KamAZ and its official partner introduce a compact garbage truck for Russian regions
The KamAZ company, together with its official partner JSC RIAT, unveiled a new garbage truck designed for operation in Russia’s regional landscapes. This information comes from the brand’s press office. The announcement highlights the vehicle’s compact footprint and narrow dimensions, enabling it to maneuver effectively in tight city yards. The superstructure is mounted on the Kamaz Compass-12 chassis, which enhances overall maneuverability. An additional advantage cited is an improved pressing system that increases efficiency during waste compaction.
Officials note that the Compass family was first introduced in 2022. Since then, KamAZ has produced more than a thousand units of these vehicles. The company intends to advance the Compass 5 model toward mass production in the near future, reflecting ongoing expansion of the Compass lineup. The emphasis remains on delivering reliable solutions for urban and municipal waste management with a focus on agility and daily operational efficiency.
In other industry news, Ivan Vangu Ngimbi, ambassador of the Democratic Republic of the Congo to the Russian Federation, indicated that Kinshasa is in discussions with KamAZ to boost the export of Russian trucks and to explore the possibility of establishing an assembly facility for these vehicles in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. This potential collaboration would aim to strengthen regional manufacturing capabilities and supply chains across Africa. Such talks illustrate KamAZ’s broader strategy to expand international presence while supporting local industrial development, according to the brand’s press office.
