OREANDA-NEWS.  January 27, 2012. The forge plant of the Metallurgical Unit of OJSC KAMAZ will produce crankshafts for Cummins engines assembled at the joint venture CUMMINS KAMA in Naberezhnye Chelny.

The enterprise successfully completed all stages for the launch of crankshaft forging. Thanks to the efforts of designers and engineers of the forge plant, the new product is light and fine.

It should be recalled that the plant was audited by Cummins Inc. at the end of 2011. The inspection showed that forgings produced by KAMAZ’s forge plant meet all the requirements established for components for Cummins engines. In addition, the preproduction batch of blanks was machined at the engine plant and was approved. As a result, it was decided to produce such details serially. The forge plant plans to deliver 300 crankshafts in February and increase the volume of delivery to 800 units by April.
