OREANDA-NEWS. June 19, 2007.  The seating of the Committee on budget, tax and finance of the RT Council of State took place on 6 June in Naberezhnye Chelny. The deputies considered the issue “KAMAZ Inc.’s effective use of property and transport tax remissions for 2006 – 2007”.

Due to these tax benefits KAMAZ Inc. directed the means for implementation of the large scale development program of KAMAZ-6520-II heavy vehicle class production. The increase of facilities in 2006 vs. 2005 is 172,5% (heavy vehicle family), 261,4% (medium tonnage automobiles).

The KAMAZ-6520 heavy vehicle family is the most demanded equipment used in fast-developing economic sectors. This family meets haulers’ demands: the fully loaded mass (gross combination weight) is a determining factor for them by the choice of a vehicle. The comparison characteristics of money and fuel costs prove that the use of KAMAZ-6520 vehicles is beneficial.

Cost-effectiveness of the increased launch of KAMAZ-4308 medium tonnage vehicles is reflected in satisfaction of municipal services’ requirements. KAMAZ-4308 chassis are designed so that a wide range of special superstructures can be placed on them. So, the development program of medium tonnage automobiles is one of dynamic and perspective projects of KAMAZ Inc.
