Russian Ural Trucks Delivered To Mexico
 Mikhail Belyat - RIA Novosti
 The Mexican Ministry of Navy has signed a contract with the Ural automaker to deliver a new batch of Russian trucks to Mexico, Alexei Kovalev, the head of the Ural plant delegation, said to RIA Novosti.
At issue is the delivery of 22 Russian trucks. The first agreement to purchase 52 Ural trucks was concluded last June.
Over this period, Russian trucks have won a good reputation with Mexican cross-country drivers.
According to Mr. Kovalev, the trucks were purchased for the Mexican Navy and used in the hardly passable areas having no byroads.
Mexican seamen now trust Russian trucks so much that Ural trucks are now heading from Mexico for Indonesia onboard two amphibious ships to assist in eliminating the consequences of the tsunami.
According to the chief of the Urals delegation, the excellent recommendations that the Mexicans gave to the Russian trucks made it possible to sign another contract and to make real plans of further cooperation.
These plans in particular include the project to set up a plant to assemble Urals trucks in Mexico. An agreement to the effect was reached at a meeting between the Russian and Mexican presidents in Mexico in June 2004.
Besides the military, the trucks aroused interest of the governments of the Guanajuato and Oaxaca states. The Ural trucks are expected to deliver humanitarian cargoes to Indian communities living in high mountains and in remote areas accessible only by helicopters. Besides, they will carry coffee harvest from the plantations on the mountain slopes. |
