How anti-Russian sanctions affected KamAZ’s car factory?

Last April proved extremely difficult for domestic automakers: demand frankly faltered, and supply chain disruptions and strong anti-Russian sanctions prevented the smooth operation of conveyor belts. It is all the more surprising that the Russian KamAZ survived this “black month” very well.

As a result of April, 3803 trucks were produced in Naberezhnye Chelny, so production fell by only 15%. In four months, the truck giant made 15,201 cars, which is even 6.6% higher than last year! In general, things are going well: most likely, the active purchases of dump trucks and all-terrain vehicles for the needs of state and nearby state enterprises will save the situation.

We add that soon the line of KamAZ models will become less saturated. From April to June, KamAZ plans to produce only 77 tractors of the latest K5 family. In addition, only 346 vehicles of the K4 series will go on sale – this is the previous generation of Chelny trucks, where the cabin module is taken from the Mercedes-Benz Axor from 2001.

From the middle of summer, simplified K3 cars with a classic cabin, KAMAZ V8 engines and manual transmissions will become the basis of the range. On the basis of such machines, the Galich Truck Crane Plant is even preparing to produce an “all-Russian crane”.
