OREANDA-NEWS. September 03, 2012. Following the tradition, AutoKrAZ has taken part in National Sorochintsy Fair held in the village Velikie Sorochintsy, Mirgorod region, reported the press-centre of AutoKrAZ. 

Numerous visitors of major Ukrainian brand event could see two trucks: the KrAZ Рљ16.2R 16-ton truck (6С…4) provided with Renault cab and special equipment from Velmash-Ukraina for carrying wood chips and the show truck Krazy-crocodile.

It may be said without exaggeration that the exhibits of PJSC AutoKrAZ were among the most frequently visited. Those who wanted to take photo with Krazy had to queue. This unique show-stopper has rightly become a centerpiece of Sorochintsy Fair.

UUkrainian Prime Minister Nikolai Azarov who has come to see “AutoKrAZ”’s exhibits has emphasized high quality of domestic trucks. After hearing detailed information of Sergey Sazonov, General Director, JSPC AutoKrAZ, about new public service trucks, its capabilities, directions for lineup development the company is focused on, the Head of the Government wanted to get behind the wheel of state-of-the-art Ukrainian truck.

He has given a high opinion of home-made truck and promised to lend support to the only domestic manufacturer in resolving a problem with 30 percent disposal fee imposed on vehicles by negotiating with Russian Federation Government. In his opinion, such a step will force the Ukrainian government to retaliate and this will not promote relationship between Ukraine and Russia. He also promised to enroll AutoKrAZ for participation in state-run programs and solve a problem of non-payment for fire fighting KrAZ trucks supplied to the Ministry of Emergency Situations some years ago.

Moreover, Nikolai Azarov mentioned his intention to visit Kremenchug automobile plant in the nearest time.
