Kama automobile plant – perhaps the most well-known enterprise in Russia engaged in production of medium - and heavy-duty trucks. These machines are used in every region of Russia – from the South to the far North. KamAZ-reliable truck, able to work in all weather and road conditions. The line of trucks Kama automobile plant is quite extensive. Today we will discuss one of the most popular tractors. This Is A KamAZ-65116. Specifications, photos and features – further in our article.
The Car was produced in several generations. So, to restyling the car had this look like in the photo below.
The cabin Design just exactly repeated tractor 5460 (known as KAMAZ from the movie "Truckers-2”). The car has simple square lines. The cockpit, wings and bumper painted in a single color. In the lower part there are small lights. But according to the reviews, they are very bad light. The main optics is a little higher. In the headlights, used a classic lamp with a filament. They Shine well, but it would be better – say drivers. On the sides of the cab are vertical "gills" which direct the flow of air. Thanks to them, the side of the cab, not so much Mara in dirty weather. Finally, KAMAZ has lost the old, dvuhsotletnego windshield. Now here is a single picture window. But since the cabin is wide enough, had to use three of the wiper. In the upper part of the enclosure are orange marker lights. Cab trucks KAMAZ-65116 low. High is only in the modifications 5460. By the way, more than half of the trucks KAMAZ-65116 painted in orange color. Rarer blue and white shades.

In 2012, the manufacturer has made small changes to the design. So, was refined cabin and the bumper. The cabin is still low, but the roof appeared the sun visor. Vertical "gills" became more compact, and the bumper – angular.
Headlights are now combined structurally with the turn signals. In the lower part can be placed fog lights. They are a little larger than on previous versions. However, they are very low, and drivers often carry them higher. The rest of the exterior of the truck KAMAZ-65116 remained the same. In this way the machine is produced to this day.
What they say about KAMAZ-65116 reviews? The owners noted that despite improvements in design, the cabin was not without its old problems. So, the first trouble – corrosion. It significantly affected the cockpit of both the first and second generations of trucks. Most often, the rust formed in the center of the wheel arches and doors. To keep the metal in its original form, annually to be treated Movil and put lockers. Also, the owners speak negatively about the mounts for the fuel tanks. The brackets are pretty weak, and they have to strengthen themselves. The sheer quality of the painting also leaves something to be desired. Three years later, at the cabin formed the first chips and bugs. If time does not deal with rust, after eight years in these areas formed through corrosion.
This car has wheel formula 6 x 2 and the following dimensions: total length is 6,15 m, width-2,5 m, height-2.9 meters. Despite such large dimensions, the machine has a small turning radius. It is only 10.7 meters. Another advantage of KAMAZ-65116 – ground clearance. The ground clearance on standard 20-inch tires is as much as 29 inches. This allows you to operate the machine in the most severe conditions. No wonder doing at the base of the truck KAMAZ-65116 trucks. These machines are capable to overcome any road, be it wet primer, sand, or snowy terrain.
As stated by the manufacturer, tractor KAMAZ-65116-equipped cabin, superior. However, the reviews prove otherwise. There is no minimal set of devices required for long distance transport. So, the owners themselves have to set:
The Interior is decorated quite austere: a flat front panel with huge buttons, shapeless seat switch and the instrument panel. Remarkably, in this KAMAZ is not the usual floor the accelerator pedal. The gearshift lever is very high. By the way, in the photo you can notice loose braid. This is not a defect – in this form, the yoke comes with from the factory. The owners themselves have to Refine it. The wheel – not as big as usual, which is very pleasing. But the range of adjustments is limited. The cab suspension and all shocks from the suspension coming from interior. What is nice is the good visibility due to the captain's landing. The car uses six mirrors, mounted around the perimeter of the cabin.The presence of dead zones is minimized. Climbing into the cockpit fairly easily thanks to a metal railing and a few steps. There are sun visors. The oven heats well, so in winter the cabin is not freezing.
Unfortunately, all the advantages come to an end. Space in the cockpit for a few. The air intake starts “harden” and to publish unpleasant hum. In addition, the noticeable vibration felt from the motor. To get rid of them, at least partially, the owners are established under the body of the third pair of pillows. You can hear the noise in all modes of his work – it's a disease of all Trucks.
As of the power plant on the tractor first generation used turbocharged diesel V-shaped Assembly of eight cylinders. The working volume of this engine is of 11.75 liters. The engine meets environmental standards Euro-2. Manufacturer KAMAZ used in this motor system the direct fuel injection and intercooling of the air. This gave the opportunity to increase power to 280 horsepower. Torque is 1177 Nm. Shelf available in a range of from 1.3 to 1.6 thousand revs. As for the transmission, it is also the development of the Kama automobile plant. This is a five-speed transmission model 154. It is equipped with a divider, whereby each transmission is divided into two. Thus, the total number of gears is 10.
A few years Later after the release of the KAMAZ-65116 in the line there is a new nine-transmission. This time its manufacturer was the German firm ZF. As applied to a diaphragm clutch disc, hydraulic and pneumatic.
The Producer realized that the engine has a lot of flaws, so in 2012 he replaced the old engine KAMAZ-65116 Chinese "Cummins". The power unit was marked 6 ISBe 300 and complies with Euro-4. Unlike the first a “Kamminga” a total of six cylinders, and they are all arranged in a row. This engine delivers 282 horsepower. Torque – 1082 Nm at one and a half thousand revs. In the design of the improved cooling system. If previous motor was used a viscous coupling to drive the fan, on “Immense” applied to the electric system. The motor is supplied with a turbine and intercooler, which cools the air supplied to the intake manifold. However, the owner reviews say that the design of the air cooler has flaws. So, they had to increase the flow area. To do this, cut out the honeycomb and vparivali pipe in the design.
What is the truck KAMAZ-65116 capacity? Permissible load on the fifth node is 15 tons. Thus the gross vehicle weight does not exceed 850 kilograms of 22. The load on the front axle is 5 tons, and on the back two – of 17.85. The manufacturer claims that the truck tractor KAMAZ is able to tow a semi-trailer with full weight up to 30 tons. However, as practice shows, the car often travels with overloads. Of course, this affects the fuel consumption.
How much to spend this truck on 100 kilometers? According to the passport data, without a load, the machine consumes 22 litres per hundred. But in practice, these figures are quite different. After all, this car is constantly running under load.
So, in the summer the car consumes 38 to 40 liters of diesel along with Laden semi-trailer. In the winter, this figure rises another three to five liters. By the way, Chinese "Cummins" more economical. On average, it spends 3-5 percent less fuel than the KAMAZ engine.
The Car has a frame structure with a spring suspension. Is the front pivot beam, rear – the bridges on the rocker. The car is beefed up axle and mikolasko lock.
Braking is through drum 40-inch mechanisms. The suspension on the car is quite hard – the reviews say. However, after downloading the smoothness a bit increased.
During the restyling of the truck tractor KAMAZ got a reinforced frame that can withstand firmly overloads. The frame consists of two side members reinforced by cross members. Also increased the thickness of the outer and inner linings. Some modifications can be used air suspension. However, the front still uses a spring pivot beam. Also among the improvements include the availability of the stabilizer bar. Thanks to him the car was less roll in the turns.
Cars released prior to 2012, had the same level of equipment. So, the package included:
After the improvements of the newKamAZ received:
However, the tank capacity was reduced to 350 liters. From the list of deleted fog lights. They are available only as options. For a fee the car is equipped with such options:
So, we found out that a KAMAZ-65116. The car has excellent off-road capability and high ground clearance. Due to this, it can be used in any terrain and roads without asphalt cover. However, as a backbone of the truck it will not fit. The cabin is not suited for riding long distances, suspension machines are quite tough and very high consumption due to poor aerodynamics. Among the main advantages of this car it is possible to allocate low cost of maintenance and maintainability and availability of spare parts. At this pluses end. How would the manufacturer nor modified the cabin, the comfort level remained at the level of foreign cars from the 80's.
