“ROSATOM, in collaboration with leading Russian and international companies in the hydrogen technology industry, is actively involved in the development of hydrogen fuel cell-based transportation projects in Russia’s Far East and other regions. We believe that hydrogen technology in passenger and freight transportation is particularly promising, with the potential to significantly contribute to the Sakhalin Region’s decarbonization ambitions. Without a doubt, the involvement of such a major player in the project as KAMAZ will provide a new impetus to the development of the hydrogen economy on the island, where the first significant projects of this type are expected to be implemented in the near future “Rusatom Overseas JSC Vice President for Marketing and Business Development Anton Moskvin said.
“One of our company’s goals is to diversify output as much as possible, which means we’re always looking for new possibilities. KAMAZ consistently monitors worldwide mechanical engineering trends, including those in hydrogen transportation, when developing its product line. Despite the fact that this is a new trend, KAMAZ, with its extensive expertise and capabilities in the creation of innovative vehicles, is ready to collaborate with market leaders and big businesses, confident in the effectiveness of such collaboration.
