In August 2004 there were delivered 50 NEFAZ buses to Kemerovo. Eight months later, in April 2005, Kemerovskay oblast’ purchased 71 more buses. By the way these are buses of brand new design, which have not yet appeared in Naberezhnye Chelny. The deliveries were made on the basis of Kemerovo “Transport” program, which was signed by Aman Tuleev, the head of Kemerovskaya oblast’

The significant role for building commercial ties with Kuzbass played KAMAZ Inc.’ Leasing Department. The region was capable of buying the vehicles as the Department offered the most advantageous leasing schemes. Aman Tuleev approved the offer and thus last year there had been signed two leasing contracts. Another reason why the deliveries were made is that there is KAMAZ service centre in Kemerovo. It is responsible for warranty and technical service of vehicle.

It is notable that this year the buses were purchased without being leased. This was done due to financial support of businessmen and “Vneshtorgbank” OJSC, one of KAMAZ Inc.’s largest shareholders.

“NEFAZ buses can help the region’s Administration follow the policy of qualitative and safe passenger operations,” said Aman Tuleev.
