When experts and the General public showed the car and announced its technical characteristics. And now it is the turn of pre-production samples, which put at the disposal of potential clients, transport workers and journalists.

Truck, primarily distinguished by improved aerodynamics, in which the role of first violin performs the spoilers cabin and its form with improved flow.

Indeed, trapezoidal cab design with rounded top and full set of fairings (top and side) reduce the drag coefficient, whereas the lower spoiler optimizes air flow under the car. The streamlining of the cab, and at the same time reducing its mass is achieved, including through the use of 360 kg of polymeric materials.

The motor is equipped with a reinforced cylinder block of grey cast iron, steel piston, oil filter with high dirt-holding capacity, oil pump with increased performance, the Common Rail system providing injection pressure of the fuel of 1800 bar, optimised motor management programme. Resource of the power plant reaches 1.5 million kilometers. Great range provide fuel tanks with a volume of 1200-1400 L.
The engine is paired with a 12-speed automated transmission ZF Traxon, which has a wide range of additional functions such as maneuvering (movement with reduced transmission at low speeds), help in starting off on the rise (HSA Hill Start Assist), coast (Eco-Roll), the function of swinging, crawling regime (Creeping mode). To this must be added the modes boxes ECO and POWER.
On long-haul tractor KAMAZ-54901 installed single stage axle DAIMLER HL6, equipped with a hypoid main gear with reduced gear ratio gear ratio (2,278). Front axle with maintenance-free hubs designed for a load of 9 tons. The frame is made of lightweight high-strength steels that have reduced the kerb weight of the towing vehicle.
The car became the owner of modern active safety systems, which include: ABS, EBS (electronic braking system), ASR (protivoprotosana system), ESP (stability control system).

In such a configuration the KAMAZ-54901 can be towed by a 35.6-tonne semi-trailer and working in a roadtrain full weight up to 44 tons.
Resource truck reaches 1.2 million km, the service interval is THEN increased by half (from 80 to 120 thousand kilometers),
The price of a new tractor with a service contract for a 3-year guarantee period is 6 million 436 thousand rubles. Additional equipment will increase the cost to 7 million, in line with similar machines from the "big seven" or, say, the Ford F-MAX. Can model from Naberezhnye Chelny to compete with famous foreign rivals without state support in the form of increased import duties is a separate issue.
