KamAZ Mulls MAZ

Russian Technologies, the biggest shareholder of top truck maker KamAZ is in talks over a potential acquisition by KamAZ of its Belarussian rival MAZ, KamAZ’s chief executive said Friday.

“We are always interested in either a controlling stake or the 100 percent,” Sergei Kogogin told reporters, adding that the company currently “had no money” to finance the takeover.

Russian Technologies has a 49.9 percent stake in KamAZ, while Germany’s Daimler owns 11 percent.

A Message from The Moscow Times:

Dear readers,

We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."

These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.

We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.

Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.

By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
