OREANDA-NEWS. May 29, 2012. OJSC KAMAZ considers two projects to improve transportation with the help of the KAMATEYNER system, an analogue of European swap bodies, which was for the first time designed and manufactured by KAMAZ as far back as 1975.

One of the projects – "Optimization of Storage-and-Retrieval Using Swap Bodies" – enables to transport cargoes 5-6 times faster using half the number of vehicles.

The second project – "Delivery of Rolled Metal from Magnitogorsk" – enables to transport cargoes 10 times faster, implement a just-in-time system and therefore reduce costs. Breakthrough technologies of transportation, like these two projects, open up ample opportunities for business in the world’s largest country.

The KAMATEYNER system is used in a project of Naberezhnye Chelny’s branch of Kazan State Technical University. It’s aimed at the development of three conceptions of short-haul traffic for a large food factory. The research conducted with the use of lean manufacturing tools, data analysis and examination of proposals on the market of transportation proved that the use of swap bodies are 4-6 times more efficient in terms of speeding-up and twice as profitable as the use of standard "eighteen-wheelers". The research of the university on the use of the effective container traffic system serves to improve the quality and speed of transportation.
