KAMAZ answered what was the reason for the collapse of sales of Russian trucks

At a meeting at the Council of the Federation Deputy General Director of the Company, Mikhail Matasov complained that out of 2025 even the pandemic 2020 looks “not so terrible.” In the KamAZ report, a new forecast for the Russian car market of heavy trucks was made: instead of the alleged 80 thousand cars per year, demand can fall below 45-50 thousand pieces. KAMAZ sales look “not very good.”

Mikhail Matasov called a whole range of reasons that interfere with Kamaz. Firstly, trucks from China, with which I have not had to compete before. Secondly, the lack of investment from the outside. Thirdly, the speaker reminded of the restrictions on technology: in previous crises, the plant could rely on international cooperation, “so-called technological partners”.

It turned out which KAMAZ of the K3 line will be the first to resign Weichai showed the latest diesel with a resource 50% more than that of KamAZ KamAZ showed a new heavy tractor with a carrying capacity of 108 tons

“Everything that was negative was together in 2025,” said KamAZ spokesman. Here, inflation is above 10%, and a high key rate of 21%, and inexpensive oil that harms the budget, and difficulties with international payments and supplies of components. At the same time, Mikhail Matasov emphasized that the sales fell “not because we began to work worse”: they just put pressure on unprecedented stocks of cars from Southeast Asia on KamAZ.

The auto giant requested support from the state. The KAMAZ report has proposals to approve the reduction of investment on research and development work (R&D), as well as the wish to resume a deferment to fulfill obligations on subsidies. “Sooner or later we will fulfill our obligations,” said Matasov. But “on some issues” the plant risks not to meet the deadlines.

And Kamaz came
