OREANDA-NEWS. July 13, 2011. Russia’s major companies are more and more interested in KAMAZ vehicles running on compressed natural gas. JSC "Gazprom" is one of such companies. While the cost of gasoline and diesel fuel is constantly rising, natural gas is still the cheapest energy source for cars to date. Moreover, in terms of environmental standards, it causes less damage to the environment than other fuels.

The guests from JSC “Gazprom” will be shown the mother assembly line of Automobile Plant, a cylinder processing line and an engine assembly line of KAMAZ-Diesel and Cummins Kama JV, as well as a service center for CNG vehicles made by KAMAZ and RariTEK. Ildar Mingaleev, Deputy Minister of Industry and Trade; Evgeniy Pronin, Deputy General Director for Sales and Service; Irek Gumerov, Deputy Director General for Development; Ashot Arutyunyan, Director of Marketing and Advertising; and Rafael Batyrshin, General Director of OOO RariTEK, will accompany the guests.

In the course of a meeting which was held later, the partners will discuss the ways of interaction between KAMAZ and JSC "Gazprom".
