OREANDA-NEWS. June 17, 2014. “AutoKrAZ” keeps on introducing advanced technologies and integrate high efficiency equipment. 

To improve quality of parts of front, rear and intermediate reduction gear unit and reduce energy cost and manpower effort, a new DAHLIN MCV-720 drilling and milling centre from GOODWAY (Taiwan) has been installed and commissioned.
