KAMAZ returned to usual operation

KAMAZ has canceled the reduced three-day working week, which was introduced on March 15th, and from May 26th, 2022, it again works in the usual five-day mode. This was reported in the press service of the enterprise, by noting that now the company is provided with orders, and there is no point in introducing a "three-day period". However, some employees, on the contrary, have been transferred to a three-day regime. This applies to those employees whose activities were related to international partners.

"We have mainly switched to Russian components, and there is no need to fully load these people. So that they do not suffer in wages, they work for two days remaining from their main job in temporary employment, "they said at KAMAZ. Recall that due to the suspension of the supply of imported components under the conditions of external sanctions, the bulk of KAMAZ's production is currently made up of Euro-5 class K3 trucks. Nevertheless, the production of vehicles of the K4 and K5 generations also continues, however, the stock of components is still the limiting factor in production. Therefore, today the main efforts of the company are aimed at localizing imported components and working with alternative Russian suppliers.

As Sergey Kogogin, General Director of KAMAZ, stated earlier, the task of the enterprise is to start the assembly of K5 vehicles from January 2023 without the participation of foreign partners. The initial volume of produced trucks will be small, but the company does not plan to abandon the promising line of vehicles, in the development of which a lot of money and time have been invested.
