at 100%.
