On Thursday, December 29, an agreement was signed between KAMAZ PTC and Bauman Moscow State Technical University to provide a KAMAZ vehicle for research.
The document was signed by Sergey Kogogin, General Director of KAMAZ PTC, and Mikhail Gordin, Rector of Bauman Moscow State Technical University. According to the agreement, a heavy KAMAZ vehicle was delivered to the top Russian technical university for laboratory research and testing of systems developed at the university. The truck is already in a new building, where transport systems can be tested on various stands, for example, under different road conditions and speed modes with no need to be driven on real roads.
The signing took place in the course of a solemn event, during which Moscow Mayor Sergey Sobyanin and Deputy Chairman of the Government of the Russian Federation Dmitry Chernyshenko opened new buildings of the Bauman Moscow State Technical University research cluster, including the R&D engineering center for ground transport and technological systems.
For many years, Bauman Moscow State Technical University has been a partner of KAMAZ. In 2020, a scientific and educational center was opened on the basis of the country's oldest technical university, which works under KAMAZ projects focused on strengthening Russia's technological sovereignty. In the next two years, the volume of innovative research and development work (R&D) was tripled in the interests of KAMAZ and the country. Today, the auto giant and the Moscow State Technical University named after N. E. Bauman are successfully cooperating in a number of areas: these are projects on quarry dump trucks, automotive equipment for the logging industry, all-terrain Arctic vehicles, electric vehicles.
KAMAZ assisted by its partner successfully follows the Strategy for the Development of the automotive industry of the Russian Federation until 2035 aimed at saturating the domestic market with vehicles and creating its own component base. A large-scale program is planned for 2023-2030: on the basis of the KAMAZ-Bauman scientific and educational center, it is planned to implement R&D projects on quarry and dump trucks, bridges and axles for heavy dump trucks and all-terrain vehicles, a line of electromechanical transmissions, heavy multi-axle chassis for cranes, and other areas.
