KAMAZ approved the budget for the Advanced Engineering School (AES) «CyberAutoTech». This year, 1.9 billion rubles will be allocated for it. This money will be used to open and equip new laboratories, as well as new projects. Interestingly, among these projects the 12-seater KAMAZ-1221 drone was unexpectedly mentioned.
This car was first shown at the Moscow Motor Show in 2016. KAMAZ-1221 is aimed at excursion routes in the limited space of parks and exhibition centers. Serial production was planned to begin by 2021, but was affected by the coronavirus pandemic. Now the project is being revived, and first of all they will be engaged in the selection of domestic component base. Surely this will affect the characteristics of the car.
