The best light-duty vehicle driver was selected at the KAMAZ logistics center.

A professional skills competition was held in the parking lot of the KAMAZ PJSC Transport Logistics Department. The event's organizers—the department's management and trade union committee—invited anyone interested to test their knowledge and skills. Eleven people participated.

"The competition isn't just a challenge; it's always an opportunity to gain new knowledge and improve your professional skills," emphasized Alexander Marakin, Director of the Transport Logistics Department, welcoming the participants. According to the event's rules, all drivers first had to pass a test on their knowledge of traffic rules. Each incorrect answer resulted in a 10-second penalty, and the final score for this stage was added to the driving time during the practice session. The organizers made the track as challenging as possible, incorporating elements such as the "Snake," "Overpass," "Onion," "Garage," "Parking," and "Curb." Drivers performed these maneuvers in Lada Largus vehicles. Successfully completing the course required maximum concentration, precision, and confidence in driving.

The best result across the two stages—3 minutes 38 seconds—was achieved by Ramil Anasov, who has been working at the logistics center for just under a year. Liana Kotova took silver, and Alexander Malyasev took third place. The winner and runners-up received valuable gifts, and the participants received incentive prizes.

One of the largest FTL transport companies, Technology of Movement, successfully completed a test run of the KAMAZ-54901 vehicle.

A KAMAZ-54901 tractor unit, the latest generation K5, served in a transport company's fleet for a month. The truck was used to deliver dairy products from Moscow to Rubtsovsk (Altai Krai). During the test run, the truck covered nearly 30,000 km.

"The vehicle left a positive impression. The cabin is warm, and even at low temperatures outside, a comfortable microclimate is maintained. The truck has good road holding, holds firmly on the highway, and doesn't sway on uneven surfaces or mountain passes, while the steering doesn't lurch or pull to one side. The engine is powerful: the vehicle climbs well and allows for effortless overtaking. I'd also like to highlight the advanced cabin interior and the large multimedia screen, which looks modern and functional," said Evgeny Teterin, driver for the Technology of Movement transport company, following the trip.

It's worth noting that Tekhnologiya Dvizheniya (Motion Technology) has its own "Long-Haul School," where new drivers are trained in fuel-efficient driving and proper vehicle operation. According to its director, Alexander Novikov, the KAMAZ-54901 truck tractor has become significantly more modern than its predecessors. "The controls have become more responsive, and the engine brake and cruise control function correctly. Overall, the truck feels more comfortable to drive on the highway, and it handles long haul routes with confidence. Almost all of our drivers note that the KAMAZ-54901 is significantly different from previous generations of KAMAZ trucks," noted Alexander Novikov.

The KAMAZ-54901 is equipped with a new KAMAZ-910.52–460 (Euro 5) engine with a displacement of 13 liters, a power output of 482 hp, and a torque of 2,403 Nm. The use of modern, high-tech design solutions has increased the service interval to 120,000 km and the engine life to 1.5 million km, while reducing fuel consumption by 10% compared to previous-generation vehicles. The KAMAZ-54901 truck is equipped with a new 12-speed robotic transmission, featuring low noise and high efficiency, reducing fuel consumption.

A professional skills competition among mentors was held at the KAMAZ PJSC forging plant.

This is the second time the forge plant has held this competition. This year, 17 people decided to test their skills. Vladimir Davydov, the winner of last year's competition and a machine tool and manipulator adjuster with control units from the stamping and tooling department, was invited to participate without any qualifications. "Competition participants are typically experienced individuals who have been mentoring new employees for years. This time, there were more competitors," said Nadezhda Sharavyova, Chief HR Development Specialist.

Participants had to answer 15 questions in the theoretical part. The organizers prepared the test based on the KAMAZ mentoring program. They had half an hour to complete the task, but the mentors completed it in half the time. In the second part, participants watched two clips from the cartoons "Catch a Wave" and "Kung Fu Panda." In the first, the mentor, penguin Zeke, despite making mistakes, tried to teach the main character, Cody, how to properly build a surfboard. The second mentor, Master Shifu, was reluctant to take on the panda, setting him challenges that he failed. Participants had to note all the details on their checklists: for example, whether the training location and time were chosen correctly, and what the mentor could have done that would be helpful for the student. Points were awarded for each completed competition task.

Tatyana Lebedeva, a logistics operator at SHIK, took third place in the competition. Instrumentation and automation fitter Denis Kraisman from the Central Metrology Laboratory took second place. Gleb Aleksanov, an electrician at TsRiOOK-5, won.

The awards were presented to the winners by Igor Malyasev, director of the forge plant, and Pavel Volokhov, chairman of the plant's trade union. All winners will represent their plant at the KAMAZ competition.
