'The potential of AMUR car factory’s project related to assembling of ten- and twenty-ton dumpers is hard to gauge yet. We have to wait till we see at least one truck made by the factory before talking of the future of the project,’ the spokesperson for GAZ Group (the holding AMUR car factory is part of) said to a UrBC reporter.

The factory is planning to assemble ten- and twenty-ton dumpers supplied by FAW, a Chinese enterprise. The project has been estimated to require $1m worth of investments. Some experts believe AMUR won’t be able to win any share of the Russian truck and dumper market to speak of, as it has some strong players (KAMAZ and Ural Car Factory) already.
