At the Comtrans-2023 fair, Modern Transport Technologies Group of Companies (STT) announced the birth of its new brand, Nizhny Novgorod Trucks. The newly established automaker will produce commercial vehicles under the Valdai brand.
The production facilities of the new brand are located on the territory of the Nizhny Novgorod auto cluster. The intention is to assemble the Valdai 18 truck chassis, the Valdai 33 dump truck and the Valdai 45 tractor there.
According to unofficial information, the new Valdai are models of the Chinese Foton. At the moment they are produced with a minimum degree of localization – by means of a “screwdriver”. However, it is planned to organize a full production cycle next year, including welding and body painting. There is no information about the “Russification” of the assembly of power units (engine, gearbox, bridges) for Valdaev.
