A new player has appeared on the Russian truck market — the "Ermolov" plant. Production has been set up in Korolyov near Moscow, and the brand received its name from the surname of founder Oleg Ermolov. The trademark is registered as E.O.V.
The enterprise is an assembly site — essentially a regular hangar where trucks are assembled from ready-made Chinese components: cabs, frames, engines, and chassis elements, the Telegram channel "Trucks and everything in general" reports. The vehicles were developed in China according to proprietary technical specifications, without directly copying existing models.
The lineup includes three models with gross weights of 18, 25, and 32 tons and wheel configurations of 4x2, 6x4, and 8x4. The heaviest chassis is offered with a truck-mounted crane, which is also certified under the "Ermolov" brand, although it is manufactured by China's Henan.
All three models have already been sent for certification — the plan is to obtain approval for 500 units. A fourth model, a four-axle tow truck with a loader, has already been developed.
Prices and production volumes have not yet been determined — "the market will show everything." Not all financial issues have been resolved yet, but the process has been launched.
