You do not see this on the streets of megacities: the traffic police will not let you through with such an “oversized” (width – 3.6 meters!), And he has nothing to do here. KAMAZ‑6561, also known as Hercules, is supposed to work in quarries and mines, laying pipelines and the like.
In addition to the unusual appearance, the technical content is also not standard: a diesel-electric sequential hybrid. The diesel runs the generator, which powers the traction motor and charges the lithium titanate batteries. When cornering, the semi-frames are folded in: it is not the wheels that turn, but the front part relative to the rear.
The load capacity of the machine is 35 tons.
Series production of KAMAZ‑6561 is planned for 2024.
Mikhail Kolodochkin has been collecting unusual facts from the history of technology for many years. For example, did you know that there is a road tunnel 900 meters deep in Russia?
