KAMAZ’ Marketing and Sales Director Ashot Arutyunyan forecasts a pre-crisis level of sales, where “trucks were sold out off the production line.” The demand may be above the offer, he added.

Over the first seven months of the current year, KAMAZ doubled production to 17,604 trucks, Prime-Tass reports. The plant sold 15,300 trucks in the domestic market.
