The Dimitrovgrad Automobile Aggregate Plant (DAAZ, part of the KamAZ structure) received a preferential loan of 3.3 billion rubles from the Industrial Development Fund (IDF) to establish the production of main parts and assemblies of the suspension, as well as the chassis. The corresponding agreement was signed on the sidelines of the "Russia" forum at VDNKh.
We are talking about the production of subframes, as well as front and rear suspension arms. These components will be received by cars of AvtoVAZ, the Moskvich plant and Atom electric cars. According to Yuri Gerasimov, Deputy Head of PJSC KamAZ for auto components, the IDF program will help DAAZ remain among the major Russian manufacturers of parts for cars.
The IDF noted that a total of about 70 billion rubles were provided in the form of preferential loans for 80 automotive projects. In the Ulyanovsk region alone, taking into account the loan for DAAZ, 13 projects were financed for a total amount of 15 billion rubles.
4.2 billion rubles are needed to create production facilities at the Dimitrovgrad plant (including 3.3 billion rubles - borrowed). 450 new employees will be involved in their maintenance.
It was previously reported that Russians can pre-order "Atom" electric cars. Serial production of cars will begin in 2025.
