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.

Delivery of any cargo to the fields.

Translation. Region: Russian Federation –

Cargo delivery to oil fields: how to overcome impassable roads, permafrost, and thousands of kilometers.

KMZ Cargo's expert logistics solutions for the oil, gas, and mining sectors.

Developing mineral deposits is always a race against time and a challenge to the elements. When it comes to the Vankor cluster, Yamal, Taimyr, or Siberia, conventional logistics systems break down. Public roads end where the real work begins.

For companies producing in challenging climates, equipment supply disruptions mean downtime and billions in losses. This is where not just transportation, but a complex engineering challenge comes into play. KMZ Cargo offers a comprehensive solution for legal entities: we deliver cargo to fields on a turnkey basis—from anywhere in Russia and around the world, using a unique arsenal of equipment, from super-heavy Mi-26 helicopters to all-terrain vehicles with low-pressure tires and seasonal winter roads.

Last Mile Logistics: The Main Challenge

The main difficulty in working with deposits lies in the so-called "last mile" (or even "last 200 kilometers"). There are no roads there, and the landscape is a jumble of swamps, taiga, and rocky outcrops.

Traditional "northern delivery" occurs during the short winter navigation window, when the ground freezes deep enough to support multi-ton trucks. However, the needs of modern projects like Vostok Oil require year-round logistics. Cargo arriving via the Northern Sea Route or by rail must be delivered to the field immediately, not six months later.

KMZ Cargo's fleet of vehicles allows us to address this issue comprehensively, combining aviation and ground equipment based on the customer's priorities: urgency, size, weight, and budget.

Air Artery: Mi-8 and Mi-26 Helicopters

When time is counted in days, not months, it comes to the rescue heavy helicopter equipmentKMZ Cargo's fleet includes legendary aircraft, specially upgraded for operation in the Far North.

Mi-26: A "Flying Crane" for Extremely Complex Missions

The Mi-26T is a unique machine, unmatched in the world in terms of lifting capacity among production helicopters. We use it for delivery of large-sized equipment, which cannot be disassembled or transported by land transport.

What we transport. Drilling rigs, crew cabins, excavators, heavy power equipment. Feature: Operating on an external sling allows us to deliver cargo weighing up to 20 tons to locations where helicopter landing is impossible due to terrain or marshy conditions. Case: If your geological exploration team urgently needs a tractor or a drilling rig in a remote area, the Mi-26 will deliver it in a single trip to a location where all-terrain vehicles would take a month.

Mi-8: The North's Workhorse

The Mi-8T and Mi-8MTV-1 helicopters are versatile performers. They are indispensable for the rapid delivery of shift crews, repair teams, and urgent cargo (spare parts, tools, food).

Advantages: High speed, ability to land on unprepared sites, and autonomy. Applications: Rapid monitoring of pipeline conditions, emergency response, and supply of remote well pads.

Ground force: snow and swamp vehicles and all-terrain vehicles

Aviation is fast, but expensive. For regular, scheduled supplies, KMZ Cargo uses a fleet of specialized snow and swamp-going vehicles. These vehicles are designed to handle Russia's rugged terrain: swampy tundra, sticky soil, and taiga.

We use modern all-terrain vehicles with ultra-low pressure tires (for example, Pickup Max models and their equivalents).

Cross-country capability. Tires with a pressure of less than 0.3 kg/cm² do not damage the topsoil or sink into swamps. The vehicles can navigate areas where tracked vehicles would get stuck. Load capacity. All-terrain vehicles can carry 4 to 15 tons of cargo, depending on the model, crossing water obstacles and moving over rocky terrain. Autonomy. Specialized equipment can operate in polar night conditions and at extremely low temperatures, providing shift camps with food, fuel, and building materials regardless of the availability of roads.

Winter roads: a seasonal highway of life

To transport truly large volumes—hundreds of thousands of tons—KMZ Cargo actively uses winter roads and ice crossings.

A winter road is more than just a road; it's a complex engineering structure. We organize convoys of trucks, delivering to the fields:

Large-diameter metal structures and pipes. Reinforced concrete products and building materials for infrastructure construction. Specialized equipment and vehicles arriving via the Northern Sea Route.

Our winter routes can span thousands of kilometers, connecting production bases with oil production facilities in the most remote corners of the Krasnoyarsk Territory and the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug.

Global logistics: from anywhere in the world to the field

KMZ Cargo operates not only in Russia, but also builds multimodal routes Worldwide. We'll handle shipping if your equipment is located in Europe, Asia, or the Americas.

Turnkey global delivery scheme:

International stage. Marine or air transportation To major ports or hubs in the Russian Federation (Murmansk, Arkhangelsk, Vladivostok, St. Petersburg). Delivery across the Atlantic, via the Northern Sea Route, or the Trans-Siberian Railway. Transshipment. Acceptance, customs clearance, and consolidation of cargo at our warehouse facilities. Final delivery. Transportation to the field by one of the methods described above—by helicopter, all-terrain vehicle, or winter road.

Why do legal entities choose KMZ Cargo?

Working with large industrial clients requires more than just a truck, but a systematic approach and impeccable safety:

Reliability in permafrost conditions. Our equipment is adapted to extreme conditions, including extremely low temperatures and polar nights. Rapid response. Thanks to our Mi-8 and Mi-26 helicopters, we can urgently deploy a repair crew or a critical component to an emergency site within 24 hours. Complex, oversized cargo. We don't care about the weight or shape of the cargo. Whether it's a 20-ton module on an Mi-26 external sling or a drilling rig mounted on an all-terrain vehicle, we know how to deliver it. Complete legal security. We work strictly under contracts with legal entities, providing a full package of closing documents.

Conclusion

The development of the North and Siberia continues despite the lack of roads and harsh climate. KMZ Cargo serves as a bridge connecting industrial centers and ports with remote deposits.

Need to deliver a crew, a pipe, or a multi-ton excavator to Payakha, Vankor, or any other field? We have helicopters, all-terrain vehicles, and the experience to get it done on time. Call us to calculate the optimal route for your cargo—from anywhere in the world to your field site.

KMZ Cargo is your reliable partner in extreme logistics.

Translation. Region: Russian Federation –

Source: KAMAZ – An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

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.

Delivery of any cargo along the route Mongolia-Russia-Mongolia.

Translation. Region: Russian Federation –

Source: KMZ Cargo – KMZ CARGO –

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

KMZ Cargo: professional logistics provider for all types of cargo delivery to Mongolia.

In today's world, international freight transport requires more than just transportation; it requires complex logistical integration, especially when it comes to destinations like Mongolia. Geographical features, climate conditions, and the specifics of the local market make shipping cargo to this country a challenge even for experienced companies. This is where KMZ Cargo, a subsidiary of the military-industrial holding company Kingisepp Machine-Building Plant, comes into play, quickly establishing itself as a reliable operator on the Russia-Mongolia route.

From defense industry to premium logistics.

The history of KMZ Cargo began in the spring of 2024, when the multi-industry holding company Kingisepp Machine-Building Plant (KMZ) decided to spin off its transportation and logistics services into a separate business unit. The parent company boasts 11 years of experience serving the Russian Ministry of Defense, the status of prime contractor for state defense contracts, and its membership in the United Shipbuilding Corporation.

KMZ Cargo was initially created to serve the holding's internal needs—the transportation of oversized cargo, such as boats, yachts, ships, diesel generators, and test rigs. However, as the company's CEO, Tatyana Damaskina, notes, "it quickly became clear that its expertise, particularly in air freight, was in demand beyond its colleagues in the mechanical engineering industry."

Full range of services for the Mongolian destination.

Today, KMZ Cargo offers a comprehensive service, which is especially valuable when working with Mongolia, a landlocked country with a complex transportation infrastructure. The company is ready to provide door-to-door delivery using all available modes of transport.

Automobile transportation

Road transport remains the primary delivery method in Mongolia, especially to remote areas and provinces. KMZ Cargo operates its own fleet of vehicles, guaranteeing quality control and on-time delivery. "We ensure the reliability and safety of every delivery thanks to professional drivers and meticulous vehicle maintenance," the company emphasizes.

Rail transportation

The Mongolian Railway (UBZhD) connects Russia with China, and this route is actively used for large-scale cargo shipments. KMZ Cargo processes SMGS consignment notes, which helps standardize the transportation process across the 1520 mm gauge railway network. According to international agreements, shipments to Mongolia can be processed according to SMGS rules, significantly simplifying the paperwork.

Sea and river transportation

Despite Mongolia being landlocked, the company actively utilizes multimodal solutions: cargo is delivered by sea to ports in the Far East (Vladivostok, Nakhodka, and Vostochny), and then transshipped onto rail platforms or trucks for the final leg of the journey to Mongolia. The company has experience working with port stations and ferry crossings, enabling it to build complex logistics chains.

Air transportation

When the urgency is critical, aviation comes to the rescue. KMZ Cargo has expertise in air transportation, including deliveries to Ulaanbaatar and other cities in Mongolia with airports capable of handling cargo flights.

Multimodal transportation

Complex routes are the company's specialty. Combining different modes of transport allows for cost-effective and time-efficient delivery, which is especially relevant for consolidated cargo or large infrastructure projects in Mongolia.

Cargo specifics: from flowers to reactor parts.

KMZ Cargo's uniqueness lies in the fact that it doesn't just transport boxes; it handles cargo of any complexity. Tatyana Damaskina emphasizes: "Now, this seemingly young company can transport, without exaggeration, all types of cargo: from flowers and animals to engines and nuclear reactor parts."

This opens up a wide range of opportunities for the Mongolian market:

Oversized cargo. Industrial equipment for the mining industry (Mongolia's main economic sector), bulldozers, excavators, and dump trucks. Hazardous cargo. Chemical reagents, fuel, and batteries. Animals and plants. Specialized transportation of livestock or pets. Perishable goods. Food and medicine. Transportation of human remains (by air) is a specialized service requiring special tact and documentation, which the company is also ready to provide.

Why is KMZ Cargo the best choice for shipping to Mongolia?

Defense-grade reliability. The company grew out of a structure serving the defense industry. Quality standards, discipline, and accountability are at the highest level. 24/7 dedicated manager. Each client is assigned a dedicated manager who is always available and knows the global location of their cargo. This is especially important given the time difference between Moscow and Ulaanbaatar. A full range of services. KMZ Cargo handles not only transportation but also packaging, labeling, warehousing, document preparation and approval, including customs clearance. A thorough understanding of the specifics of the SMGS (Small Shipment and Transport Standards) standard. Working with Mongolia requires knowledge of international railway law. The company's experience allows us to correctly process shipments through stations with transhipment, indicating the necessary notations in columns 4 and 8 of the consignment note ("For export by road," "For further transportation," etc.).

A look into the future.

KMZ Cargo isn't resting on its laurels. With strong support from the KMZ defense industry, the company plans to expand its presence in Asia, and Mongolia, as Russia's strategic partner, holds a special place in these plans.

By choosing KMZ Cargo, clients receive more than just a carrier, but a reliable partner capable of solving even the most complex logistics challenges. Whether it's delivering a large shipment of equipment for a uranium mine or transporting the personal belongings of a diplomat's family, the company guarantees that the cargo will arrive in Mongolia on time and safely.
