MINSK, 13 June (BelTA) – Minsk Automobile Plant (MAZ) intends to open a facility to assemble electric vehicles in the special economic zone in the city of Ufa, Republic of Bashkortostan, Russian Federation, the MAZ press service told BelTA.
Representatives of MAZ and Ufa Tram and Trolleybus Plant (UTTZ) met with representatives of the Development Corporation of the Republic of Bashkortostan (DCRB) in Ufa. The corporation is ready to join the project, which envisages opening a new facility to assemble electric ground vehicles made by MAZ (trolleybuses and electrobuses) in the special economic zone in the city of Ufa as a co-investor.
