“AutoKrAZ” reports good results and interesting partnership offers from the 4^th edition of the International Agroindustrial Exhibition  AGROEXPO-2016 that closed its doors on the 1^st of October in Kropivnitskiy. Ukrainian manufacturer, Kremenchug Automobile Plant, displayed two vehicles that can be used by farms and farm firms. Products that went on display were the KrAZ-5401С2 two-axle dump truck and the KrAZ-5401Н2 light duty chassis cab offering maximum commonality throughout the range of power plants and superstructures (currently it is converted into refrigerator van.)

The KrAZ-5401С2 (4х2) has been built by “AutoKrAZ” in the beginning of this year. It features:
- Excellent maneuverability with  minimum turning radius of about  7,5 m due to bonnetless cab;
- Payload of 10 tonnes with small overall dimensions: 6330х2500х2960;
- Comfortable working environment for driver due to ergonomic cab with comfortable air-suspended seats, height and tilt adjusted steering column, functional dashboard and many other things that help reduce driver fatigue;
- Unique 7 cu.m. box-type dump body with remotely controlled tailgate. The dump body is provided with hoist featuring telescopic twin cylinder.  

The other exhibited vehicle is one of the most advanced models, on which the automobile plant lays its hopes: the KrAZ-5401Н2 (4х2) light-duty chassis cab. This model features light units and parts such as lighter suspension and cold-bent channel bar made of high strength metal from Austrian group Voestalpine AG instead of hot-rolled channel bar was used for chassis frame. Ergonomic low cab, wide windscreen offering excellent visibility, maximum commonality throughout the family and different power plants, turning radius of 8,5 m, fuel consumption smaller than the one of its predecessors and many advantages that distinguish this model. This chassis cab has been converted into 33,13 cu.m. refrigerated van that maintains temperature ranging from -20 to +20⁰ С.

KrAZ gradually makes a reality its intention to gain a foothold in the segment of light-duty vehicles and deprive foreign vehicles of competitive edge by extending lineup of cabovers. Both exhibits were a great success and caught interest of farmers and agrarians who dubbed these vehicles “Little Ukrainian Farmer”. According to them the KrAZ-5401С2 dump truck is well suited for hauling bulk farm produce all year round, while the refrigerator will help preserve perishables when carrying them to food processing companies.

Throughout the exhibition’s duration officials of “AutoKrAZ” had a series of meetings with potential buyers and discussed many questions of partnership between Ukrainian manufacturer and the country’s breadwinners, got new business contacts, determined common objectives for both key branches of the country and ways to achieve them.
