The Kamaz 6540 8x4 costs about Rs 8 lakh to Rs 10.25 lakh ex-showroom. On-road price is higher because RTO tax, insurance and registration get added on top, and those change by state. Ask two or three dealers in your city, because discounts differ.
The Kamaz 6540 8x4 gives about 6 kmpl. Your actual figure depends on load, road condition and driving style. With a 250 litre tank, that is roughly 1,500 km on one full tank.
Rated payload is 16,000 kg. Gross vehicle weight is 31,000 kg, which is the truck plus the load together. Stay inside this figure. Overloading breaks springs and tyres early and invites fines at the check post.
The Kamaz 6540 8x4 uses a 11,760 cc diesel engine, 276 HP, 1,177 Nm of torque. It meets BS III norms.
Gross vehicle weight is 31,000 kg, or about 31 tonnes. GVW is the total allowed weight of the truck plus body plus goods, and it decides which licence and permit you need.
It is mainly used for mining. If your daily load and route match that kind of work, this truck fits.
It comes with a 9 Speed manual gearbox. A manual gearbox keeps the running cost and the repair bill lower, and most workshops can handle it.
Yes, air conditioning is part of the cabin. That matters on long runs in summer, and drivers stay with the job longer when the cabin is comfortable.
It has 12 tyres in a 8x4 layout. Tyre size is 11x20 16 PR.
Kamaz gives a manufacturer warranty on this truck. The exact months and kilometre limit change by model and state, so get it in writing from your dealer at the time of booking.
The closest options at this size are Eicher Pro X (25,000 kg GVW, from about Rs 8 lakh), Kamaz 3123 8x4 (31,000 kg GVW, from about Rs 8 lakh) and Ashok Leyland Avtr 3120 HG (31,000 kg GVW, from about Rs 27 lakh). Compare payload, mileage and the service network on your own route before you decide, because those three decide your cost per km more than the sticker price does.
The Kamaz 6540 8x4 has a GVW of 31,000 kg, above the 7,500 kg light motor vehicle limit, so the driver needs a heavy goods vehicle transport licence. An ordinary LMV (car) licence does not cover it.
