KAMAZ

KAMAZ was founded in 1969, when the Soviet authorities approved the construction of a complex of heavy duty truck plants on the Kama River. Ground was broken on 13 December 1969 at the chosen site of Naberezhnye Chelny.

By 2014 it was the largest truck producer in Russia and the CIS, building 43,000 trucks a year. Kamaz trucks have won the Dakar Rally a record eighteen times, more than any other manufacturer in the truck category.
