KamAZ5320

The KamAZ 5320 is a Soviet and later Russian heavy-duty truck that was produced by KamAZ. Introduced in 1976, it became one of the most widespread trucks in the Soviet Union and Russia. The 5320 was a conventional cab-over-engine design, featuring a robust chassis and a powerful diesel engine. It was primarily designed for general cargo transportation and was built to withstand harsh operating conditions.

The KamAZ 5320 was available in various configurations, including a standard truck, a tractor unit for semi-trailers, and dump trucks. Its payload capacity typically ranged from 8 to 10 tons, making it suitable for a wide array of logistical tasks. The truck was powered by a KamAZ diesel engine, known for its reliability and torque. Over its production run, several upgrades and modifications were introduced to improve performance, fuel efficiency, and driver comfort.

The 5320 played a significant role in the Soviet economy, supporting industries such as agriculture, construction, and military logistics. Its widespread use meant it was a familiar sight on roads across the Soviet bloc. Production of the 5320 continued for many years, with later versions incorporating updated components and features. Although newer KamAZ models have since been introduced, the 5320 remains a symbol of Soviet automotive engineering and a testament to its enduring utility. Many examples are still in service in various parts of the world.
