Hope they will afford the production of that new model.

Or better to say just have enough orders for.

Looks like many foreign componets are used including cab and engine.

KraZ has difficult times for many years. Together with all Ukrainian economy.

By the word KrAZ factory has historical museum with some restored trucks.

You can see the most of them here. Sorry, looks like no version in English

While many European truckmakers have passed into the pages of history (e.g. Roman, DAC, Henschel, Pegaso, Steyr, Unic), KrAZ has worked hard to remain in the game. Tatra as well.
