I dunno but one of the most rugged trucks I have ever got my hands on in Chile.
Impressive and used a lot in the open cast copper mines near Antofagasta.
If I was going to run a fleet of trucks in sub Sahara Africa this would be the brand!
Engine is a dead ringer for the old Perkins V8 found in such old obsolete trucks such as the Leyland Boxer

It seems for the latest models, the engine is now supplied by Leibherr to Euro 2 spec for the Dakar/Kamaz models. Certainly the absence of the black smoke plume and the noticeable exhaust V8 warble often associated with old V8 is gone!
The tech sheet still shows V8 Kamaz engine though! Curious
Cab has changed to a more squat design as well from previous models.
