The KrAZ-6510 is a heavy duty truck manufactured at the KrAZ factory in Kremenchuk. It is the successor to the KrAZ-250.

History

The 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]

The GAZelle is a series of light commercial vehicle—pickup trucks, vans and minibuses—made by Russian car manufacturer GAZ. At the time of the dissolution of the Soviet Union and transition to a market economy, the Russian automobile industry had not produced a much-demanded LCV similar to the Ford Transit or VW T4 class. The GAZelle shares many parts with the company's passenger cars ; in fact, models produced until 1998 had the same grille. Riga Autobus Factory, which formerly manufactured minibuses for the whole USSR, remained in Latvia, and now required its vehicles be sold to the now-foreign Russian market for hard currency. Responding to this market opportunity, GAZ swiftly developed its own LCV called GAZelle, which, taken together with its lighter version, Sobol, now account for the majority of the Russian van and light truck market and have strong positions in the markets of other CIS countries, ranking as GAZ's most popular and successful products.
