OREANDA-NEWS. A demand for the main products of OJSC KAMAZ on the market was stable in May, therefore the company managed to successfully fulfill its plans.

The automobile plant, KAMAZ’s finishing production unit, made 4,240 vehicle sets last month, and 20,147 units since the beginning of the year. More than one thousand vehicles were exported in May.

The engine plant and CUMMINS KAMA JV totally produced and delivered 4,675 engines and power units to the mother assembly line of KAMAZ and other customers. Since the beginning of the year, they have produced more than 21.2 thousand motors for vehicles and other equipment.

The company shipped spare parts to customers for RUB 0.6 bn in May, and for RUB 2.84 bn for five months of the year. Last month, other products were made for more than RUB 320 m, and for RUB 5.34 bn since the beginning of the year.

According to KAMAZ marketing experts’ preliminary research, the Russian market of trucks with GVW of 14-40 t reduced by 27.2% y-o-y to 31 thousand units for five months of 2013. Lowering was caused by a negative impact from Russia’s entry into the WTO on purchasers of vehicles (in the timber, construction, agriculture industries); financing of federal targeted programs behind schedule; pressure from stocks of vehicles imported to the RF at the end of last year. Nevertheless, for the first five months of 2013, OJSC KAMAZ has increased its market share to 44.8% (against 37.6% of the same period last year).
