Veteran construction worker

A КрАЗ-260 is certainly an exotic rarity in Warsaw - a city mostly flooded with fresh new trucks. Despite this, the company Budispaw (with a very stylish logo by the way) is in posession of one and is currently a subcontractor at the construction of the newest tram line in Warsaw to the district of Mokotów.

 

The production of this series of KrAZ trucks was launched 23 years after the opening of the factory in Кременчук, Ukraine, on the base of КрАЗ-255 (with the main outside difference being a different and more sturdy design of the cab). After 12 years, which I find is a relatively short timespan for a truck of Soviet origin, the production was stopped in 1993, with just over 15,000 vehicles produced.
