During their visit to the Multinational State of Bolivia KrAZ senior officers had a series of meetings with officials of the Ministry of Industry and Economics, Ministry of Public Works, the Commander-in-Chief and Parliamentary Committee for Industry.    

In the course of bilateral negotiations, it was mentioned that SKD assembly of heavy-duty trucks is a project of high priority for Bolivian state in relation to the policy of Evo Morales, president of the MultinationalState of Bolivia, which is aimed at industrialization and development of high technologies. “AutoKrAZ” fits in economic development plans of the Bolivian government with regard to establishment of assembly plant with high level of domestic content.
