Russia: Gazprom, KAMAZ Develop Gas-Fueled Rally Truck

The Gazprom Management Committee Chairman Alexey Miller met last week with the founder of the KAMAZ Master rally raid team Semyon Yakubov and the team leader Vladimir Chagin at the company’s headquarters.

The team participants presented a gas-fueled KAMAZ project being executed jointly with Gazprom to promote natural gas use as a vehicle fuel. KAMAZ Master has designed a special model of a gas-driven KAMAZ sport truck for the Silk Way Rally.

“This is an interesting project and a wonderful opportunity to promote NGV fuel. It will clearly show that gas may be used not only by conventional motor vehicles, but also by rally trucks,” said Alexey Miller.

After the meeting Alexey Miller inspected the KAMAZ upgraded model. Its team comprised of Sergey Kupriyanov, Press Secretary of the Gazprom Management Committee Chairman, Alexander Kupriyanov and Anatoly Tanin will take part in Silk Way that will begin with a ceremonial start on July 5 in the Red Square, Moscow.
