Belarusian automaker MAZ delivers passenger vehicles to Russia’s Sochi

MINSK, 28 February (BelTA) – The Belarusian automaker MAZ delivered a batch of passenger vehicles to Sochi, BelTA learned from the company's press service.

MAZ continues supplying passenger vehicles running on compressed natural gas to Sochi. "50 MAZ 203 buses were delivered on time, as promised by Ambassador Dmitry Krutoi during negotiations with Deputy Governor of Krasnodar Territory Alexander Ruppel," the press service noted.

The eco-motor pool of the resort city was replenished with 21 middle-class vehicles. "We will send MAZ 206 to rural communities. They are convenient for roads with difficult terrain and are in no way, except for dimensions, inferior to large buses that we use in the city," Sochi Mayor Alexei Kopaigorodsky said.

Minsk Automobile Plant (MAZ) is one of Belarus' largest mechanical engineering companies. It specializes in making heavy-duty trucks, special-purpose vehicles, buses, trolleybuses, and trailing units. MAZ vehicles are compliant with the environmental standards Euro-3, 4, 5, and 6.
