The vehicle fleet of Kazpost JSC received ten new KAMAZ-54901 freight trucks. Another 16 analogous vehicles will have been delivered to the company by the end of April.

The state and reliability of the vehicle fleet is crucial for transportation and delivery and Kazpost’s fulfilment of its obligations to clients. Therefore we systematically renew our technical resources, reduce wear-out of the vehicles, minimize operational costs, improve the drivers’ working conditions. And, what’s important, we reduce time of transportation and delivery,” told Zhanbota Bukenov, Managing Director for Network Operations of Kazpost JSC.
