Crew bus (vakhtovka)

Crew buses on KamAZ, Shacman and Hino chassis: insulated passenger module, certified seats with belts. Built in Almaty.
The cost is calculated from the configuration: chassis, body dimensions, specification and whether a temperature range is required.

Quote is based on body, chassis and temperature range.

Specifications

  • The COND design is based on a reinforced steel-profile frame and reliable, highly insulating sandwich panels
  • Dirt protection: plastic wheel-arch liners with rubber mudflaps and side guards keep stones and dirt out, extending the life of chassis components
  • Our own sandwich panels deliver excellent insulation, while the reinforced frame guarantees passenger safety
  • The number of passenger seats sets the module length, and the route conditions set the chassis: all-wheel-drive 6×6 units go onto field roads
  • The heater and air conditioner are selected by the number of seats and the climate of the region: a 20-seat module heats differently in winter than an 8-seat one

About crew buses

What it is for

A crew bus carries work crews to remote fields and sites where an ordinary bus cannot get through. The body is mounted on all-wheel-drive chassis and designed for Kazakhstan's winters and off-road conditions.

Design

An insulated sandwich-panel body, autonomous heating, soft seats with belts, luggage racks and emergency exits to passenger-transport standards. On request — sleeping berths, a tool compartment, air conditioning.

Who it suits

For mining companies, drilling and construction contractors, and service companies with rotation crews.

How to order

Capacity — 8 to 28 seats on KamAZ, Shacman, Hino and Ural chassis. Sized by headcount and route.

Is a “vakhtovka” the same thing?

Yes — “vakhtovka” is the working name for a crew bus. On paper the vehicle is registered as a special-purpose bus or a goods-and-passenger vehicle; out on site people call it a vakhtovka, a crew carrier or simply “the vakhta”. It is the same machine: a truck chassis carrying a passenger module instead of a cargo body.

How it differs from an ordinary bus

A road bus is built for asphalt: low floor, little ground clearance, soft suspension. A crew bus sits on a truck chassis, usually all-wheel drive, and is built for dirt, broken field roads and winter tracks. Hence the high floor, the ladder with a handrail, the reinforced module frame, and an independent heater that keeps the cabin warm with the engine switched off.

The second difference: the module is removable and built to the job — with racks for tools, a locker for workwear, separate entrances. The passenger saloon of a road bus cannot be rebuilt that way.

How many seats, and on what chassis

From 8 to 28 seats. The seat count sets the module length, and the module length sets the wheelbase required, so the order of choice is: first the crew, then the vehicle. Short village routes take a KamAZ or a Hino; oilfields and winter roads take all-wheel-drive KamAZ and Shacman 6×6.

Seats are certified, fitted with belts, and spaced so a person can sit in winter clothing: the layout is calculated from the seat count, not from how many will squeeze in.

FAQ

FAQ — crew buses

By chassis and body. A crew bus is a passenger module on a truck chassis, usually all-wheel drive: it travels the field and dirt roads where a service bus cannot go for ground clearance and traction. The module is built from sandwich panels with an independent heater, so it holds warmth when parked and in frost.
KAMAZ, Shacman and Hino. The route dictates the chassis: all-wheel-drive 6×6 for field roads, while rear-wheel drive is enough for highways and prepared sites. The vehicle category is C or CE.
The number of seats sets the length of the module, not the other way round: first the crew and the route are counted, then a chassis with the right wheelbase is chosen. The spread is wide — an 8-seat module and a 20-seat module differ in both length and heater output.
By an independent heater that does not depend on the engine: the crew travels warm and stays warm when parked with the engine off. The heater and air conditioner are selected by the number of seats and the climate of the region — a 20-seat module heats differently in winter than an 8-seat one.
An insulated sandwich-panel body, certified seats with belts, luggage racks and emergency exits to the standards for carrying people. On request, bunks, a tool compartment and an air conditioner are added.
Yes. Fitting a passenger module is a conversion, and it is registered with an entry in the vehicle document. The vehicle is handed over with the conversion paperwork; the procedure and the list of documents are covered on a separate page.
