At first, it feels nondescript and even a little lonely for a manufacturing complex. A typical Soviet era structure that resembles a fort almost, it speaks about the country’s industrial prowess and more. It looks indestructible most of all, and is home to Kamaz. In what could be termed as an interesting development Russia’s CV industry, the joint venture between Daimler Group and Kamaz Rus has commissioned a new factory adjoining this fort-like structure at Chelny, Tatarstan, Russia. Turning out non-identical twins, the new factory is actually a cab manufacturing setup. With a production capacity of 55,000 units a year when fully functional, the facility has begun manufacturing Mercedes-Benz Actros and Arocs cabs, and cabs for the Russian manufacturer’s new truck ranges.
In fact, German technology has joined forces with Italian design at Naberezhnye Chelny in Tatarstan (Russian Federation). Built with an investment of Euro 200 million, the new cab factory has 700 employees. The MercedesBenz Actros and Arocs cabs it has begun turning out would be sold in the Russian Federation as Kamaz manufactures MercedesBenz Actros and Arocs as part of the joint venture in that fort-like seemingly indestructible manufacturing complex. The new-generation lorry cabs the factory has begun to turn out along-side shares the basic structure with that of the Actros and Arocs cab. These (Kamaz) cabs have been designed by Turin-based Torino Design. Flaunting smart looks outside and inside by Torino, the Kamaz new-generation cabs would be fitted to lorries used for distribution, long-haul operations and quarry as well as construction site activities.
