Andrey Ignatiev, General Director of Trade and Finance Company KAMAZ, took part in the VI Moscow International Forum Open Innovations held at Skolkovo.
Digital economy is the main theme of the forum this year. Businessmen, scientists, engineers shared their experience in implementation of the "digital" in their activities. Digitalization cannot but effect the automotive industry as a large segment of industry: a vehicle is gradually becoming a digital product. Almost all European trucks in their basic version feature such systems as ABS, ESP, BAS, a lane departure warning system, cruise control.
Speaking in the panel discussion DIGITAL ECONOMY MONOPOLIES. HOW CAN THE STATE ENSURE COMPETITION ON DIGITAL MARKETS, Andrey Ignatiev noted that customers were interested not only in purchasing a vehicle, but also in receiving the whole set of services. And only digitization of all processes – from modeling to after-sales service – can help. Being Russia's largest truck manufacturer, KAMAZ is striving to keep up with the latest information technologies.
