KAMAZ Appears on Roads of Indonesia
OREANDA-NEWS. KAMAZ, a member of State Corporation Rostec, and the Indonesian company PT. Tehnika Ina signed a distributor agreement on delivery of Russian trucks with an opportunity to organize their assembly.
The documents were signed at a meeting of the Russian-Indonesian Intergovernmental Commission on Trade, Economic and Technical Cooperation. According to Rafail Gaffev, Director General of Foreign Trade Company KAMAZ, negotiations of the Kama auto plant with the Indonesian partner started more than a year ago. The parties hope to completely certify KAMAZ products in Indonesia within the next three or four months: to do this, they signed a contract for delivery of the first four right-hand drive vehicles on a temporary basis – KAMAZ-4326 (4x4) and KAMAZ-43118 (6x6) high-sided trucks, a KAMAZ-6460 (4x4) bolster-type truck tractor and a KAMAZ-6520 (6x4) dump truck. All they are ready for shipping.
It is planned to organize assembly in Indonesia in future. “KAMAZ intends to pursue a more aggressive policy in relation to export of its products: according to our strategy, we plan to increase export by or up to five times in the next seven years, which could have been impossible without entry into new markets,” said Rafail Gaffev. “And Indonesia with its population of 250 million is the largest market in Southeastern Asia.” Mr. Gafeev considers that KAMAZ is especially strong in the market segment of off-road trucks, and there are all reasons to hope that its products will be called-for in Indonesia too.
Products of KAMAZ are familiar to Indonesian customers. Thus, last year Hatta Rajasa, Coordinating Minister for Economic Affairs in Indonesia, informed that KAMAZ heavy-duty trucks were widely known in his country in the course of negotiations with Rustam Minnikhanov, President of Tatarstan. In its turn, Indonesia attracts the Russian manufacturer with its spacious and fast-growing market. According to the International Organization of Motor Vehicle Manufacturers (OICA), the country’s market of commercial trucks grew by six percent to 172,845 units in the first half-year 2013.
