As early as 1971, ten years before the start of large-scale production, the plant presented its first prototype under the name KamAZ-4310.

It already had all the essential features that the series model later had: single tires on all axles, permanent all-wheel drive, a tilting driver's cab and the KamAZ-740 engine.

Like all previous types, it had only minor changes compared to the original version from 1971 and was very similar in construction to the KamAZ-5320 without all-wheel drive.

[2] This year the vehicle was revised and received a more powerful version of the KamAZ 740 engine with now 220 hp.

In addition, VEB Maschinenbau Karl Marx Babelsberg built a total of 17 vehicles of the type 100 car slewing crane with a lifting force of ten tons in 1989 and 1990, using the chassis of the KamAZ-43105.
