On Friday, March 13, a special cancellation ceremony for unique postal products dedicated to the 50th anniversary of the first KAMAZ vehicle was held in Naberezhnye Chelny.

The ceremony took place at the Ayaz Gilyazov Naberezhnye Chelny State Tatar Drama Theater. The special cancellation ceremony was attended by Sergey Kogogin, CEO of KAMAZ PJSC, Nail Magdeev, Mayor of Naberezhnye Chelny, and Svetlana Grishina, Deputy Director of the Federal Postal Service "Tatarstan Pochtasy" of JSC Russian Post.

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.

KAMAZ delivered another 40 new-generation A5 KAMAZ-52222 electric buses to Mosgortrans. Including the additional agreement, the total number of innovative vehicles delivered under the contract reached 440 units.

As a reminder, in February 2025, a contract was signed for the supply of 400 KAMAZ-52222 electric buses to the capital's carrier. The parties later signed an additional agreement providing for the transfer of an additional 40 A5-generation vehicles to expand the Mosgortrans fleet. This contract has been successfully executed.

Last year, a major contract was also signed for the phased delivery of 700 KAMAZ-52222 electric buses to the capital. In 2026, 400 units of this innovative transport will be delivered to the customer, with an additional 300 units following in 2027. As in previous years, the contract stipulates 15 years of manufacturer-provided maintenance and repairs for all delivered vehicles.

Serial production of the fifth-generation KAMAZ-52222 electric buses began in 2025, commissioned by Mosgortrans, Moscow's largest public transport operator. Unlike the 2018 KAMAZ-6282 electric bus, the new model has a range of up to 90 km, is equipped with a more efficient climate control system with electric interior heaters, touch-sensitive door buttons, and an 18% larger route indicator.

The door design has been updated: the sliding doors open outward, eliminating the risk of passengers becoming trapped. The width of the storage area has been increased to 1,380 mm, which meets European standards. A dedicated area for wheelchairs has been provided. Carry-on baggage space has been increased by 15%.

The KAMAZ-52222 passenger compartment features ambient reflected lighting with an adaptive function—cool in the morning, warm in the evening. The new electric bus features a more efficient climate control system with air flow distribution to reduce heat loss, an increased number of heaters, and an air disinfection system.

Safety is ensured by an electronic braking system with ABS, ASR, and a hill hold assist system. KAMAZ engineers have significantly improved the driver's working conditions: the driver's workstation has been enlarged, and the number and range of adjustments in the driver's seat have been increased. New options have been added, such as a heated steering wheel and an electronic handbrake. A unique instrument panel with film-type buttons has also been installed. Other effective solutions have also been implemented. The fully low-floor cabin is designed to accommodate 85 passengers, with 35 seats for seated passengers.

The initiative of JSC DAAZ (a company of the OAT Group, part of KAMAZ) to build new drinking water supply networks is entering a new phase. A roadmap has been signed for the implementation of the construction project "Construction of Drinking Water Supply Networks on the Territory of the DAAZ Industrial Park in Dimitrovgrad, Ulyanovsk Region."

The work will ensure a stable water supply for residents of the IPP DAAZ, DIP Master, as well as the main consumer of HPW (more than 60% of the total consumption), Resurs LLC, which in turn provides heat to the population of the Pervomaysky district of Dimitrovgrad.

DAAZ JSC has launched an important initiative by developing a comprehensive project for the construction of water supply networks in Dimitrovgrad. The developed documentation is planned to be donated to the municipality free of charge for further implementation of this large-scale project. This strategic step is aimed at improving the reliability and quality of this vital public service for every city resident.

The existing water supply infrastructure requires systematic renovation. The construction project developed by specialists from JSC DAAZ provides a comprehensive approach to the construction of new domestic and drinking water supply networks.

Thanks to the joint efforts of JSC DAAZ and the city administration, residents of the DAAZ IPP, DIP Master, and OOO Resurs, which in turn supplies heat to the residents of the Pervomaysky District of Dimitrovgrad, will be able to count on a stable water supply and a reduction in the number of emergency situations. Transferring the completed project to the municipality is a conscious decision by the joint-stock company aimed at accelerating the process and attracting the necessary resources for full-scale implementation. This collaboration will effectively leverage the experience and capabilities of both parties to achieve the common goal of creating a modern and reliable water supply system. Work is expected to begin this summer.

"DAAZ has always recognized its significant role in the life of Dimitrovgrad," noted Elena Gavrilova, CEO of DAAZ. "Our history is inextricably linked with the city's development, and we bear a historical responsibility for maintaining the infrastructure that ensures a comfortable life for residents. The development of this project is our contribution to the future of Dimitrovgrad, a demonstration of our concern for the well-being of current and future generations. We are confident that working together with the municipality will enable us to achieve the best possible results."
