The consequences of the special military operation in terms of industrial production are beginning to show. This material concerns the production of such products necessary for the economy and the army as trucks.

Unhealthy start


I must say that the problems here began long before February 24. Since the end of last summer, there has been a shortage of trucks in the Russian Federation, which in turn led to a serious increase in prices for them.



There is only one example of how the price has changed - the Ural 63704 tractor (pictured) has risen in price by 2021 million rubles over the summer of 1 - from 6,3 to 7,3 million rubles. retail average.

This difference in price, of course, fell on the cost of transport services, and it was disproportionately heavy - the vast majority of trucks in the Russian Federation are not bought, but are leased, and there is an overpayment in leasing, which, of course, also fell on the cost.

The reasons were, firstly, the destruction of supply chains of components due to the COVID-19 pandemic, secondly, dollar inflation, which spurred the prices of everything that contains imported components or imported borrowed money, thirdly, some strange problems with the supply of Chinese trucks to the country, which, exactly at the time of the formation of our deficit, began to arrive in the Russian Federation with delivery dates in months, instead of being in stock, and also became a shortage (a strange coincidence, by the way), and fourthly, spring a price rally for the metal associated either with the same dollar inflation, or with a global cartel of ferroalloy suppliers, or with both taken together - depending on who you ask.

The last straw was the sanctions against Belarus with its MAZ, which also affected the delivery time. All these facts are absolutely unknown to the layman, but in terms of the economy and the average check in Pyaterochka, they hit and hit.

By February 24, 2022, the domestic truck market approached in a very unhealthy state - a deficit in many positions, although not the same as in 2021, a price race and generally very high prices, the growth of which very seriously, at times, overtook ruble inflation by more than half a year in a row.

But in general, it was possible to live - the delivery time for the entire range was reduced, there were signs that the shortage would not go beyond the reasonable and would gradually decrease (and it was reduced by many positions), in addition, all these processes did not affect to any extent such an important aspect as the production of vehicles for the armed forces - the army continued to receive those vehicles that it ordered in the right quantities.

And then Russian troops launched a special operation in Ukraine.

sanctions strike


Almost immediately, without waiting for a political reaction from their national governments, foreign companies began to leave the Russian market.

In the case of the automotive industry, the critical exit from the Daimler Trucks market. This made it impossible to continue the production of a line of KAMAZ vehicles manufactured using components from the German concern. We are mainly talking about models 5490 and 65206 in different versions. It also became impossible to produce “Mercedes-shaped” dump trucks, which, despite their high price, were steadily gaining popularity. The refusal of the Germans to supply components covered all these undertakings, the production of machines turned out to be impossible.


Kamaz 5490, now everything will be very unclear with these machines

KAMAZ itself makes loud promises about his newest line, and apparently his management believes in them themselves, but this is not a quick business anyway. But that was half the battle.

There is reason to believe that ZF is about to leave Russia. This company is a global supplier of gearboxes, and it cooperated with KAMAZ in this capacity. Gearboxes from Tsanradfabrik are produced in many countries, even, for example, in Iran. But everywhere the company adheres to the rule - no full localization. Typically, gearboxes are localized by 80%, and the rest of the components are imported.

Here this German material indicatesthat, on the one hand, ZF requires the use of its checkpoints only on non-military equipment, and on the other hand, that this checkpoint is used on equipment captured by Ukrainians, and on a large scale.

Neither KAMAZ nor ZF announced the termination of cooperation, but judging by the fact that KAMAZ was included in the latest sanctions list, and German checkpoints on Russian military equipment were in the German press, this issue should be considered resolved. And this is going to be a huge problem.

For light-class vehicles with a chassis load capacity of up to 17 tons, KAMAZ puts not only the nine-speed ZF9S, but also its own 10-speed 154 gearboxes. If KAMAZ had a chance to keep the build quality high, it would be a good "box". For the army and export markets, the “ten-step” of the previous generation “152” is still being produced. It is possible to produce a five-speed "144".

But on heavy vehicles, with a payload of 20 tons or more, only the 16-speed ZF16 is installed. This checkpoint is installed on road dump trucks 6520 with a carrying capacity of 20 tons and on 25-ton 65201, it also helps to move all heavy all-wheel drive KAMAZ trucks, thereby doing the lion's share of transport work in our North.

There is no alternative - its own "big" gearbox "161" has long been discontinued, and there are irreplaceable imported components from the same ZF (like synchronizers). And this meant that domestic trucks with the above load capacity should cease to be produced.

Which, in turn, raises questions from civilian users like “where can I get an all-terrain tractor for a heavy-duty semi-trailer?” - they don’t make new ones, and due to the withdrawal of Western truck manufacturers from the market, they hardly bring them to the country. MAZ and the Chinese will not saturate the market. And without heavy tractors in the north, sooner or later, the oil industry will stop.

But the army will receive the main blow from, apparently, the departure of ZF - chassis 63501 for a mass of military special equipment, was left without a gearbox, without it, the heavy eight-wheeled chassis 6560 was left, on which they put the Pantsir air defense system, and these vehicles will also not be produced yet, and most importantly, the army was left without a 65225 tank carrier, since it is also equipped with a ZF gearbox.

Against this background, the presence in the machines of a mass of imported components is “simpler” and the simultaneous doubling of the cost of both the dollar and the yuan against the ruble already passes under the heading “other problems”, but these other problems cannot be ignored either. The mass of parts of the brake system, all fuel equipment, part of the electrical equipment of KAMAZ trucks are imported. And over the last 4 days of February, their price has increased. The cost of foreign loans also soared, and working with banks outside the Russian Federation became very complicated.

Some jingoistic patriot would have guffawed that, they say, there are no problems, there will be other suppliers or we will do it ourselves. The reality, however, is different - since April, KAMAZ has stopped accepting applications for the production of vehicles of the current model range, these vehicles are being discontinued. Instead of modern light class vehicles with a carrying capacity of up to 17 tons, KAMAZ launches their analogues, which were on the assembly line in the late nineties - the first half of the XNUMXs, in a series. With a corresponding deterioration in performance.

As for heavy vehicles and tractors with Mercedes-Benz units, they are simply taken out of production, without replacement. It’s just that for some time, apparently, the remains of civilian vehicles of the modern model range will still roll off the assembly line in April, but rarities will go from May.

It is possible that equipment for the army will be made for some time on old stocks, but this will not last long either. The same goes for models that had no other engine than Cummins, such as the small 4308.

They won't either. But the country would easily survive this, unlike dump trucks and "Shells".

Time machines


Ahead of us is a certain form of surrealism in reality - as if the VAZ-2107 was put into production again. Old motors without electronics with a capacity of 240 and 260 hp. s., iron cabins without a plastic body kit, the same instrument panels ... Of course, KAMAZ may not produce the same configurations of old models that were 15-20 years ago, and slightly modernized versions of them, such as export models adapted for Russia for African markets. However, the effect will be noticeable. For example, it was - chassis 65115.

It became - chassis 53229.

But, of course, this “change” is worse: it was a dump truck 6520.

What are the consequences for the economy such a primitivization of the model range entails? Well, for example, the fact that in order to transport 45 tons of bulk cargo on a dump truck, it will be necessary to make not two trips to 65201, but three to 65115, which also has a significantly smaller resource. Plus ecology, plus higher fuel consumption in older engines.

This is a very strong blow to our already African labor productivity and the economic efficiency of the transport sector. It has already been said about the consequences for the army - a lot of special vehicles, tractors for transporting armored vehicles and chassis for the "Pantsir" will not be produced. For a complete understanding of the issue, here is a list of models that KAMAZ leaves in production.

53215 "Euro-2" (6x4, load capacity 12 tons),
53229 "Euro-2" (6x4, load capacity 17 tons),
43118 "Euro-2" (6x6, load capacity 12 tons),
43253 "Euro-2" (4x2, load capacity 8 tons),
4326 "Euro-2" (4x4, load capacity 5 tons),
53605 "Euro-2" (4x2, load capacity 13 tons) and vehicles based on them. As well as

truck tractor 65116 "Euro-2" (6x4, saddle load 15 tons),
dump truck 65115 "Euro-2" (6x4, load capacity 15 tons),
onboard 65117 "Euro-2" (6x4, load capacity 14 tons).

Everything. For those who do not understand, search engines can easily find both photos and technical characteristics of any of these cars.

Why did KAMAZ do just that? After all, at first glance, everything is solved simply. No ZF-16 gearbox? We put the Chinese Fast Gear 16JS, the quality is the same, the parameters are the same, it fits the engine normally according to the “bell”, the SAE standard is the same for everyone.

There is no way to install BOSCH fuel equipment? There is AZPI, and it was this equipment that saved KAMAZ at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, when imports turned out to be impossible.

But the auto industry doesn't work that way. The produced machine must have a complete set of documentation, on the basis of which it is produced. If this kit is not available, then it means that the imaginary model-alteration cannot be put into production. A set of documentation must first be developed. This time.

You can switch to the specifications for the old chassis simply by order, and the production, which has all the documentation and stocks of spare parts for "African" and military vehicles, will be able to quickly reorganize. On an imaginary model from another checkpoint - no.

In this regard, the decision of KAMAZ may not be critical for the economy - if there is a quick return to "normality". If the plant decides to take its time and stick with the old lineup while trying to launch its ultra-modern 54901 with the new KAMAZ in-line engine, then this will hurt the economy, and possibly defense capability.

Such a decision is quite possible, since the domestic manufacturer will have almost no competitors on the market, MAZ, if only, but it has its own niche. And there were precedents in the world - for example, in the photo below, a truck manufactured by Iran Khodro Diesel from Iran, squeezed by sanctions, this car is still being produced.

And here it is necessary to voice two possible ways out of the production impasse, each of which is technically feasible, only one is fast, easy and not very useful for the country, which will continue to live like a besieged fortress, and the second is complex and problematic, but much more correct from the point of view of the country's long-term interests.

Before moving on to consider both options, we need to take a look at KAMAZ's competitor, UralAZ, and its engine supplier, Yaroslavl Motor Plant, YaMZ.

Ural


UralAZ has not yet done anything similar to KAMAZ, but no deadlines are given for those positions that could fall under Western sanctions. That is, you can order a tractor with a ZF gearbox (“Urals” of a number of models come with them), but no one names the dates when the car will be shipped. In fact, they can be very long. But for now, modern in-line diesel engines YaMZ - 536 and 653 are being produced. Iveco cabs for the cabover series are manufactured in Miass, Next cabs, common to all cars of the GAZ group (the hood is different), are also still available.

So far, in addition to the ambiguity with machines that have a German gearbox, some unpredictability has appeared about what can be obtained at the factory and what is not. But in general, production is underway, cars are being handed over, if everything goes on as it goes on, then there will simply be unstable deliveries of those models that are equipped with the Yaroslavl checkpoints YaMZ-236 and YaMZ-1105. But the prospects for light class cars with a ZF gearbox and the entire heavy class (there is no replacement for the German gearbox yet) are very vague.

You can, of course, hope that ZF will continue to supply checkpoints to URALAZ - the money doesn’t seem to smell, but there was no talk of Urals in the EU, and military Urals are not used from this checkpoint in Ukraine. They talked only about KAMAZ trucks.
But you should not hope for this, and problems with ordering cars confirm this.

For some time, there may be problems with BOSCH fuel equipment, which YaMZ engines are equipped with today - up to the loss of the ability to use it in principle. In this case, YaMZ will have to look for a way out, and apparently, it will be AZPI.

Another problem will affect the road line of UralAZ - non-wheel drive "Urals" 6x4. It cannot be said that these cars were very popular, but now, in the conditions of the withdrawal of foreign manufacturers from the domestic market, there will be a shortage of cars for some time, which will have to be filled.

However, in addition to fuel equipment, parts of the brake system and the RBL steering mechanism, road Urals have a very large and expensive imported unit - Chinese-made drive axles. The same ones that recently began to be installed on their "Mercedes-like" KAMAZ vehicles.

There are no problems with obtaining these bridges - China will supply as many as needed, but, as in the case of Chinese trucks, the ruble exchange rate becomes a problem - it has fallen since February, and the bridges, accordingly, have seriously risen in price.

The plant is working on expanding its production of bridges, and it was funded by the government, but even before the start of the operation in Ukraine, the first bridges were expected in 2023, now, apparently, they will be later.

It is also impossible not to note that if YaMZ switches to AZPI products, and then KAMAZ also returns to Euro-5, then AZPI may not be able to pull out. It must be borne in mind that its power is not infinite.

MAZ


Finally - Belarusian brothers. In conditions of unclear prospects for KAMAZ and UralAZ, and Westerners who left the market, they become monopolists in several classes, albeit not for long. For example, China has all-wheel drive dump trucks in general, but they don’t have single-wheel tires and 16.00R20 tires. And in the north, this is often what you need.


MAZ 6502N9 is the most glamorous MAZ all-terrain dump truck

Previously, they were made by MAZ, KAMAZ and Ural, the last one from this list was the best, MAZ had the worst proposals in terms of the sum of qualities. But now it doesn't matter. As soon as the available warehouse balances and production reserves run out, there will be no alternative to MAZ.

And, by the way, the sanctions that Belarus fell under do not interfere with the production of MAZs of any configuration, they simply complicate the financial part of the issue. But not technological. Motors "Mercedes" except that they will not be now, but this, in fact, is a trifle.

Well, now - the actual solutions.

"Return to normal" or a step forward?


There are two ways to solve the problems that have arisen and to prevent a “rollback to the past”. One of them is faster, easier and cheaper in the short term. The second one is more difficult, more expensive in the short term, will require greater organizational efforts from manufacturers and state intervention in the process. But more correct.

Let's briefly review both options.

"Back to normal". This is simply a matter of switching suppliers in collapsed supply chains.

Roughly speaking, instead of the ZF gearbox, the Chinese Fast Gear gearbox comes, either to KAMAZ or to Ural, then YaMZ updates the design of its engines, changing the fuel equipment to AZPI, some of the KAMAZ engines, however, continue to come out in the variant until AZPI will not be able to fully compensate for the dropped out BOSCH. Then everyone returns to Euro-5.

Instead of currently unavailable Cummins engines, KAMAZ can find a supplier in China, after all, it already has a partnership with the Chinese concern Weichai, the largest manufacturer of diesel engines in the world. Some of the Chinese engines can replace Cummins engines on the smallest KAMAZ trucks.

Only the need to sort things out can get in the way. relations with Americans from Federal Mogul, with which KAMAZ has a joint production of piston group parts for its modern V-shaped eights. On old machines, they have a working volume of 10,85 liters, on the current ones, which will temporarily go “into the shadows” - 11,86 liters and not quite domestic piston. But here the permission to ignore other people's patents can help, and it will have to be used. However, the media has not yet reported any problems with this partner.

UralAZ is still simpler: replacing BOSCH with AZPI in Yaroslavl, instead of the nine-speed ZF gearbox, modification of its 9-speed YaMZ-239 gearbox, instead of the 16-speed ZF - the same Chinese gearbox as the future heavy KAMAZ trucks. Chinese bridges will just buy expensive until they start making their own. And that's it, the issue is closed, it takes several months to develop new modifications and put them into production. By the end of the year, the lineup will return to normal, minus the change of main suppliers.

Everything, the matter is closed, everyone returned to "business as usual." But is it right?

Step forward.

There is an alternative that is more difficult, but more correct. Self-reliance. True, the state cannot be dispensed with here. Let us briefly list what KAMAZ needs:

- restarting their Euro-5 engines (meaning the 740th series), with a working volume of 11,86 liters and modern fuel equipment. What is needed for this? Yes, by and large, nothing, such engines are already mass-produced, just not all components are available. What are the big issues that need to be addressed? Yes, three - the required number of sets of AZPI fuel equipment, somehow settle issues with Federal Mogul (if they exist at all), start buying various small things somewhere else;

– Gearbox to replace ZF-16. The correct option would be to purchase 16JS as a palliative, while simultaneously restarting the production of a 14-speed gearbox in Tutaev, at the Tutaev Motor Plant. Once it was known as the YaMZ-330, and its modification may well replace the ZF16 and the Chinese gearbox too. At the same time, you need to return to the checkpoint "161" and slowly bring it to mass production, and without imported components, since the presence of a 14-speed gearbox will allow you to take your time.

And now the most important thing is that the government, which has limited ability to influence KAMAZ through Rostec, must force PJSC KAMAZ and the GAZ group to cooperate. What for? Well, for example, because if the launch of a 14-speed gearbox in Tutaev or the 161st gearbox in Chelny turns out to be impossible within a reasonable time, then the production of a nine-speed gearbox capable of transmitting the torque of any of the KAMAZ engines is quite established in Yaroslavl, minimal modifications are needed for "merging" the Yaroslavl checkpoints with KAMAZ. Yes, from a technical point of view, the solution is so-so, but it allows you to restart the production of heavy machines very quickly.

And YaMZ also has an alternative to Chinese-American diesel engines - more or less modern in-line six-cylinder engines that completely cover all the needs of KAMAZ that it can only have. Of course, KAMAZ, which has its own Euro-5 engines with a capacity of 260 to 420 hp. from. and bringing to the market an even more powerful in-line “six” for mainline tractors, it is unlikely to purchase the entire line of engines from YaMZ, but it is more than possible to replace Cummins on light two-axle vehicles 4308, 43253, 43255 with the Yaroslavl 536th series, this is a complete analogue and according to power, and in terms of weight and dimensions, and in terms of working volume, but KAMAZ does not have its own such engine.


Engine of the 536th family. Complete replacement for Cummins ISBe6.7

As it appears, it will be another conversation, but for now it would be nice if the money went not to China, but to Yaroslavl. The KAMAZ 5-speed "144" or some version of the YaMZ-1105 adapted to another car can be used as a gearbox for these cars.

There is also a reverse option - KAMAZ has drive axles for road vehicles, both for two-axle and three-axle (twin bogies). And here it is already logical to persuade UralAZ to use KAMAZ axles in their models, until it is possible to launch a new production of drive axles, which is currently being worked on.

Moreover, if KAMAZ manages to put into production a 14-speed gearbox in Tutaev or a 161st gearbox in Chelny within a reasonable time, then these gearboxes can already get on the Ural, replacing both real ZF and virtual Chinese gearboxes. .

The disadvantage of this whole scheme is that the iron will of the state is needed, which will have to achieve effective cooperation between competitors, since they themselves will not do this.

Pros.

Firstly, the fact that in the conditions of the most severe economic sanctions, the Russian Federation will not fall into additional dependence on a foreign supplier, which also has to be paid in foreign currency.

Secondly, the fact that the country will develop its production of auto units, and from this one step to their export independent of cars - to the same MAZ, which now puts on its cars both German, and Chinese, and ours (YaMZ-239) transmissions, however, are ours only for a few models and not much. Own production will make it possible to turn the tide and increase the export of the same gearboxes, and other units.

And there, you see, you can enter some other markets - there are decades of industrialization of Africa ahead, including the creation of your own car industry there, and it would be quite nice to show up there instead of Eaton and the like.

Let's summarize. In a few months, both KAMAZ and URALAZ may well close their weaknesses with subcontractors and resume the production of normal vehicles again in the case of KAMAZ and the entire Ural model range, including both heavy-duty vehicles and road cars. This also applies to military vehicles. The most important fact here is that it is possible to get out of this crisis with the help of real import substitution, giving impetus to the development of our own industry.

At the same time, KAMAZ has such an option as the production of modern models, but with engines without electronics. It is also possible to develop documentation for the production of such machines very quickly, and they also do not need to develop new units, everything is there. This move may well neutralize any difficulties with the expansion of production at AZPI, which will need to supply the entire country with fuel equipment, and will allow not to reduce the production of trucks while the Altai plant is increasing the production of its products. For engines without electronics, fuel equipment is made by YAZDA, and the problems of AZPI in this regard will be indifferent to KAMAZ.

Yes, and UralAZ has such an option with its V-shaped six. If something happens, it is quite possible to put YaMZ-236NE Euro-2 on the old bonneted Urals with an iron cabin, at least also as a half measure.

And when they start doing everything in the right quantities in Altai, go back to Euro-5.

In general, the fact that the production of trucks in Russia has found itself in the most severe crisis since the fire at the KAMAZ engine plant (not so bad, of course) is a fact. The fact that these problems are not only solvable, but also can make the auto industry less dependent on imports and more developed is also a fact.

And this must be done in the shortest possible time. We need to stop relying on foreign countries, especially where we can do everything ourselves.

    In general, all this is true, but since it is unlikely that we will respect their intellectual property, therefore, we can quite repeat their devices, use their technical solutions all the more. As they say, we use the experience of China, we will launch a photocopier of what is needed but not developed.

            Yes, there is nothing like that, but there is a big BUT, I have a DAF euro 3, which means there is no urea, it eats almost any diesel fuel with an acceptable consumption, and repairs can be done almost everywhere.
            And there are all sorts of smart fuel tanks with euro 5 or 6 that need to be poured with urea, the repair costs like an average small car, and you can just find normal craftsmen who can repair this horseradish fuel, there is no diesel fuel of this quality in Russia for mother (do not believe any inscriptions, on the fence too they write different things, but there is firewood).

Who prevents us from supplying what is in demand to the domestic market, but we cannot do without foreign cargo transportation, and there is a high probability that the requirements will only increase after that. It was already with planes, according to the noise level, it was forbidden to land at their airports. What have we done? Purchased and rented Boeings and Airbuses. What's wrong with them now?

          Absolutely agree. I will add. EURO 3,4,5 drive internal combustion engines, especially diesel, into very tough, almost impossible limits, invented by the green, but by no means engineers. Real toxicity standards are at the level of EURO2 or 3. And, there, battery injection is optional, mechanical one will also cope, with high-quality fuel equipment. Take a look at the EURO3 era Scania

            I agree, but only partly. Diesel EURO 5 at min. mileage already does not correspond to this EURO, which has been repeatedly proven by experts when measuring toxicity, again, fuel consumption, all other things being equal, is higher (there is no forced cold storage, because the catalyst or particulate filter must be kept warm), hence the SW. operating fuel consumption - even if the toxicity standard is met, then the volume of exhaust gases is leveled. With EURO 5, the volume of gases began to be regulated - at the output of hybrids, then it was also tightened at the level of manufacturers - an increase in the share of electric vehicles.

              It turns out a vicious circle. More precisely, a movement to a dead end. EURO 3 is the practical maximum. Perhaps, due to Battery injection, it is achievable with reservations and EURO4, but no more. Look at the torque shelf of today's diesels - it's Common rail. The injection is divided into 5-7 innings, delicately calculating the lead, the boost pressure is constant, etc. throughout the entire range. However, where earlier x.x. was 600-650 rpm, now 850-950, with max. decreased from 2100-2300 to 1900 rpm. And this is all coupled with a decrease in the slave. range requires 16-speed transmissions, driving the operation mode into stationary (almost).

      The Russian economy is first and foremost the legacy of the Stalinist economy, which strove for autarky and to a large extent achieved it. Even small North Korea, Iran, and (in the past) South Africa have done a fine job of dealing with sanctions. So it’s a sin for Russia to complain, you just need to develop national production.
      “You have to understand that before the war we imported a lot of valuable equipment from abroad. Many factories were built on American and other equipment, for example, all tractor, automobile, aviation plants, UZTM, NKZM and others, and now the Americans do not give us equipment "We must organize the production of such equipment ourselves. This is a difficult task, but in two years we will learn how to do it and will be completely independent from abroad. In two years we will thank the Americans for not giving us equipment and for teaching us how to make new equipment" - fragment of Stalin's speech. As you can see, nothing is new under the sun.

        Not at all easy - with the current financial and economic situation, which they are not going to change (which was confirmed by the submission of Nabibullina's candidacy for a new term, yes).
        To drag Stalin into the current situation is generally beyond the bounds: where is Stalin, and where are the current rulers? And where would the current rulers be under Stalin? However, it seems that under Stalin they would just raise the country's economy - they felled the forest with a jigsaw or something like that. All the same, they are not focused on more constructive activities.

    There have been fights here for a long time '"wall to wall"! Some said that the West will sell EVERYTHING to us, the question is the price, and there is no need to strain, I bought their craft and installed it. that the West is no help to us, and the Chinese will sharply raise prices for the necessary products, even if they are of nasty quality. YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO DO YOUR OWN! Do not destroy production in the country, for the sake of "partner friends", but invest in new developments, technologies, new jobs! How strong is the West for you? Now you need to invest trillions, speed up development, use Ukrainian production, among other things, and create jobs there, but solve problems with imported components. Launch in deed, not in words, the notorious import substitution. There is simply no other way for us! And, the conclusions should be drawn that Russia has only one resource - its population. That you need to rely only on yourself. No friends exist, it's fiction. It will be hard, but this is an inevitable price to pay for blind faith in "friends-partners"! I would like to believe that at least here the Kremlin will definitely draw conclusions and begin to act in practice, without "faith in partners."

For example, create a platform for supply and demand for spare parts and assemblies for cars. And if someone has the necessary machine park and equipment, let him enter into cooperation. This is how the Japanese industry works.

    In the case of the automotive industry, the withdrawal of Daimler Trucks from the market was critical. This made it impossible to continue the production of a line of KAMAZ vehicles manufactured using components from the German concern.

    Russia is in the circle of enemies and can only rely on itself in the event of a critical situation, like the USSR once did. Despite Putin's calls for import substitution, no one was in any particular hurry. But the situation has changed dramatically and business will have to deal with it, willy-nilly, if it wants to survive.

    I was especially touched by the plastic body kits for trucks, the men in the garages pour for cars, and the auto giant spreads little hands. And of course GLORY to Elmira 20%! Apparently this woman, along with Siluyanov, thought and immortals for each specific manufacturer of studs, bearings, tubes, etc. will hold meetings at an individual reduced interest rate? Can you imagine what a jump in corruption will be?
    Yes, they’ve been great for twenty years preparing gas lanes through pipes to the west, inflating them from pressure, processors on the PC were burning, recoding and pumping ones and zeros of trillions of gold reserves of the Russian Federation in the same direction, and we cannot produce KorPer, although we produce nuclear submarines, fighters, etc. etc. Probably the military-political leadership of the Russian Federation, distrusting the liberal-Western economic leadership of the Russian Federation, hid from them their intentions to create a multipolar world, get up from their knees, de-dolorize the economy, etc. and conducted work on the defense industry in deep secrecy. The question is why it was hidden, and not replaced or forced to act in the interests of Russia. Yes, a question of questions. Maybe it’s really time for the leader to convene the State Defense Committee, with broad powers to manage and the Central Bank, economic and power blocs, etc. with clearly defined, and accordingly voiced publicly, goals and objectives. But, most importantly, it should be smart, professional and clean people who did not have and, most importantly, do not accept corrupt interests. Are there such people rather yes than no. Is it possible? Yes. But the will of a particular person is needed.

        That's right, only in the USSR they knew how to make trucks and in sufficient quantities and did not whine that there was no "this, that, fifth, tenth" and that's it. And civil aviation had its own. Stop spitting in the USSR. The USSR was on the world map for 68 years, the Russian Federation for 32 years, and if we compare who has achieved what, it will clearly not be in favor of the Russian Federation.

            You are poorly informed, you were shooting. Yes, such a ruling bydloelita was formed in our country by the end of the 80s, and such is the level of mutual trust between the people and these elites, i.e. they had, what they had, that from among them, these very elites, no one, relying on the result of the all-Union referendum on the USSR, 76,4% of those who voted for its preservation, did not find the courage to prevent its collapse. the elite despised their people and did not trust them, because they no longer lived only in dreams of Chinese sneakers, but the people hated this elite and did not trust it either. And those of the elites who could do this did not have the necessary authority, power, level of organization, etc. Or maybe you believe that the Bandera Maidan in Koklandia for 14 years is an impulse of the masses and it was not necessary to have organizations, power over the masses and their leaders were directly torn out of the people? Regarding the shooting of three pigs, but something gives up and, as I remember, the president of the country, a certain Gorbachev, was not able to do this, because. most likely was in the same deck with this caudle.
            The collapse of the USSR is a tragedy of its people and the most disgusting page of our elites, where they behaved below the plinth in a provincial pigsty. That is why now the support of Putin from the people is so high, he did not merge and merge the country as the Soviet party nomenklatura did. Although the current elite has not grown to the level of the national one, and you will not hear much good words about it from ordinary people.
            In custody. Being forced to repeat childish insults with sneakers and half-eaten butter is not a reason to shit on the historical past of your country, well, if it is such for you at all. If you want to continue the memories of what you didn’t eat up and didn’t wipe, if you please, without me, I’m not interested, the smell of someone else’s from you.

        The nee tractor was New Holland. A line of tractors with engines of 260, 335, 375, 425 hp was produced. Then the US anti-monopolists forced New Holland to sell the plant to protect the market from monopolists. The tractor changed its name to Buhler Versatile and reduced the line - 2335, 2375 and 2425. Then 2425 was removed from this line. The CUMMINS N14 engine still runs on trucks without problems. On a tractor, the mode of operation is more intense, and the engine could not withstand such mockery. Remained tractors with CUMMINS QSM11. In this form, grandfather Buhler sold the plant to RSM. But in the Russian Federation they managed to bring in a decent bunch of model 2425 before that. And then problems began with spare parts - the tractor and automobile versions are different ... And as a result, the idea of ​​​​remoting tractors arose. Two solutions appeared: CUMMINS QSM11 or TMZ-8481 in 420 hp.
        As practice has shown, QSM11 takes root better ....

KAMAZ checkpoint 161 will not launch technical equipment and equipment for scrap long ago, the same can be said about checkpoint TMZ 14.180 for example. At the moment, TMZ can produce the ancient YaMZ-2381 (-300) (input moment 1275N * m). The YaMZ-202 box was sent to Minsk a long time ago (the issue was mastered by the MZKT), which is now not in the know with it.
    So stop "yelling right away" and run to Fast Gear (which is licensed by Eaton-Fuller). All power characteristics of any V8 (except TMZ-880) are closed by YaMZ,

    We go further. Who and why decided that there would be no KAMAZ-6520 car. I remind you that the engines for the 6520/6350 KamAZ-740.50/52 were available without any electronics back in the mid-90s (they were simply not mass-produced), in addition, put on army cars engines Euro-5 utter nonsense! E-2 engines were installed on 6520 until 2009 !!!!
    Bridges 6520 are on 65225, 6560 - NO problems.
    Here it remains only to agree with KAMAZ with YaMZ, or at the extreme with MAZ on the supply of manual transmissions.
    The issue is closed and I see no reason to panic. And why not breed it like cretins did with sugar, shot themselves in the foot and gave the manufacturer and traders the opportunity to raise prices (I hope the relevant FAS services, the prosecutor's office will work quickly).
    PS

                        Not much, for I have no intention of lecturing the deniers:
                        Using a Versa 3D electron microscope, it was possible to visually observe and compare the deformation zones under the machined surface at various cutting speeds during turning.
                        As a result of visual analysis of images (Figures 2-4) of the deformation zones of steel 14X17H2 under the machined surface at various cutting speeds during turning, the following conclusions can be drawn.

                        First. For these processing modes (t = 1 mm, S = 0,11 mm/rev) and three values ​​of cutting speed, different depths of the deformation zone are visible. At a cutting speed of 10 m/min (Fig. 2) it is 4,22 µm, at a cutting speed of 30 m/min () its value is 2,741 µm, at a cutting speed of 40 m/min - 3,186 µm (Fig. 4).

                        Second. The values ​​of the depth of the deformation zone of steel under the machined surface, measured in the same section, repeat the nature of the change in the value of the surface roughness of the part (see "How the cutting speed of a lathe affects the surface roughness of the part", Fig. 2.) on the cutting speed.
                        In turn, the depth of the deformation zone under the machined surface at different cutting speeds is a consequence of the impact of different levels of normal and shear stresses.

      1800 is enough. And the article says about it, you just need to read to the end and not jump at the first unpleasant moment

      From the article:

      And now the most important thing is that the government, which is limitedly able to influence KAMAZ through Rostec, must force PJSC KAMAZ and the GAZ group to cooperate. What for? Well, for example, then, if the launch of a 14-speed gearbox in Tutaev or the 161st gearbox in Chelny turns out to be impossible within a reasonable time, then the production of a nine-speed gearbox, capable of transmitting the torque of any of the KAMAZ engines, is quite established in Yaroslavl, minimal modifications are needed to “splice” the Yaroslavl gearboxes with KAMAZ. Yes, from a technical point of view, the solution is so-so, but it allows you to restart the production of heavy machines very quickly..


      It is seen?

      KAMAZ checkpoint 161 will not launch technical equipment and equipment for scrap long ago, the same can be said about checkpoint TMZ 14.180 for example.


      There is documentation, samples can be found, so you can try to restart. It’s just that this time, but you can temporarily block YaMZ-239, which is written in the article.

      So stop "yelling right away" and run to Fast Gear (which is licensed by Eaton-Fuller). All power characteristics of any V8 (except TMZ-880) are closed by YaMZ,


      Stop hitting the buttons before the brain mastered what was read

      We go further. Who and why decided that there would be no KAMAZ-6520 car.


      KAMAZ decided. Do you have connections at KAMAZ? Call and find out about ordering new 6520 from 01.04.2022/XNUMX/XNUMX

      I remind you that engines for 6520/6350 KamAZ-740.50/52 were available without any electronics back in the mid-90s (they were simply not mass-produced)


      Need 740.35

      besides, putting Euro-5 engines on military vehicles is utter nonsense!


      And who offers? Euro-5 for civilian vehicles, the military only needs to replace the checkpoint, instead of ZF, find another one.
      Here, in principle, the 239th would apparently have gone to them, but here again everything rests on forcing Rostec to cooperate. that someone has to do.

      And why not breed it like cretins did with sugar, shot themselves in the foot and gave the manufacturer and traders the opportunity to raise prices (I hope the relevant FAS services, the prosecutor's office will work quickly).

    To say that we will return to box 15 and its modifications is somehow dumb: to also talk about engines, not only do they need to be "learned" to do again - remember the saying that "you cannot enter the same river twice?" , so the engine will not work without TA ... as young people now like to say in such cases, "competencies" have been lost.
    In general, the picture is not very optimistic, and the above analysis is simplified, superficial.

        In order to force there is a system of industry standardization, you just need not be lazy and do it wisely. The same bearings, there is an international standard in electrical engineering, etc., which makes it difficult to do the same for a certain nomenclature in the army.

    I would like to remind the leadership of Kamaz and others that after the war, the Tupolev Design Bureau dismantled B 29 to the last screw, put it all into drawings, transferred all dimensions from inches to mm and within 1 !!!!! One year released an exact copy of the Strategic bomber, aka Tu-4. And all this without CNC machines, without computers and other things. Further more - the Chinese bought Su 27 from us, so now they spank them in packs, they bought an aircraft carrier like our Kuzi, now they already have 3 of them. And then there are groans about some kind of checkpoint, especially since 80% of its parts are made by us. Are they not funny? What's inside nanobiotechnology? In 2015, NTV showed how ordinary self-taught locksmiths from Belgorod, it seems, in garage conditions, modernized the steering rack from Mazda 6, so that it would be eternal, but what is here? Some groans and hints of $$$$. Since we, Russia, are considered in the world to be lawless, so let's be lawless, like the Chinese, it won't get any worse anyway. Announce a competition for these gearboxes and engines, 100% there will be guys who will not only clone it, but also improve it. And then you read straight, well, it’s the end of the entire auto industry. I work in the service myself, so you will surprise me with all this know-how. How many times have they changed or completed cars with parts from other brands. And nothing, everything works.

    The modern civilian KamAZ K5 is: a cab based on Mercedes engineering (the frame and external panels are from the Aktros MP4 cab, except for the front mask and plastic lower belt), the engine is Liebherr engineering, its roots are generally from the MAN D28, the gearbox is the ZF Traxon robot , rear axle - Mercedes, KamAZ itself developed only the frame and front axle, although on the first K5 the front axle was Chinese. Well, in a bunch: Knorr-Bremse brakes, Grammer seats and other things ... So quickly localize the production of cars with new cabs, but it won’t work on old engines and gearboxes, and the ancient V8 won’t get up normally under the floor of the Aktros cabin, where it stands originally in-line 6-cylinder.

          This is why they are on their way, and therefore they promise that the K5 will be produced again in the foreseeable future.
          Another thing is that these machines and small things are not localized, and now for literally every position it is necessary to first find a replacement, then rework the project, issue documentation for production, sign contracts with suppliers, all this in the conditions of sanctions and a more expensive currency.

          Hence the time.

          I personally believe that KAMAZ will restart its K5s, it just won't be fast.

            K5 is localized for small things, it has a foreign engine, rear axle and gearbox. The engine is assembled from us, but from imported components, the rear axle Mercedes supplied as an assembly, it is the same with Aktros and K4. The front axle already has its own, it just started to be installed in the fall. Gearbox - ZF Traxon comes assembled (came...). I also believe in KamAZ, but all this time and considerable efforts to change production lines, equipment and supply logistics. We'll see, but the plant in Wörth also stood up, there was nothing to produce Actros, pieces of iron from KamAZ went there too.

                    KamAZ said that the K5 cabin will be localized by January next year and its production will be resumed. K4 (5490) is planned to be discontinued this year. As long as there are warehouses, K4 and K5 will be assembled until about the end of May this year. In any case, Daimler is constrained, because. he cannot leave the joint venture with KamAZ, for this he needs permission from the government of the Russian Federation, especially the main shareholder - Rostec, he will actively block any attempts by the Germans to leave. The Germans have taken a wait-and-see attitude, too much has been invested and at stake, including integration with the Wörth plant, where Actros are assembled.

    Hello, Alexander!

    You write, you need to look to the future. Why not look even further - beyond the limits of motoring as such? For example, trunk transportation hang on trains. After all, other things being equal, even with zero corruption, we still have a climate that is not Iranian, and any road will be more expensive, and the return on it will be worse than there. But the piece of iron is salvation.

    Or, if there are problems with gearboxes, take a closer look at the electromechanical transmission.

    An interesting article by the author on a topical topic, only here:
    1. For some reason, Russian workers and engineers are remembered when foreign partners throw.
    2. YaMZ -5,6 and possibly the 7th family contain from 40 to 90% of imported units.
    3. The Tutaev Motor Plant is being consistently destroyed by the leadership of Rostec, headed by Chemezov, in the interests of Western capital, in particular Liebherr and Daimler Benz. Most of the other officials and oligarchs are doing the same - Deripaska, Kakogin, Manturov.
    Hence the conclusion:
    -Nationalization of all automobile enterprises is necessary.
    - a complete ban on the use of foreign components and assemblies, patents and know-how, environmental standards and so on.
    -reduction of the tax burden for manufacturing enterprises - VAT zeroing.
    - the introduction of protective duties on all foreign trucks, including here and MAZ. (De facto fallen under the control of Chinese capital.

    This is the expected failure of the state's liberal policy! Only a fool or a provocateur can think that everyone around him is friends and brothers! So, yes, there are a lot of questions, both about economics and politics! It is especially unclear what is happening with the course of the state and the property of its power, as well as with them? Somehow the necessary special operation does not fit in with palaces and yachts. Yes, they are fascists and this is undeniable!

    The article is correct, in general, but the questions need to be posed more harshly: we cannot do anything ourselves/we have forgotten how and now we need to restore the skills and abilities we have lost; Over the past period of time, since 2007 (Munich Conference), we had to carry out a program to “bring up” our suppliers to the modern world level, buy licenses and implement them into production. And what was done: they bought the goods, counted the “profits” and reported in the spirit of Leonid Utesov - “... everything is fine, beautiful marquise...”
