In the framework of the coordinating council KAMAZ and Severstal agreed the Program of development of vehicle designs with the use of new types of metal products for 2016-2018. In accordance with this document Severstal will master the manufacture of new types of rolled products with high strength characteristics for the production of KAMAZ trucks. This year Cherepovets metallurgists will supply 50 thousand tons of steel products to KAMAZ.

The parties also discussed the possibility to improve the quality of high-strength steels and the packaging to effectively protect the metal from external factors during supplies. Special attention was paid to the issue of import substitution: prospects to replace products of foreign manufacturers, which supply spars and amps for trucks to the Russian market.
