Baku, Azerbaijan, Mar. 3
By Maksim Tsurkov – Trend:
KAMAZ considers it necessary to focus on promotion of a new model range in Azerbaijan in the future, Sergey Kogogin, director general of KAMAZ PJSC, a truck manufacturer based in Tatarstan, Russia, told Trend.
Speaking about the company’s plans for the next year in Azerbaijan, Kogogin noted that KAMAZ PJSC will continue cooperation with the Ganja Auto Plant.
He said it is very important for KAMAZ PJSC to have a production site in Azerbaijan.
“On the other hand, it is important for Azerbaijan to keep the machinery industry and not to depend on imports,” he added.
KAMAZ produces a wide range of commercial vehicles – trucks (more than 40 models, over 1,500 configurations, right hand drive vehicles), trailers, buses, tractors, engines and various tools.
КАМАZ PJSC has historically been positioning itself in the 14-40 ton gross vehicle weight (GVW) truck market.
The Ganja Auto Plant assembles and sells KAMAZ trucks in Azerbaijan.
