An extended meeting of the Transport and Forwarding Committee of the Altai Krai Chamber of Commerce and Industry was held at the official dealer of the automotive giant – “KAMAZ Center Altai”.
The meeting was attended by Anton Blinov, Deputy Minister of Transport of the Altai Territory, Yuri Betenkov, Chairman of the Committee of the Altai Territory Chamber of Commerce and Industry on Transport and Forwarding and Director of LLC “TK Altai,” Igor Panarin, Chairman of the Permanent Committee of the AKZS on Construction, Housing and Utilities, Transport and Communications, representatives of the regional government, the State Road Supervision, the public council under the Ministry of Transport, and specialized companies. It is worth noting that “KAMAZ Center Altai,” on whose premises the off-site meeting was held, is the new official dealer of PJSC “KAMAZ” in the region. According to Yuri Betenkov, the choice of location is due to the fact that the company is a member of the Chamber of Commerce and Industry and the committee, and recently received official dealer status from the Russian automaker.
The transport sector of the Altai Krai is transitioning to new digital tools and updating approaches to organizing transportation. Participants of the meeting considered a number of practical issues in this direction. The focus of the experts was on the implementation of electronic shipping documents, including the transition to electronic transport waybills (ETRNs), axle load control, fleet automation, and the modernization of freight equipment.
During the meeting, a presentation of the modern range of KAMAZ vehicles took place. Alexey Veshnyakov, Regional Sales Director for automotive equipment in the Siberian and Far Eastern Federal Districts of the KAMAZ Trading and Finance Company, told the audience about the latest generation K5 trucks, popular models for long-haul and regional transportation, gas-powered equipment, and specialized vehicles. The manufacturing company is expanding its offerings for a wide variety of business tasks — from logistics to construction and road maintenance work. KAMAZ pays special attention to service maintenance, remote monitoring, extended warranty, and a trade-in program for fleet renewal. Additionally, there is an opportunity for carriers to test the equipment. The KAMAZ representative noted that the company is developing a test fleet and invites entrepreneurs to evaluate the equipment in real operating conditions.
In turn Head of “KAMAZ Center Altai” Vadim Abrazumov emphasized that it is important for the company to participate in the formation of a professional and high-quality transportation market. “In the Altai Territory, this type of business is quite strong and well developed, even despite the fact that the region does not have such a raw material base as in many other regions.”, he noted. Vadim Abruzmov said that the enterprise previously worked with European brands, and after their withdrawal from the Russian Federation, it began looking for a long-term direction for development. Ultimately, the company chose KAMAZ, as it considers the combination of price, quality, and brand prospects suitable for the market. “We have been looking at this equipment for a long time. KAMAZ today is one of the most understandable options in terms of price and quality. And this is a long-term cooperation that ensures the reliability of equipment and spare parts supply.”, – said Vadim Abrazumov.
“KAMAZ Center Altai” provides comprehensive and high-quality service. Employees of the dealership regularly undergo training, and the range of original spare parts is expanding. The complex includes a large modern service center, as well as fuel and body shops.
According to Yuri Betenkov, chairman of the Altai Krai Chamber of Commerce and Industry committee on transport and forwarding, such platforms allow the industry community to combine business communication with practical acquaintance with new technologies and equipment. For the transport business, which is currently adapting to digital requirements and looking for ways to renew fleets, this kind of experience exchange becomes one of the effective tools for development.
