For two weeks Dakar Rally and Africa Eco Race have kept us in suspense. We were closely following each stage. We believed in you and waited for your return with trophies.
These races have made the team even stronger. You brought a symbol of victory back in Naberezhnye Chelny, met expectations of your fans, colleagues and partners. You have once again proved that the Russian team is the best in the world, that our vehicles can withstand extreme conditions and compete successfully with the world's leading brands.
On behalf of all KAMAZ employees I thank you for your excellent performance. My words are addressed not only to the crews of the winners, but to all team members whose daily work enabled to achieve this brilliant victory.
