About the model
Production years: 1976–1990
A tractor unit based on ZiL-130 units. Built at the Kutaisi Automobile Plant from 1976; it differs from the KAZ-608 in its new square cab.
Later versions:
KAZ-608V1: with the ZiL-375 engine
KAZ-608V2: engine and axles from the ZiL-431410 truck (a modernised ZiL-130), reinforced frame.
In series production the KAZ-608V was built only as a tractor unit, though on farms it was quite common to mount a fertiliser spreader on its frame. Small numbers were also converted into tippers, flatbeds and vans.
