KrAZ-6510
The KrAZ-6510 is a heavy duty truck manufactured at the KrAZ factory in Kremenchuk. It is the successor to the KrAZ-250. HistoryThe development of the KrAZ-6510 quarry dump truck began in the 1980s.[1] The vehicle was a further development and modernization of the KrAZ-250 model. The technical characteristics are largely similar to the previous model. The production of the KrAZ-6510 model began in 1992. In 1994, KrAZ-6510 dump trucks accounted for half of the vehicles manufactured by KrAZ.[2] In 1995, a KrAZ-6510 dump truck with an imported Cummins diesel engine was manufactured.[3] In May 2006, due to Ukraine's transition to the international Euro-2 environmental standards, KrAZ decided to stop production of KrAZ-6510 dump trucks for customers in Ukraine[4] and on 1 January 2007, sales of KrAZ-6510 in Ukraine were stopped. However, the plant announced the possibility of continuing their production for export if there were orders from foreign customers.[5] In 2008, 16 KrAZ-6510-052 dump trucks (with a platform volume of 8.5 m3) were delivered to the Ministry of Defence of Ukraine,[6] another batch of KrAZ-6510 dump trucks (with a platform volume of 10 m3) was manufactured for the Ministry of Construction of Cuba.[7] Gallery
