Russian truck maker Kamaz to restart assembly line after break
KAZAN. September 7. KAZINFORM Russia's truck maker Kamaz will restart its main assembly line on Monday after a month-long break, the director of the company's information policy department, Oleg Afansyev, said, Kazinform refers to Itar-Tass.
"The main assembly line suspended on July 29 is ready to begin work at full capacity," he said adding that during the idle period the assembly line underwent routine maintenance.
Against the backdrop of the tumbling demand for trucks Kamaz suspends the production on a sliding schedule to save labour and energy resources, he said.
In January-August Kamaz produced 15,000 trucks. By the end of the year another 10,000 trucks will roll off the assembly line.
"The orders that the company gathered during the idle period would be enough to work in two shifts until the end of the month," Afanasyev said, Kazinform cites Itar-Tass. See www.itar-tass.com for full version.
