Learn Armenia’s Opinion

KAMAZ participated in International Exposition “StroyExpo-2008” which opened on 11 April in Yerevan.

The automobile plant represented three exhibits: an inclined-axis mixer 581453 on KAMAZ-6520 (6x4) chassis, an autoconcrete pump 581532 on KAMAZ-53229 (6x4) chassis and a truck crane MKTB (carrying capacity of 30 tonnes) on KAMAZ-53229 chassis.

Armenia’s car market is as before one of priority ones for KAMAZ, but yet a not completely developed outlet. According to IMF, the economic growth in the republic in 2008 will make up 10%. Production volumes in mineral resource and metallurgy industries of the country are expected to increase due to extra investments mobilization. KAMAZ expects to get an opportunity to actively participate in building of a new, economically developed and prosperous Armenia providing it with modern advanced equipment.

Production and manufacturing capabilities of KAMAZ make it possible to supply customers’ wants in vehicles of all types in a class of 16-40 tonnes GVW, and also in a class of medium tonnage vehicles of up to 16 tonnes GVW.
