KAMAZ is observing a reduced desire for collaboration from its Eastern counterparts.
Mikhail Matasov, the Deputy General Director at KamAZ, mentioned that the growth strategy of the Russian auto sector highlights collaboration with its Eastern allies, anticipating the transmission of technology into Russia.
Nonetheless, firms in China are unwilling to disseminate know-how or establish mutual ventures.
As per Matasov, Eastern counterparts demonstrate a diminished enthusiasm for technical collaboration, and their reliance on North American actors impedes tighter engagement.
In the past, KAMAZ partnered with Mercedes-Benz Group, which had maintained a shareholding position in the business since 2008. Yet, subsequent to the commencement of the special military operation, the German corporation halted its operations within Russia and divested its ownership stake in KAMAZ.
