In 2026, the Tutaev Engine Plant, a subsidiary of KAMAZ in the Yaroslavl region, will implement the first stage of the project "Organization of production of R6 engines with a working volume of 13 liters."
Production of the 13-liter R6 engine is a strategic focus for the plant this year. The first delivery of this engine to the St. Petersburg Tractor Plant assembly line is scheduled for July. Construction work is currently underway at the R6 engine production site and is expected to be completed in May.
Specifically, work continues to prepare the assembly and testing area for the R6 inline engines in the mechanical assembly shop. Lighting, infrared heating, and an assembly stand have been installed, and a substation is being installed.
Site preparation work began last summer. The test bay layout and the R6 engine assembly and testing area were developed. Equipment for the test bay was delivered. Prototype engines were manufactured in the second half of 2025 and shipped to the customer.
After organizing serial supply of R6 engines (13 liters) to consumers, the plant team will begin implementing the project “Experimental design work and organization of production of R6 engines with a working volume of 15.2 and 18 liters.”
