AVTOKRAZ STARTS SHIPPING TRUCKS TO LAOS

14 May , 2015  

KYIV. May 14 (Interfax-Ukraine) – Public joint-stock company AvtoKrAZ (Kremenchuk, Poltava region), the only heavy truck producer in Ukraine, has shipped the first batch of all-wheel-drive trucks to Laos as part of a contract signed in December 2014.

According to a company press release issued on Thursday, KrAZ-6322 trucks with Euro 0 engines will be shipped in sea containers partially dismantled, which will cheapen the cost of transportation.

AvtoKrAZ resumed supplies to Laos after a considerable break – the company had not supplied trucks to Laos since 1989.

AvtoKrAZ makes 33 basic vehicle models, and more than 260 modifications and trim levels for civilian and military vehicles.
