In March, Bus Assembly Shop No. 23 at NEFAZ, a KAMAZ subsidiary in Bashkortostan, celebrated its 25th anniversary. It is here that completed NEFAZ buses, trolleybuses, and KAMAZ electric buses are dispatched.
The workshop's origins date back to 2000, when the "Program for the Development of Passenger Buses on the KAMAZ Chassis" was adopted. By 2001, the preparatory and welding shop had already begun operations, followed by the paint and assembly shop a few months later. In 2003, a reorganization took place: the assembly and paint shop was divided into two separate divisions. Bus Assembly Shop No. 23 then became solely responsible for assembly work, the final stage of the production process, where individual parts and assemblies are assembled into finished products.
Based on its main functions, the workshop is divided into seven sections: electrical harness manufacturing, small component subassembly, glazing, advanced model assembly, the main conveyor line, a finishing and finished product delivery section, and a small assembly section.
Today, the workshop employs 705 people, with an average age of 35-40. The primary specialty is mechanical assembly mechanics, along with electrical fitters, automation and process equipment electricians, painters, test drivers, washer-dryers, pickers, transporters, computer operators, storekeepers, and work assigners. All of them work under the supervision and support of the quality departments, the chief designer, and the chief technologist. Foremen staff each post.
The current capacity of the bus assembly plant is approximately 1,600 buses and electric buses per year. A total of 15 passenger vehicle models are assembled here. From 2001 to 2025, 23,290 buses and 2,462 electric buses were manufactured. The plan is to increase production capacity to 3,000 buses per year by 2027.
