KAMAZ participated in the VII International Gas Forum (PIGF-2017) held during the Russian Energy Week in Saint Petersburg.
The visitors were demonstrated gas and diesel vehicle KAMAZ-4308, race truck KAMAZ-Master with gas and diesel drive, commercial gas engine by KAMAZ and a mobile mini gas station.
According to the media office of the car building company, an LNG-fuelled truck KAMAZ-65117 participated in the finishing stage of the Blue Corridor rally that coincided with the forum.
At PIGF-2017 experts from all over the world have met to discuss the problems of using natural gas motor fuel and share experience. As was noted by the Gas Motor Equipment Director of PJSC KAMAZ Evgeny Pronin, a member of the KAMAZ delegation at the gas forum, participation in such event is extremely important as this issue required an integrated approach, including the governmental support, development of a regulatory system, promotion of the new product and manufacturing nationalization.
Natural gas becomes a real alternative to conventional fuels. Today, approximately five thousand gas-fuelled KAMAZ trucks are being successfully used in Russia, and more than 50 maintenance shops are certified for maintenance of gas motor equipment.
The VII Saint Petersburg International Gas Forum (PIGF-2017) was held on 3-6 October. The event is the leading forum for discussion of urgent problems of the industry. The forum's participants included top managers of largest oil companies, representatives of innovation centres and design institutes of the country, experts, academicians, directors of field-specific higher educational institutions and research institutes.
