The KamAZ-44108 truck tractor, modernized by 2010, retained the off-road and operational qualities of its predecessor, but at the same time received new engine and an updated all-metal tilt cab with a more modern design, comfortable anti-slip footrests, improved visibility and new system rear-view mirrors. As before, its cabin is equipped with a high roof, which has received a more aerodynamic profile, and a berth behind the front row of seats.

The length of the wheelbase of the updated KamAZ "44108" is the previous 3690 mm. At the same time, the overall length of the tractor decreased to 7220 mm. This is largely due to the reduction in the front overhang, which now accounts for only 1360 mm. We add that the distance between the axles of the rear bogie, during the modernization, was not affected and it is still 1320 mm. The saddle height of the updated tractor, as before, is 1540 mm with an unladen weight or 1510 mm with a full weight. The overall height has not changed either - 3250 mm. The width of the car excluding mirrors is 2500 mm. Ground clearance at the lowest point - 385 mm.

The curb weight of the modernized tractor increased to 9,275 kg. At the same time, the carrying capacity (load on the fifth wheel coupling) increased much more noticeably - having increased to 12,200 kg. Increased and full mass car, reaching the bar of 21 155 kg. Note that the maximum permissible load on front axle at the same time it is equal to 5 570 kg, and no more than 15 780 kg on the rear cart.

The updated KamAZ 44108 truck tractor is capable of towing a semitrailer with a total weight of 28 650 kg, the total mass of the road train should not exceed 38 000 kg.

As a power plant for this machine, the manufacturer decided to use a modernized V-shaped 8-cylinder diesel unit "740.55-300" with a displacement of 11.76 liters, direct fuel injection and turbocharging with intercooling of charge air. According to the manufacturer, the rated power of this engine is 300 hp, while its maximum net power is 280 hp, developed at 2200 rpm, and the upper limit of torque falls on 1158 Nm, achieved in the range from 1300 rpm to 1500 rpm.
The imported 9-speed "mechanics" ZF 9S1310 with gear ratio main gear 6.53, aggregated with the engine through a single-plate diaphragm clutch with a hydraulic drive. We also note that the "restyled" tractor is equipped with a standard 2-stage mechanical transfer case with pneumatic control and a lockable center differential. The transfer ratio of the transfer case is 1.692 and 0.917 for low and high gears, respectively.

Like the "pre-styling" version, the updated KamAZ-44108 truck tractor received a frame platform, an off-road all-wheel drive chassis with a 6x6 wheel arrangement and interwheel blocking, leaf spring suspensionas well as drum brakes on all wheels. Note that the diameter of the brake drums is 400 mm, the width of the pads used in them does not exceed 140 mm, and the total area of \u200b\u200bthe working surface of the brake linings is 6300 cm².

Maximum speed the movement of the modernized tractor (with a loaded semitrailer) is at least 80 km / h, and its outer overall turning radius does not exceed 11.5 meters.

The average cost of a "restyled" KamAZ "44108" in 2017 is about 2,900,000 rubles.

KamAZ truck tractors are very popular among drivers, since they can be used as a base for working with huge amount semitrailers (flatbed, awning, tank semitrailers, etc.) and work as part of a road train. In addition, the optimum performance of these vehicles is suitable for most consumers. The range of tractors produced by the Kama Automobile Plant is very wide, as is the range of industries in which they are used.

All-terrain tractor vehicles, for example, KamAZ 44108, which are suitable for transportation in difficult road conditions, are in special demand. This may be the need to deliver the cargo to a village or village, which not every truck can drive to, or to a construction site, access roads to which are broken by heavy special equipment. Off-road tractors are also becoming irreplaceable when performing work in the northern regions of the country - they are not afraid of even the most severe weather conditions.

An all-terrain vehicle with excellent off-road performance

Thanks to the 6x6 wheel arrangement, the KamAZ 44108 tractor has increased cross-country ability, which is not surprising. Indeed, when creating this model, an all-terrain vehicle was taken as a base, developed by order and with the active participation of the Ministry of Defense and the Ministry of Emergencies of the Russian Federation. From its predecessor, the new all-wheel drive KamAZ inherited not only excellent cross-country ability, but also high reliability and ease of maintenance. High degree unification with the main units and assemblies of other models produced by the Chelny plant makes it easy to eliminate problems that arise. Finding the necessary spare parts will also not take much time.

KamAZ all-terrain vehicle 44108 is a multi-purpose tractor and perfectly replaces conventional tractors, which are not able to overcome some especially difficult sections of the road. It is successfully operated both by civilian organizations (especially actively by enterprises in the oil and gas and mining industries), as well as by the armed forces (along with its progenitor KamAZ-44118). The vehicle, with appropriate equipment, can be used to transport flammable goods. For this, it is necessary to protect the fuel tank and install flashing lights.

As a rule, truck tractors that are used to transport heavy and large loads have a sufficiently large dead weight, which significantly reduces their cross-country ability. As for this model, with a gross vehicle weight of 19 tons, it can be used to tow semi-trailers with a total weight of up to 23 tons and be operated as part of a road train, the mass of which should not exceed 32 tons. The carrying capacity and cross-country ability of the 10-ton KamAZ 44108 truck tractor are maximally balanced, which is a decisive factor in favor of choosing this model in many cases.

Main characteristics and device of the tractor

A modern tractor should be like this - successfully combine versatile capabilities and optimal specifications... KamAZ 44108 V basic configuration equipped with a Kama engine 740. 30 with a capacity of 260 hp, which complies with the Euro-3 standard. 8-cylinder V-shaped motor has a working volume of 10.85 liters. The manufacturer also offers a truck with a more powerful 9-liter Cummins L325 diesel engine (Euro-3). Its power is 325 hp, maximum torque is 1,200 Nm.

A tractor with a Cummins engine has a number of advantages over similar machines, since it does not have electronic control of the high-pressure fuel pump, and the fuel supply control is fully mechanized. All this makes the vehicle easier to maintain and reduces fuel quality requirements.

Powerful Cummins engine is mated to a licensed nine-speed Fast Gear manual transmission famous company Eaton, and a two-speed transfer case with a lockable center differential. These units provide excellent traction and speed characteristics of the tractor and its high cross-country ability in off-road conditions and when driving uphill. The lifting angle that this tractor can overcome is 28 °. The maximum speed that a laden car can reach reaches 80 km / h. Also, a nine-speed ZF gearbox can be installed on the tractor.

As for cars with a KamAZ engine, they are equipped with a ten-speed KamAZ 154 gearbox and a two-stage transfer case with a lockable center differential. For more information on the scheme and principle of the gearbox operation, refer to the Vehicle Operation and Maintenance Manual. You can also find there detailed wiring diagram KamAZ 44108.

Judging by the responses of the drivers, the fuel consumption of the KamAZ 44108 tractor is about 43.5 liters. It is difficult to call this car economical, but for its class this indicator is acceptable. The truck is equipped with two fuel tanks: the main one is designed for 350 liters, the additional one - for 210 liters.

The brake system is pneumatically driven. High braking efficiency is provided by four autonomous braking systems, which are equipped with modern Kama trucks. Despite the fact that these systems are interconnected and have some common elements, their work does not depend on each other. The service brake system KamAZ 44108 is used to reduce the speed of the vehicle while driving or to stop it completely.

The KamAZ 44108 cab located above the engine is comfortable and is characterized by good conditions labor and rest of drivers. The restyled version with a high roof provides for one berth. The option of a hydraulic lift of the cab greatly simplifies access to vehicle maintenance.

As we already mentioned, the base chassis of this model can be supplemented with a number of add-ons. KamAZ 44108-24 with manipulators of different carrying capacity is very popular. At the same time, the manufacturers of KMU can be completely different - Kanglim, Susan, Unique, Palfinger, Hiab, Inman, Fassi, etc. KamAZ 44108 with a flatbed semitrailer or dump body are also quite in demand.

In addition to good performance characteristics 44108 also has a completely democratic price, which favorably distinguishes it among similar trucks. The cost of new tractors of this model starts from 1.8 - 2.1 million rubles. For cars with installed special equipment, they ask from 3 to 3.5 million rubles and more.
