On March 13, four postage stamps dedicated to KamAZ freight vehicles and passenger transport were put into postal circulation

In August of 1969, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union and the Council of Ministers of the USSR adopted Resolution No. 674 On the Construction of a complex of automobile plants in Naberezhnye Chelny, Tatar ASSR. On September 26, Minister of Automotive Industry A. Tarasov signed an order naming the new enterprise the Kama Automobile Plant, and on December 13, work got started on the site of the first KAMAZ facility.

In the late 1980s, the company began designing vehicles of the second generation. The updated models were equipped with domestic turbo diesel engines, as well as imported engines and components.

In 1995, the third generation of trucks went into production that were based on the modernized 6×4 family of vehicles. At the end of the 1990s, new dump truck models appeared: the 13-ton KAMAZ-55112 and the 15-ton KAMAZ-65115. At the same time, the plant developed new models that were a further evolution of previous samples.

In 2017, the company designed and launched more than 100 truck and chassis configurations, including five new K-4 generation models. Along with this, they demonstrated the first prototype of the KAMAZ-54901 K5 wheel tractor.

The company became the first Russian company to master the production of the KAMAZ-6282 electric bus, which can be charged from an ultra-fast charging station.

The postage stamps provide images of KamAZ freight vehicles and passenger transport: the first KAMAZ-5320 truck, a combined road vehicle based on the KAMAZ-65115, the KAMAZ-6282 electric bus, and the KAMAZ-54901 wheel tractor.

In addition to the issue of the postage stamps, JSC Marka produced First Day Covers and special cancels for Moscow and Naberezhnye Chelny, the Republic of Tatarstan, as well as maxi-cards.
