Today in Naberezhnye Chelny in the presence of Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin, the opening production of diesel engines at a joint Russian-American company Cummins Kama. "" This is a landmark for the domestic automotive industry event - the first time in 35 years, Russia has established a new production of diesel engines for trucks that meet the latest requirements, "- proudly stated in a press release of the company" KAMAZ, Russia's largest manufacturer of heavy trucks. In 2006, JSC "KAMAZ" and Concern Cummins Inc. (USA), a global leader in the development of and the production of diesel engines and diesel generator sets, signed the founding documents of the joint venture ZAO Cummins Kama "engine manufacturing standards Euro-3", "Euro-4 and Euro-5" capacity 140-300 hp . for the Russian market. At Cummins engine low fuel consumption, they meet the environmental standards for harmful emissions in the exhaust gases ("Euro 3", "Euro-4 and Euro-5"). The total project cost was 2.7 billion rubles, he should pay off for 6.5 years. According to experts, new engines and increase the value of "Kamaz" almost 5%. According to Vladimir Putin's government anti-crisis program, designed to "KAMAZ" demonstrated its effectiveness. "I in December last year was "KAMAZ", we have outlined an entire program to support the company and the automobile industry, and it all worked, "- he emphasized." We have allocated extra money for the purchase of vehicles for state needs 12.5 billion and an additional 3 billion, of which nearly half went for the purchase of "KAMAZ", - Putin added. In addition, he said the government, "we have sent extra money Rosagroleasing - 25 billion, of which 5 billion to purchase the same technology of the enterprise." "Additionally, given 20 billion rubles for the purchase for urban use throughout the country and on this program," KAMAZ "is also selling its products" - reminded Putin. The Prime Minister expressed cautious confidence that the "KAMAZ" quietly out of the crisis. " Recall, the main shareholder KamAZ - Troika Dialog, which controls 44.4% of the company, the state owns 37.8% of the shares to be transferred to the state corporation Russian Technologies. Moreover, 10% owned concern Daimler. This year KAMAZ, however, like other automakers, was heavy. Following the 2009 "KAMAZ" expected loss "several billion" rubles, said CEO KamAZ Sergey Kogogin. Only the first 9 months of this year net loss KamAZ was 4.3 billion rubles to 2.45 billion profit in rubles in January-September 2008. This year KAMAZ will cut output by half, said Director of the Department of Information Policy Automobile Oleg Afanasiev. In 2008, the plant produced 47 thousand trucks in 2009 is planned that the pipeline will go only 25-28 thousand cars. In this case, the overall drop in truck market, according to Afanasyev, was 80%. During the crisis, the company managed not only to survive but to increase market share to 50%. Besides, was not phased development program, in which, as time and included the establishment of joint production with the concern Cummins Inc. The future plans of "Kamaz" - development of a new car, the gearbox and all-wheel drive platform. "We have investment projects, we need 10 billion rubles. We have already filed an application on the Web" - told reporters Oleg Afanasiev. "Indeed, the anti-crisis measures of enterprise management and government support to be effective," - commented Bank.ru analyst with Bank ZENIT Natalia Tolstosheina. "The quality of Russian trucks, including the" KAMAZ ", as well as passenger cars is inferior to many foreign counterparts. At the same time, management of" KAMAZ "is constantly modernizing production, concludes an agreement on joint production with foreign companies. Such measures can improve the quality of truck KAMAZ. In this case, substantially lower prices than many foreign cars and the development of service network provides KamAZ competitive advantage. Compared with AvtoVAZ, KAMAZ has a higher efficiency, which confirms the financial statements of both companies. In general, an enterprise perspective, given the advantages of "KAMAZ" and implemented management measures to strengthen them, "- said the expert. "Clearly, the future" KazAZA "less vague than the AvtoVAZ - agrees analyst Gazprombank Alexei Astapov." KAMAZ "was the first Russian car manufacturer, which adopted an anti-crisis program. This program is in addition to 10% of staff reductions included the preservation of overcapacity , reducing the investment program, and also suggested that more flexible management of working capital. The company clearly expected production plan on a monthly basis, and then launched pipeline only in accordance with the received orders. reminded of the essential support that the State had the enterprise, increasing the volume of public procurement and raising taxes on imported cars. These measures allowed KamAZ to increase their share of the domestic market from 25% to 50%. Despite a difficult year, "Kamaz" retains considerable potential and growth prospects, which, in particular, was rated German carmaker Daimler, which bought 10% stake in the largest domestic manufacturer of trucks. I believe that in 3-4 years the company will be able to reach pre-crisis level. "AvtoVAZ" - is another story. Initially, the operating efficiency of the producer of passenger cars was lower than that of "KAMAZ and even in the best years of AvtoVAZ has worked with a minimal margin (profit - Ed).. a crisis only "bared" all the internal problems of AvtoVAZ, which had managed to hide. In my opinion, the only logical decision for the company - to restructure power output under cars, for example, the same "Renault", - convinced Astapov.
