Working to reduce payload capacity “AutoKrAZ” intends to replace foreign-made vehicles in the sector of light and medium-duty trucks of the domestic market. This is the most costly project of top priority among development works of the automobile plant. Following light-duty chassis cab trucks KrAZ-5401 (4х2 and 4х4) offering payload of 12, 10 and 9 tonnes and maximum commonality with various power packs and superstructures the company has developed and built the КrAZ-5401Н2 medium-duty chassis cab truck with payload capacity of 6 tonnes. This chassis truck is designed for conversion into vehicles provided with various equipment. It is available both in short and long wheelbase.

For the first time ever in KrAZ line-up this chassis truck is provided with four-cylinder inline engine rated at 170hp meeting Euro-5 emission standard and offering better fuel efficiency. The engine is provided with the 6J70T 6-speed manual transmission. Reduced payload capacity makes it possible to use in the KrAZ-5401Н2 chassis truck a steering box of less standard size never used before on KrAZ trucks.

Overall dimension reduced to 6000 mm as compared to its predecessors ensures better maneuverability, which is of no small importance in urban cycle. Flat-face cab mounted on the KrAZ-5401Н2 chassis cab truck as on all the models of the line-up for use in urban cycle makes it suitable for use in tight spots. Type of superstructure to be mounted on this “baby” will be chosen by customer. However, no matter what will be fitted: vacuum unit, refrigerating body, refuse or curtain-sided body, you can be sure that this KrAZ-based special vehicle will tackle any job. And the buyer will get a reliable and efficient vehicle for years to come.
