Every driver of a Kama car dreamed of the time when KAMAZ would be able not only with power, but also with comfort to compete with foreign truck manufacturers. And every carrier was sure of the lack of inspiration and modern trends in the Kama fleet of long-haul tractors.
The plant began creating a tractor capable of replacing and seriously transforming the latest KAMAZ 5460 model back in 2007, announcing a competition to create a design for a new truck cab. The main goal of releasing a new series of cars, of course, is to integrate the latest generation of engines from an imported manufacturer: the 5490 model has become the first link in the chain of Euro-5 environmental class engines. But comfort has become an equally important task for Chelny developers.
The winner of the competition was the DMEC enterprise, which is part of the KIA Motors group of companies and belongs to the Hyundai corporation, part of the shares of which was owned for some time by the Japanese corporation Mitsubishi, but both were eventually bought by the German giant Daimler. Therefore, we can say with confidence that developers from world-class automakers worked on the creation of a new tractor.
Advantages:
- Engine Mercedes-Benz OM457LA;
- Comfortable cabin;
- Increased load capacity;

Cabin KAMAZ 5490
The engine and axle of the new KAMAZ were created by engineers from Daimler Trucks, and Russian designers thought about the cabin. The development process cost the Kama Automobile Plant more than a billion rubles. The prototype was first presented for viewing in 2011 in two versions: Mercedes Axor and the development of Korean partners.
There is nothing wrong with the fact that the prototype was the Aksor cabin, which has been produced since 2001. Compared to the familiar old one, the 5490 cabin opens a new era of comfort and design for the Kama manufacturer. In addition, it was well modified by Kama engineers, and the designers even managed to give it the stateliness of a full-fledged flagship tractor. In general, the new KAMAZ 5490 is very different from the Mercedes-Benz Axor model, despite many similarities.
Comfort
The first thing that catches your eye about the new cabin is its impressive size. The external width, excluding mirrors and wings, is 2300 mm, the length is 2250 mm, and the internal height, even of the low-roof version, is 1510 mm. The high roof gives a headroom of 1910 mm, and the full width of our own design is 2500 mm.
The modern look is attractive and aerodynamic. The material of the bumper, running boards and fenders is high-quality and durable plastic, the placement is higher than that of a Mercedes. The bumper is equipped with four steps with a special anti-slip coating, one of which is inside the passenger compartment. There are handrails under the windshield for its maintenance, next to the door there are vertical handrails, the door opens quite wide.
The cabin is attached to the frame with a soft four-point air suspension - an alternative to rigid German spring struts. The seats in the cabin, assembled in Elabuga, are also on air suspension, which is adjustable with a lot of settings. The armrests are folding, the seats are comfortable, the steering column is adjustable for reach and tilt. To the right of the driver there is an abundance of niches and shelves, two cup holders.
Above the windshield there is a radio, digital tachograph and lockable storage compartments. Behind the seats are two sleeping bunks, allowing drivers to rest at the same time, while the top bunk is foldable. From the bottom shelf you can control the lighting, the sunroof drive and the pre-start liquid heater.
In addition - air conditioning, cruise control with steering wheel controls and power windows.

It is no secret that the price of diesel fuel has long surpassed the price of 95-grade gasoline. In such conditions, everyone is looking for an opportunity to reduce fuel costs as much as possible. This is especially true for commercial carriers, whose annual mileage is measured in hundreds of thousands of kilometers.
It should be taken into account that the fleets of large carriers include not one or two vehicles, but several tens or hundreds of vehicles. In such conditions, every liter of fuel, multiplied by the mileage and the number of cars in the fleet, can have a very significant impact on the budget. Over the course of many years, equipment powered by compressed natural gas (CNG) has been supplied. Recent research in this area thanks to innovative technologies has made it possible to create unique offers for customers, including the KAMAZ-5490-87 (S5) NEO gas-diesel truck tractor. By replacing part of the diesel fuel with gas, fleet owners can save up to 500,000 rubles per year on fuel with a vehicle mileage of 185,000 km (two-shift operating mode on the far shoulder is taken into account).
The vehicle is designed on the basis of the most popular long-haul truck tractor in Russia in 2018, KAMAZ-5490 NEO, with a 4x2 wheel arrangement. Unlike the base vehicle, instead of the right fuel tank, a cassette of 4 gas cylinders of 80 liters each is installed, which at a pressure of 200 bar can hold 64 m3 of methane. On the left is a standard 450 liter fuel tank.
The Mercedes-Benz OM 457LA Euro 5 turbocharged engine has been re-equipped and can operate in both diesel and gas-diesel modes. In gas-diesel mode, the engine simultaneously consumes diesel fuel, which acts as an ignition fraction, and gas, which promotes better combustion of the mixture, while maintaining all the power characteristics of the engine.
To switch to the gas-diesel engine power mode, the driver only needs to press the corresponding button on the instrument panel. You can control the methane balance both using a pressure gauge and while moving from the cabin thanks to an indicator with 4 LEDs.
The cruising range of the KAMAZ-5490 NEO in gas-diesel mode is 450 km. If the gas cylinders run out, the car automatically switches to diesel mode and can travel another 950 km before the next refueling.
Maintenance of gas equipment is carried out simultaneously with the maintenance of the car itself and consists of replacing high and low pressure filters, checking and inspecting gas vessels, gas lines, electrical components and fasteners.
Now, with rising prices for liquid fuel, KAMAZ-5490 NEO gas-diesel vehicles are becoming increasingly in demand. Thus, at the end of 2018, sales of gas-diesel versions increased 7.5 times compared to 2022, from 270 to 2010 units. The expanding network and developed infrastructure of compressed natural gas (CNG) filling stations allows transport companies to build cargo transportation logistics using the KAMAZ-5490 NEO gas-diesel truck tractor with the greatest economic effect.

- Dual-fuel versions of KAMAZ 5490-DC/DL have gone through a full cycle of development, testing at the bench, at test sites and have their own OTTS
- The Dual-fuel system was developed by Gazodiesel Systems LLC together with the world's leading one (Westport) and KAMAZ PJSC. It is fully integrated into the vehicle and works seamlessly with its systems
- Installation of the diesel-gas system is carried out under supervision in a special building for gas vehicles (KGA) of KAMAZ PJSC
- Regular quality audits are carried out by Dutch partners from
The main advantages of gas-diesel vehicles:
- Vehicles equipped with diesel-gas systems are capable of operating both on a mixture of diesel and gas, and in normal diesel mode. This makes their use universal, without much dependence on the proximity of gas stations
- Diesel gas is a realistic and effective solution to reduce vehicle fleet operating costs in Russia over the next 10 years
- Operating the engine in Dual-fuel mode, where a mixture of methane and air is supplied simultaneously with the injection of diesel fuel into the cylinders, allows reducing fuel costs by up to 23%
- The Dual-fuel "PRINS" system is reliable, easy to operate, safe and automatic. All system control is just one button in the cockpit and a gas reserve indicator. The machine is equipped with a telematics system that allows you to remotely control many parameters and the stock/consumption of diesel fuel and gas.
Efficiency of gas-diesel tractors:
- The use of the Dual-fuel system allows you to replace from 35% to 45% of diesel fuel with gas, which in terms of money, taking into account the difference in the price of methane and diesel fuel, saves up to 23% in money
- With a tractor mileage of 180,000 km per year, the car saves you up to 500,000 rubles. This is equivalent to purchasing “free” every 11th KAMAZ 5490 NEO tractor for your fleet in the first year of operation
- The network of gas stations is rapidly expanding throughout Russia, which makes the use of gas-diesel vehicles increasingly attractive. But even now a car can travel up to 450 km on one gas fill-up, and if it runs out, then automatically switching to diesel mode, the car will travel another 700 km
- The service interval for diesel-gas vehicles is similar to the usual one for KAMAZ NEO - 60,000 km. Maintenance of the gas system is simple and inexpensive (on average, about 20 thousand rubles)
