Korman Victor Biography

Most of the South Ural delegation was made up of employees of the Ural Automobile Plant, one of the country's leading engineering enterprises. We talk about the solved tasks of the car factory and its tasks promising with the general director of the Ural Automobile Plant Viktor Korman. Now it sounds less and less. How do you characterize the position of the Ural Automobile Plant - did he get out of the crisis?

Although, as you know, in any minus there is a plus. The old expression that “difficulties tempers” sounded, sounds and will sound relevant yesterday and today and tomorrow. Yes, the last crisis hit the automotive industry very powerfully.

Today the market is restored. Demand for our equipment grew mainly in the domestic market, although last year Ural cars were supplied to more than 20 countries of long and neighboring countries, including Africa, Latin America, and the CIS countries. By the way, the full restoration of the truck market to the level of years is expected by us by the year. And what are the forecasts for the development of the latter?

And in this sector there was a much slower recovery in the post -crisis period. The reason was mainly curtailing investment programs. But there are no minuses without pluses. Since in the corporate sector the structure of the acquisition of trucks depends on the volume of investments, and they were curtailed in the crisis, the choice was ultimately made towards domestic brands, which today noticeably pulled up in quality, while maintaining the democracy of prices.

This is the bar that gives a significant difference in situations in these two markets. Restoring the market to the level of our calculations will occur by years. According to the most likely scenario in the year, the volume of the market of trucks over 6 tons will be a thousand pcs. I note that our forecasts coincide with the forecasts of market development specified in the development strategies of up to a year prepared by the Government of the Russian Federation.

In an interview, you said that the plant plans to enter the three engineering enterprises of Russia. But the main thing is that ambitious plans are implemented. Therefore, those plans and tasks that we set for ourselves are strictly implemented. Based on these indicators, you can roughly evaluate the ambitiousness of our future plans. Chelyabinsk today.
