OREANDA-NEWS. March 20, 2008. KAMAZ Inc. participates in the 7th Annual Industrial Exhibition EXPO-RUSSIA 2008.

The exhibition opened on 19 March in the Exhibition Centre of the Holiday Inn hotel in Amman – the capital of Jordan. It is organized within the bounds of Russian Days in Jordan (19-21 March) and is conducted under the patronage of the Russian-Jordan Business Council. It is supposed to be visited by the representatives of the ministries, offices, businessmen and specialists of Jordan, Iraq and other Middle East countries. The leading Russian and Arab mass media give an information support to this event.

Politically and economically stable Jordan, by rights considered the gateway to the Middle East, maintains economic relations with the Russian Federation on a rather high level. In addition, the Hashemite Kingdom again assumes a role of a mediator in multilateral cooperation development in the region. One of the primary intents of the exhibition is to open up for the Russian business and so for KAMAZ the possibility to participate in reconstruction of the Iraqui economy. It will be recalled that the direct supplies of KAMAZ vehicles to Iraq were interrupted in 2003 because of a war in this country.

KAMAZ considers the automobile market of Jordan to be strategically important. Jordan is a part of the region which is now dynamically developing, and on the auto truck market there started a severe competition. The companies from Europe, China and the local automotive enterprises work there. KAMAZ vehicles position themselves as practical, high quality, affordable automobiles for business.

At Expo-Russia-2008 KAMAZ Inc. demonstrates only one model – an inclined-axis mixer 581451 on KAMAZ-6520 chassis. The company takes into account the fact that the construction enterprises of many Middle East countries take a heightened interest in the special equipment on KAMAZ chassis. The inclined-axis mixer with the mixing drum volume of 8 cubic meters represents the whole line of new efficient equipment on KAMAZ-6520 chassis consisting of tens of models and their modifications. The guests of the exhibition receive total information about them through stands in the KAMAZ exposition.
