Valdai 45 trucks with a two-axle chassis, a wheelbase of 3.6 meters, a robotic gearbox and a 470-horsepower 11.8-liter six-cylinder turbodiesel began to appear at dealers. We are talking about the redesigned Foton Auman EST: now the Chinese long-haul tractor is assembled at the facilities of the Gorky Automobile Plant, but de jure the Valdai brand is independent of the GAZ Group.
Prices for Valdai 45 with a total weight of 45 tons start at 9.6 million rubles. Thus, the tractor from Nizhny Novgorod turned out to be about half a million cheaper than the KamAZ K5. The automaker promises savings of up to 1,146,000 rubles if you return your old truck under the trade-in program and lease at 6.5 percent. The warranty is three years without mileage limitation.
The service interval for Valdai 45 is 60 thousand kilometers. Autonomy – up to 3000 kilometers. Among the stated options are rear air suspension, refrigerator, climate control, auxiliary heater, stabilization system, heating of the fuel system and exhaust manifold. An insulated cabin with two berths is installed from the factory.
While Valdai 45 tractors are assembled using the large-knot method, plans include full-cycle production with welding, painting and Russian components. Next year, the line may be replenished with heavy dump trucks and flatbed medium-duty trucks, since in China the Foton brand has an extensive model range.
