KAMAZ PJSC and the Smolmash plant have launched a new combined road vehicle, the KDM-7881190, based on the K5 generation dump truck, the KAMAZ-65951 (8×4).
The new KDM is based on a high-tech four-axle KAMAZ-65951 chassis. This latest-generation K5 is designed for operation in harsh conditions. The vehicle's gross vehicle weight reaches 50 tons, with the front axles supporting loads of up to 18 tons, and the rear bogie supporting up to 32 tons. The vehicle is equipped with a modern KAMAZ R6 diesel engine with a displacement of 13 liters, a power output of 482 hp, and a torque of 2,403 Nm. It is coupled with a 16-speed transmission. The pneumatic brake system with EBS and an electronically controlled parking brake meets modern safety standards. The comfortable cabin is equipped with everything necessary for a comfortable driver experience. A multimedia system with navigation, hands-free calling, music and video playback, vehicle parameter monitoring, and cabin heater control is also included. The 8×4 wheel arrangement ensures high cross-country capability and versatility.
Smolmash engineers designed the new KDM model to make the flagship KAMAZ-65951 dump truck an effective tool for year-round maintenance and cleaning of paved roads. The solution is based on a quick-release sand and salt spreader with a 14-cubic-meter carbon steel hopper. This design ensures high versatility: the special equipment can be quickly converted without losing its primary dump truck functions. To effectively combat ice, a de-icing agent wetting system with 3,000-liter plastic tanks is included, and the hopper is equipped with a heavy-duty cover to protect the de-icing agent from external influences. Particular attention was paid to control during development: the reagent distribution process is fully automated (the spreading density is adjustable from 5-500 g/m²; the spreading width is adjustable from 1.2 to 12 m) and is controlled from the driver's cab. The engineers also provided duplicate control using an ergonomic joystick, which allows the operator to instantly adjust operating parameters.
A powerful LED light on the cab and an additional LED panel located on top of the hopper provide excellent visibility at night. To warn other road users in poor visibility, strobe lights are installed, as well as active LED "Arrow" and "Road Works" signs.
In addition to the spreading equipment, the KDM is equipped with a four-meter-wide, hydraulically rotating composite plow blade. The use of composite materials allows for a lightweight design and improved snow glide, ensuring high-quality road surface clearing even at high operating speeds.
