President of Tatarstan Rustam Minnikhanov and the khokim (governor) of the Tashkent region Gulyamjon Ibragimov discussed potential areas of cooperation, including the projects of “KAMAZ” in Uzbekistan, during the meeting which was held at the Government House of Tatarstan, reports chelny-biz.ru.

It is expected that another joint venture with “KAMAZ” will be established in Uzbekistan this September.

Earlier this year, “KAMAZ” launched its first batch of trucks at UzAutoTrailer production sites in Jombai city of the Samarkand Region.

The partners plan to deliver about 1,500 vehicles, including natural-gas powered ones, to the market in 2018. The factory has a capacity of manufacturing 2,000 automobiles per year, and this can be increased to 5,000 units.
