KAMAZ Increases Sales

While the automobile market continues falling in all European countries, KAMAZ remains one of few truck producers on the continent gradually increasing production and sales volumes.

Such a conclusion can be made according to the results of the first two months of 2010. The largest increase for two months made 494 units (from 2596 to 3090 units) in comparison with the analogous period of 2009, by 19.0% more than in 2009.

At the same time, 4778 units of equipment in all were sold on the Russian market of trucks 14-40 t GVW during this period (1803 units in January and 2975 units in February). This is by 263 units less than at the beginning of 2009.

The general drop by 5.2% according to the results of the two months in comparison with the analogous period of last year was caused by the fall in import when the uniform customs tariff was imposed for Russia, Belarus and Kazakhstan with higher rates of duty, first of all, for second-hand artics and vehicles of up to 5 years.

The export of KAMAZ vehicles abroad still stays on the level of 2009.
