Looks like doors from MAN, windscreen from old Volvo, grill and bumper from Iveco… All put on the 30 years old Kamaz cab:
Or it’s just me? 
MMTM S*****t have ordered 50 of them with Russian girls names.
If it has a Russian engine and driveline then I guarantee it will be a right load of old ■■■ that will last 300,000km max, and break down every five minutes.

Engine is russian, the driveline is mixed.
I would not be so sure about that though. Kamaz tippers are still very popular in Poland, my dad’s pal has a big construction company and he runs about 20-30 of them, they have opinion of being indestructable… Off course they break down from time to time, but due to its construction being only a bit more complicated than a hammer, they are very easy and cheap to fix. He tried to use Scanias for some time, and he is now back to Kamaz.
He says "much cheaper to buy, a bit more expensive to run, and much cheaper to fix. And they also loose their value much slower than Scanias, so good for selling them away at the end (he usually runs them for about 10 years before he sells them, but he has one pet that is almost 30 years old now).
And remember, that IIRC this is the biggest total winner of Paris - Dakar rallies…

From the look of the depth of it, I would say it must have a glorified parcel shelf rather than a bed.

It says in specification that it has two 
I’ve been driving once 7.5t MAN with two beds in it - it was OK for sleeping, but there was absolutely no storage space

Did it have the Pony Fantasy high cab? 
Always makes me laugh when I see one!
Probably Ok in Russia or Poland.
Trouble is, you can’t have ‘Euro 4’ and ‘reliable and easy to maintain’ in the same truck.
Happydaze:

No. But I am very familiar with Pony Fantasy - I’ve been driving DAF CF daycab with this for Hebrides Haulage (it’s like that to keep the lorry short for ferry).
Maybe not too good if you want to stay in the cab, but for sleeping it was great - I was taking my gf with me very often and I would never have so good sleep in normal lorry bed, if you know what I mean

Never tried one myself. (The Pony Fantasy I mean…)

Believe or not, but Poland has the same Euro norms as Britain, since it’s in EU (in case that you didn’t noticed). Moreover, this year even Russia adopts Euro 4 standards and Kamaz already makes vehicles that are up to it. I would guess that one is one of them.

In 2011, OJSC KAMAZ performed the main tasks to implement its product policy and enhance the consumer appeal of manufactured vehicles. The company expanded the range of KAMAZ trucks equipped with restyled cabs and improved consumer properties;
started producing vehicles of the light-duty KAMAZ-5308 line-up;
produced pilot batches of Euro 4 KAMAZ vehicles;
implemented a project with Dürr (Germany) to improve protective and decorative properties of cabs — "VANEO Paint Line”;
ramped up production of KAMAZ trucks equipped with ZF gearboxes, including automatic ones, supplied by ZF KAMA Joint Venture;
started equipping KAMAZ-65115 vehicles with 300 hp ■■■■■■■ IsBe engines;
started equipping vehicles with connecting rod and piston groups manufactured by Federal Mogul Naberezhnye Chelny JV;
launched the serial production of KAMAZ engines equipped with Common Rail systems made by Bosch;
ramped up production of 400 hp KAMAZ engines;
launched the serial production of oval-type tipping platforms;
equips all vehicles, except all-wheel drive ones, with tubeless tires and profiled wheels.
Bus chassis of a new generation with improved consumer properties, including 100% low-floor bus chassis, were tested, and construction documents were developed for them.
But you are right, Bosch systems, that can’t be as reliable as a proper Soviet solutions You propably heard that factoid: Americans spend few thousands dollars to develop a pen that can work in no-gravity conditions and had constantly problems with it, Gagarin was issued a pencil

This is also almost true: my friend have one of these:
And all tools he needs in his garage was few keys, sparkplug key, wheel key, one screwdiver and a hammer
(he also has a Renault Laguna and all he need for it is enormous amounts of money to leave it in authorised garage )

Yup, because you OBVIOUSLY know more about Russian vehicles than someone who runs 20 to 30 of them
