Heavy-duty trucks popular in Russia and the former USSR are being
assembled in Karabakh, reported the unrecognized Armenian republic's
public television this week.
First "made-in-Karabakh" Kamaz vehicles are now ready to be used for
the needs of capital Stepanakert and elsewhere.
Nagorno-Karabakh Republic Prime Minister Ara Harutyunyan visited the
AKA 27-18 company that specializes in car manufacturing to see how
the mechanical engineering process is organized, reported Arka news
agency, quoting Karabakh's TV channel.
The plant's director Artur Baburyan said car manufacturing was launched
in Karabakh last May after the enterprise had received financial aid
from the government.
"Spare parts for cars are imported from Russia and the trucks are
manufactured in NKR. By this we are able to save significant funds,"
said Baburyan. "If this car costs nearly $80,000 in Russia, the same
car manufactured in NKR costs just $55,000."
He said the first Kamaz snow removal vehicle is already ready for
operation.
"In about ten days a garbage collection vehicle will be also
commissioned. After that the enterprise will manufacture another two
snow removal vehicles, which will operate on the Stepanakert-Berdzor
highway and to clean streets in capital Stepanakert. We have also got
orders to manufacture five garbage collection vehicles," said Baburyan.
Kamaz, based in Tatarstan, Russia, is the largest truck producer
in Russia and former USSR countries. Its heavy-duty models produced
since 1976 are popular not only in former Soviet republics but also in
Eastern Europe, Latin America, China, the Middle East and North Africa.
