Trunk truck tractor of European quality KamAZ-5490 and its modifications

The KamAZ-5490 is a modern long-haul three-axle tractor. It is distinguished by an improved comfortable cabin, a reliable German engine and increased load capacity. Thanks to its modern appearance, solid metal body, electric tilt drive, air suspension and aerodynamic suspension, the vehicle is in high demand among car owners.

Interior and Exterior Overview

The cabin has an improved interior. The manufacturer has made the following changes to the device:

a pair of sleeping places;
high roof.

This equipment allows you to use the vehicle for cargo transportation at the interregional and international level.

The designers took the Mercedes Axor cabin as a basis for the appearance, changing the design of the headlights and turn signals. The streamlined shape of the cabin is aimed at improving the aerodynamic component. The new KamAZ has the following appearance features:

round headlights;
separate turn signals;
the footrest is located at a comfortable level for the passenger and driver;
an unpainted bumper allows you to hide minor dirt;
radiator grille with a large company logo;
4 fog lights in separate niches;
rounded side glass.

The driver's wide viewing angle is made possible thanks to the glass area. The manufacturer began to use new wheels with tires of European quality. The process of replacing and searching for wheels has become easier.

The KamAZ-5490-001-68(T5) truck tractor has undergone major changes in terms of interior design:

Several cabin variations: Korean and German. Most of the batch comes with a variant from Germany, based on the Mercedes Axor.
The comfort level corresponds to German. Compared to previous cars of this company, it has stepped far forward.
The dimensions of the cabin have become larger: it is spacious, has a height of 1.91 m. The driver can always stand up and fully straighten up.
Adjustable chair with damping suspension and multiple settings. Even when driving for a long time, a person does not feel tired.
Steering column adjustable along different axes.
A comfortable microclimate is provided by air conditioning and a cruise control system.
Electric windows.
Two berths 2 m long and 0.7 m wide.
Lots of shelves, departments and sections for storing tools, documents and other small items.
The front panel with controls provides convenient driver access to the necessary elements. There are several buttons on the steering wheel. Anti-glare coating on the dashboard.
The presence of armrests and cup holders.
Proper placement of the handbrake lever and gearbox.
Audio system, autonomous heating system.

In addition to the above, owners can order a mini-fridge, a navigation system and air conditioning. There are more German-made cabins on the market. Asian models are produced in limited quantities.

Specifications

The KamAZ-5490 mainline tractor has technical characteristics that are surprising in their performance. They allow you to increase the number of items transported by installing a trailer. The S5 Neo car model received a new engine. The user can choose from two options. The situation is similar with the transmission. Characteristics:

dimensions (l*w*h) - 6.1*2.5*2.5 m;
weight with semi-trailer - 36 tons;
ground clearance - 220 mm;
maximum lift angle - 10°;
load capacity as part of a road train - 44 tons.

The technical parameters of the machine make it reliable, maneuverable, safe, and as close as possible to European analogues.

Power unit

The model is equipped with new power units. The user can choose:

4-stroke engine, volume 11.8 l - basic version;
8-cylinder diesel engine.

turbocharging system;
presence of intermediate air cooling;
engine power 428-440 hp. With.;
torque - 1900 rpm;
economical fuel injection mechanism;
The company claims the engine resource is 1200 thousand km.

Some modifications can be both methane and diesel. This is convenient, because not all regions have large quantities of gas stations. The vehicle's fuel consumption rate is reduced compared to older models. KamAZ-5490 fuel consumption per 100 km is 33 liters. It is planned that future modifications will meet European environmental standards Euro 4.

Transmission

The gearbox is available in several variations. For a German engine, it has the following characteristics: 16-speed manual, remote control and hypoid main gear. The best option for truck drivers. The gearbox is connected to the engine by a single-plate clutch and has an intarder. The Russian manufacturer offers a 12-speed non-synchronized gearbox. The maximum speed of the tractor is 5490 - 110 km/h.

Suspension

The gas-diesel KamAZ-5490 has a platform with a 2-axle frame base and an air suspension of 2 cylinders. The driving wheels are rear.

The suspension system features a differential lock, air suspension, leaf springs and a roll stabilizer.

For smooth operation and comfortable driving, the fingers must be lubricated regularly. The installed system allows you to adjust the ride height. Wheel formula - 4*2.

Brake system

The brake system is equipped with a disc mechanism. Additionally, electro-pneumatic drives, an anti-traction system and a directional stability mechanism are installed.

Steering

Designers from Germany worked on the development of the steering control. The basis was taken from a device that was tested in the Dakar rally. Distinctive features:

massive steering wheel;
easy and simple controls;
load on the rear axle - 2.6 tons;
vehicle weight - 18.6 tons.

Hydrostatic power steering makes it easier to control the vehicle.

Operation and main malfunctions

The operating instructions contain basic information about the transport mechanism, preparing it for operation, rules and frequency of maintenance, main malfunctions, principles of operation of the gear shift system and brake mechanism. Following the manufacturer's recommendations will extend the life of the equipment.

German mechanisms are distinguished by high quality and reliability. The manufacturer claims a service life of 1,000 thousand kilometers. But this is only possible with periodic maintenance and proper operation of the vehicle. The engine, produced in Germany, is distinguished by its demands on fuel quality. Features of operation of the KamAZ-5490 Neo tractor:

the need for high quality fuel;
reliability of the device with proper maintenance;
the possibility of repair work only in service centers, of which there are few in Russia.

If minor breakdowns occur, you can use the diagram and repair manual for independent work. Otherwise, you should contact customer service.

Error codes

Hold the engine diagnostic switch on the instrument panel in the lower and upper positions for more than 2 seconds.
After you release the lever, look at the LED light, it will start flashing, indicating the error combination.
When you press the switch again, the flashlight will indicate the following error.
The upgraded devices on KamAZ Neo display codes in the form of numbers.
After eliminating the breakdown, you need to reset the errors. To do this, you need to turn off the engine, turn off the ignition, and open the hood. You will need to disconnect the negative terminal of the battery, and after a minute put it back in place.

Owner reviews

Denis, Rostov-on-Don, 35 years old: “The manufacturer equipped the new KamAZ as standard with air conditioning, two sleeping places, air suspension on the seat, and cruise control. Among the shortcomings, I will note problems with the lighting system, rear stabilizer and “rotting” of the wires. Within 2 years, due to problems with the wires, the air springs and the distribution valve on the brakes stopped functioning.”

Aleskey, Naberezhnye Chelny, 35 years old: “KAMAZ-5490-022-87 Neo is a good model from the Russian automobile industry. They fell a little short of the standards of foreign cars, but the comfort and technical characteristics are pleasing. The German cabin is equipped as conveniently as possible for the driver. 2 sleeping places allow two workers to rest at the same time. There have been no problems with the engine and main mechanisms in 2 years.”
