KYIV. Sept 10 (Interfax-Ukraine) – Public joint-stock company AvtoKrAZ (Kremenchuk, Poltava region), the only Ukrainian producer of heavy trucks, has signed contracts to supply trucks with its long-term partners in Georgia and Moldova, the company’s press service has reported.
AvtoKrAZ spokesperson Dina Stehantseva told Interfax-Ukraine can now announce a resumption of supplies after a long break: the last supplies to Moldova were in 2008 and to Georgia – in 2012.
According to the press release, special purpose KrAZ trucks with KrAZ 63221 6×6 chassis will be produced for the customer in Georgia.
An ATZ-11 tanker will be installed on the chassis for shipping light fuel, and a chassis with double-tire wheels will have equipment for transporting various products.
The two types of the trucks will have Euro 3 Ford engines, an MFZ-430 engine clutch, and a Fast Gear unit.
“We only recently started installing Ford engines to mass-production trucks, and buyers have showed their interest to these trucks and we’ve started receiving orders on them,” Stehantseva said, adding that the company hopes that the Georgian partner could order more trucks in the future.
The plant would produce dump trucks KrAZ-65055 (6х4) with a capacity of 12 cubic meters for the customer from Moldova.
The trucks will be used to ship stone.
AvtoKrAZ makes 33 basic vehicle models, and more than 260 modifications and trim levels for civilian and military vehicles.
