The projects were assessed by a professional jury composed of top executives from major enterprises, relevant consultants, journalists, and experts of 1C Company.

The design engineers from the KAMAZ development block, who worked out the project with an economic effect of one million roubles, were instructed to continue their work.

At the meeting of the investment committee chaired by Development Director of KAMAZ Irek Gumerov, the results of the team's work were announced. Owing to the consolidating of the contents of six service books for Euro-4 vehicles into one, it was possible to save more than one million roubles in the printing house.

The idea was supported by Financial Director of KAMAZ Andrey Maksimov. When starting this format of the service books, one can forget about printing costs. The project is planned to be implemented for vehicles with Euro-5 engines and higher. The project implementation team has already been formed; it also comprised new experts.

Tatneft has completed the scheduled overhaul of the TANECO oil refinery. Repair work on the process units took place from April 15 to May 14. Starting from May 15, pre-commissioning activities have been carried out at all TANECO facilities to bring them to design process conditions.

This task became possible due to careful preparation for the repair period, as well as well-coordinated and professional work of the management, experts of Tatneft, TANECO, and contractors.

During the overhaul period, a set of measures has been implemented, aimed at ensuring the long-term, safe, and reliable operation of the TANECO complex equipment. This includes the re-equipment of the railway overpass for oil products filling at TANECO, which makes it possible to ensure environmentally safe filling of petroleum products using computer-aided procedures with the required performance level. Moreover, as part of the retrofitting and upgrading, the bulk of construction and installation work have been completed at the truck-loading platform for oil products.

The work done during the overhaul period would essentially improve the efficiency of existing facilities. The company plans to proceed to a five-year inter-repair run.
