• Delivery of commercial vehicle components to Russia to begin immediately

As part of their strategic partnership, Daimler's commercial vehicle division and Russian truck manufacturer Kamaz have signed a contract covering the supply of engines and axles for the Russian company's trucks and buses. As a result, Kamaz will now receive OM 457 truck diesel engines and M 906 bus natural gas engines. The contract also encompasses the delivery of front and rear axles for trucks and buses to the Russian manufacturer, whose headquarters are located in Naberezhnye Chelny in the Russian Republic of Tartastan. The completely assembled components will be supplied to Russia by the Mercedes-Benz plants in Mannheim (engines), Kassel, and Gaggenau (axles).

The partners expect the delivery volume to exceed in a first step 7,000 engines and 15,000 axles per year.

Emphasizing the advantages of the latest partnership project, Stefan E. Buchner, who is responsible for global powertrain, procurement and manufacturing engineering at Daimler Trucks, said: "Our modular component system provides the right solutions for our partner. Through our technological expertise and skill, we are helping Kamaz to expand its strong position on the Russian market."
