Sergey Kogogin, Director of PJSC "KAMAZ", spoke about the results of import substitution in the automotive industry at a meeting with Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin.
The head of government noted that in 2022, the Russian automotive industry faced serious consequences from sanctions pressure, which presented the automotive industry with the task of import substitution of software used in industry. This concerns various classes of software products for automated design systems, as well as solutions for life cycle support and maintenance. KamAZ has successfully coped with this task in two years.
On your instructions, we, the automakers, united and developed uniform requirements for the necessary software products. Then, with the support of the government through grants, we began the substitution process
He also emphasized that the introduction of artificial intelligence into the production process can significantly speed up the development of new products.
Currently, the company is cooperating with Rosatom in the development of a product lifecycle management system for industrial enterprises called "Sarus."
In addition, KamAZ is participating in the creation of the first domestic electric vehicle platform "Atom". This project involves the development of an electric vehicle that will change the mobile urban environment, offering wide possibilities for personalization and digital interaction with the urban infrastructure.
