CNG-powered Kamaz vehicles on display
The municipality of Naberezhnye Chelny, located in the the Russian Republic of Tatarstan, recently hosted a conference on “CNG KAMAZ Vehicles”, which was initiated by OJSC KAMAZ – OOO RariTEK, the manufacturer. Participants learned of the many benefits of utilising natural gas fuelled vehicles. The municipality was able to report on its experience operating 8 combined street-sweeping dump trucks leased from Kamaz early 2011. The CNG fuelled ED-405AGs, based on KAMAZ-65115-30 chassis and operating to Euro IV standard, reduced operational costs by more than 2 million rubles (almost USD 66,000) over 8 months.

In Novosibirk, the largest city in Siberia, Sibir Industrial and Construction Concern has bought ten KAMAZ natural gas powered trucks. The new trucks will be used for transportation of sand and crushed stone. According to Dmitry Chervov, Director General of Sibir-razvitiye (a member of Sibir Concern), the company used different combined gas-diesel engines, but then came to the conclusion that it is more profitable to use KAMAZ trucks powered with serial gas engines running on pure methane. Significant costs savings are enabled for cargo transportation.
