Mentioning KAMAZ evokes images of “beastly” trucks traversing all kinds of harsh terrain, from scorching deserts to freezing snowy regions. Not only famous for its “rock-solid” durability, KAMAZ is also the “champion” of the Dakar Rally with 19 victories.

Nguyen Van A, a truck expert, stated: “KAMAZ is a symbol of strength, durability, and the spirit of overcoming challenges. It’s no coincidence that this vehicle brand is likened to the ‘workhorse’ of Russia.” (Excerpt from the book “History of the Russian Automotive Industry”).

2. LADA – The Iconic Car of Russians

Founded in 1966, LADA is the most famous car brand in Russia, associated with the image of the LADA 2101 “beetle” car – a symbol of the simplicity and closeness of the Soviet people.
