KAMAZ switches to a four -day work schedule

In August, due to an unfavorable situation in the Russian car market, the Kama Automobile Plant will produce trucks four days a week instead of five. The reason is in weak sales in which the dominance of foreign equipment is blamed, as well as the policy of the Central Bank with a too high key rate. How much the four -day is still unknown.

In the first half of the truck market, a heavier of 14 tons decreased by almost 60 percent. The policy of importers who imported too many cars affected this. As a result, more than 30 thousand unexpressed trucks accumulated in the warehouses, which do not take, even despite the discounts.

Secondly, the Monetary and credit policy of the Central Bank, which made loans and leasing, affected. As a result, transport companies return the equipment taken. It is sold worse, although it is considered almost new.

The production of cars in Russia fell by 28 percent of KAMAZ and Gazprom will help to produce Hongqi in Russia the import of new cars to Russia collapsed by 63 percent

Demand is unlikely to straighten up until the end of the year, KamAZ believes, and this forces manufacturers to “take extraordinary measures” in order to save staff. The manufacturer promises to fulfill all social laws in full.

On the eve of the transition to a four -day working week in August, gas reported. In addition, AvtoVAZ can reduce the schedule. The reasons are the same – the fall of the market and the reservoir of warehouses.
