OREANDA-NEWS. August 10, 2012. KAMAZ-LEASING gave vehicles for construction and reparation of roads using poured asphalt MRD K40 on KAMAZ-65201 (8x4) chassis to one of road building companies under a long-term lease contract, reported the press-centre of KAMAZ.

Konimvest-AKMT, one of the major Russian engineering companies and KAMAZ’s longtime partner, manufactured and supplied the new special vehicle, according to the contract. Russian road workers will operate machines of this type for the first time. GTK-19W equipment for transportation of poured asphalt manufactured by AGT, Germany, is installed on the KAMAZ-65201 (8x4) chassis. Its distinguishing feature is an ability to not only deliver cast asphalt to the site, but also to produce it in the field. Moreover, the material produced fully complies with the new mastic asphalt standard GOST R 54401-2011 which was introduced this year. A heated tank for mastic asphalt contains about 8,000 liters (19 tons) of mixture. The tank is heated with two diesel burners each featuring a burner capacity of 50 kW. The drive of the equipment is independent, based on the HATZ diesel engine with a capacity of 21.6 kW. The reliable system controlling heating mixing processes enables to prepare high quality mastic asphalt mixtures.

The equipment based on the KAMAZ chassis was leased for a long term with a purchase option from KAMAZ-LEASING Group of Companies. This is a 100% subsidiary of OJSC KAMAZ and one of the largest organizations leasing vehicles from the manufacturer on the whole territory of Russia. Compared to other payment methods (such as a 100% payment or a bank loan), leasing has a number of significant advantages.

One of them is tax payments saving. Lease payments are considered to be expenses of enterprises; therefore, an income tax is reduced. And the accelerated depreciation of the leased item can reduce a property tax. Upon expiry of the contract, the property passes into ownership at a minimal cost. In addition, the VAT included in the lease payments is fully deducted from the budget, which is impossible for a bank loan. With flexible financing options, special machinery leasing offers from KAMAZ-LEASING are among of the most profitable ones on the leasing market in Russia. The company satisfies every client’s specific requirements taking into account peculiarities of his or her business.
