Description

The KAMAZ-5490-DL is a dual-fuel semi-trailer tractor produced by PJSC KAMAZ — Russia's largest commercial vehicle manufacturer and a member of the Rostec state corporation. Built on the KAMAZ-5490 NEO platform, the DL variant runs simultaneously on liquefied natural gas (LNG) and diesel fuel, making it a flagship product in KAMAZ's gas-motor vehicle programme.

Power comes from a 401 hp (295 kW) Mercedes-Benz OM 457 LA Euro-5 inline six-cylinder engine, paired with an automated gearbox. The dual-fuel LNG system was developed in partnership with Dutch specialist Prins Autogassystemen B.V., one of the world's leading developers of bi-fuel engine systems.

A cryogenic LNG tank with a capacity of 450 litres gives the truck a range of up to 1,700 km on a single fill, while the gas-to-diesel substitution ratio of 60/40 keeps operating costs well below those of conventional diesel traction. The system is fully automatic — drivers engage it with a single button and the truck falls back to diesel automatically if LNG runs out.

The KAMAZ-5490-DL sits in the N3 vehicle category, has a 4×2 wheel formula, a gross vehicle weight of 18,600 kg, and a fifth-wheel load capacity of 10.76 tonnes. Safety features include ECAS electronic air suspension control, EBS, ESP, and ASR, while the high-roof Daimler cab with Webasto AT 2000 STC auxiliary heater ensures driver comfort on long-haul routes.

Details & Equipment

KAMAZ-5490-DL in the Field

Europe–China Auto Rally

The KAMAZ-5490 NEO-DL participated in the gas-motor vehicle Europe–China auto rally in October 2018, demonstrating the dual-fuel LNG system developed jointly with Prins Autogassystemen B.V. across thousands of kilometres of road.

Dual Cryogenic LNG Tanks

KAMAZ's first series-production KAMAZ-5490 tractors fitted with two cryogenic LNG tanks entered service in 2020, achieving a range of over 1,400 km on a full load of LNG stored at –160 °C.

Gas-Motor Fleet Delivery

Operators across Russia have adopted the gas-powered KAMAZ-5490 family in large numbers, with gas-diesel tractors on CNG already exceeding 5,000 units produced and LNG variants in growing serial output.

Features

⛽

Dual-Fuel Gas-Diesel Powertrain

The gas-diesel system developed with Prins Autogassystemen B.V. replaces 60% of diesel with LNG, enabling annual fuel-cost savings of up to 500,000 rubles at 150,000 km per year.

🔧

401 hp Euro-5 Engine

A 401 hp (295 kW) Mercedes-Benz OM 457 LA inline-six diesel engine certified to Euro-5 emissions standards powers the tractor and serves as the base for the dual-fuel conversion.

🛣️

Up to 1,700 km Single-Fill Range

A 450-litre cryogenic LNG tank supports a range of up to 1,700 km on one fill, matching or exceeding the range of comparable diesel tractors on long-haul routes.

🤖

Fully Automatic Gas System

The LNG system activates with a single button and switches back to diesel automatically when gas is exhausted, requiring no manual intervention and preserving full performance at all times.

🛡️

Comprehensive Active Safety Suite

ECAS electronic air suspension management, EBS electronic braking, ESP stability programme, and ASR traction control are all fitted as standard on the KAMAZ-5490-DL.

🪑

High-Comfort Daimler Cab

The high-roof Daimler cab rides on spring suspension and is equipped with a Webasto AT 2000 STC autonomous cabin heater, air conditioning, and telematic monitoring of the gas-diesel system.
