OREANDA-NEWS. January 28, 2011.  According to last year’s results, OJSC KAMAZ greatly pushed up its sales, especially in Ukraine and Kazakhstan.

Foreign Trade Company of OJSC KAMAZ sold about half a thousand vehicles in Ukraine during 2010. The enterprise again proved that trucks it produces are the most popular heavy vehicles in Ukraine. Besides, KAMAZ is highly competitive as compared with auto producers from other countries. The main advantage of KAMAZ vehicles is their high quality combined with a reasonable price. In 2011, the company plans to occupy almost one third of the Ukrainian automobile market among trucks of more than 16 t GVW, and about one fourth among trucks of 8-16 t GVW. The sales are expected to grow half as much.

OJSC KAMAZ is still the leader on the truck market of Kazakhstan with a share of 40%. It has the strongest position in a segment of all-wheel drive trucks. Last year, KAMAZ exported three times as many trucks as in 2009 to Kazakhstan. Foreign Trade Company of OJSC KAMAZ realizes more and more vehicles due to an improving economic situation in the country which is currently going out of the crisis. In particular, KAMAZ trucks are widely used in construction.

Undoubtedly, the Russian vehicles have become more popular in Kazakhstan due to a successful debut of the Astana team at a recently held off-road rally-raid – Dakar. It should be recalled that the Kazakh racers took eighth place driving a KAMAZ vehicle there. But Foreign Trade Company KAMAZ will never rest on its laurels. In 2011, the company plans to increase deliveries to Kazakhstan more than by one fourth against the passed year.
