Ukrainian President Expresses High Opinion of New Domestic KrAZ Trucks
OREANDA-NEWS. February 27, 2012. President of Ukraine, Victor Yanukovych could see new KrAZ models during his working visit to Kremenchug (Poltava region), reported the press-centre of AutoKrAZ.
Sergey Sazonov, General Director, AutoKrAZ Holding Company, answered the questions and told about performance and capabilities of the new trucks.
Victor Yanukovych has expressed a high opinion of new domestic vehicles. “These are not the KrAZ trucks I used to see. This is a new technical level. AutoKrAZ does not look back, it tends to develop and implement new technologies”, said the president. He promised to the company state support, increase in orders, and involvement in state programs for public roads system, public service and agriculture development.
During the meeting with region and city authorities and managers of Poltava region enterprises, he said:
" I could see the KrAZ trucks exhibited before the city council building and I saw present-day models. This is the main priority of KrAZ and shareholders. I am sure they realize that it is impossible to make high quality competitive products to sell either in overseas or domestic markets without implementing innovative technologies.
No doubt, our state policy will always be focused on supporting domestic manufacturers. Kryukovskiy Railway Car Building Works and Kremenchug automobile plant are a major focus of our interest, we’ll think in what way to establish partnership to make state policy predictable for them and to enable planning at least 2-3 years ahead”.
In the end of the meeting, the president of Ukraine Victor Yanukovych set the task before the Minister for Regional Development, Construction and Housing and Public Utility Sector to consider possibility of cooperation with AutoKrAZ.
"I would like the Ministry for Regional Development to consider how we could build up relationship with this enterprise. The same goes for the Ministry of Defense and the Ministry for Emergency Situations in terms of fleet replacement. We should develop this program and approve it to have an idea of work planning, state funds allocation and credit policy “.
