Liebherr and Kamaz team up

Liebherr and Russian truck manufacturer Kamaz have signed a joint partnership for the development of a range of six-cylinder inline diesel and gas engines.

Intended for Kamaz’s latest series of trucks and buses, as well as for stationary diesel and gas generators, the new 12-litre Kamaz engines will range from 450 to 700 horsepower. Designed for low fuel consumption and emissions, the engines will also feature common rail injection and Liebherr’s engine control units. The company says they will not only comply with the Euro 5 emissions standard, but will also be able to meet the Euro 6 standard in future. It will also be possible to increase the service interval to 150,000 km.

With the engines scheduled to go into series production by the end of 2016, Kamaz is building new production facilities in Naberezhnye Chelny, Russia. Liebherr will provide its technical consulting services for the design and planning of the facilities as well as for the start of production. It will also assist Kamaz in the procurement, installation and commissioning of the production facilities and equipment.
