01 October, 2018

“AutoKrAZ” is preparing for shipment a batch of the 6x4 KrAZ-65053 custom-made trucks for supply to one of its traditional markets in Latin America. It is the first supply to new contractor under the Ministry of Agriculture of this country. “KrAZ” had successful collaboration with it in supplies of timber trucks and other special vehicles. The customer is state-owned company under the Ministry of Agriculture specializing in export of citrus and other tropical fruits. The vehicles have been purchased for Project Agricultural Development: Cooperative Rural Development Project in the Oriental Region financed by International Fund for Agricultural Development.

All the vehicles of this batch built against customer’s order have traditional conventional cab and standard mass produced components. The differences include tropicalization, A/C unit in driver cab as option and custom-made 22 cu.m. platform never mounted before on KrAZ chassis.  Platform length is 6 m, sides are 1,5 m high. All metal platform with drop sides is used for hauling bulk loads. Truck sides open in any direction, providing comfort during handling operations. The platforms have been built and developed by partner of “KrAZ”, Ukrainian company OOO “Special Equipment Factory” (Irkliev, Cherkassy region), specializing in production of platforms for various uses and van bodies.

The customer requested to supply kits of spare parts together with trucks such as tires, filters for long trouble-free operation of vehicles.

“AutoKrAZ” has been awarded the contract for supply to this foreign customer due to reasonable price, short delivery period and excellent long-standing reputation of KrAZ trucks in this country in the years since Soviet period, when about 10 00 trucks were supplied and are still used by local companies. Kremenchug trucks in this country are very popular as simple, reliable and strong vehicles and supply of another lot of trucks proves all these advantages of KrAZ brand.
