The designing process started in 1958 and the goal was to make a heavy missile carrier. For that many components were borrowed from other models like Ural-375, ZIL-164, MAZ-200.
For that time the truck had enormous engine – 38,9 liters with enormous torque of about 1275 Nm. The engine alone weights about a ton.
The truck was peresented to higher officials in 1961 but at that time they preferred ZIL-135 truck but they encouraged to improve the current NAMI-058 as well.
New improved truck was named NAMI-058T. The main differences are new cabin and more modern lighter turbo diesel engine JAMZ-238N (320 hp)
In the end of 1964 and beginning of 1965 the NAMI-058T was once more tested against other similar trucks (Ural-357D and KrAZ-214) and while it performed on par with these it was much more complex and more difficult to build
