CHETRASHOW Continues
25 August 2006
In Cheboksary, the capital of Russian tractor-building, the sector exhibition CHETRASHOW-2006 took place between the 21st and 22nd of July 2006. It was the fifth product presentation by Promtractor and Concern Tractor Plants. Businessmen from 24 countries (France, Germany, Japan, India, Syria, Iran, Iraq, the UAE, etc.) came to the show. CHETRASHOW-2006 was visited by traditional partners Gazprom, Surgutneftegaz, TNK-BP, Lukoil, Alrosa, Norilsk Nickel, Russian Railways and SUEC (Siberian Coal Energy Company).
The president of Concern Tractor Plants, Mikhail Bolotin, answered the questions of Russian and foreign journalists about the future plans of the new company. During the CHETRASHOW there was a press conference with Concern Tractor Plants' general director of company corporate management, Semion Mlodik. Talking about the development of the holding he said: "The new company Concern Tractor Plants has been set up to provide openness and consolidation at work, to ensure the producing process has less inputs and to create good conditions for going to the world market."
The annual CHETRASHOW is not only a convenient place for the presentation of modern techniques but also a brilliant event for demonstrating CHETRA's abilities.
Traditionally the main part of the CHETRASHOW is the presentation of the latest techniques of the company. For example, in 2005 the star of the show was the 'GHETRA HEAVY', which has an operating power of 590hp. This model is capable of moving constructions with 100t of weight and making complicated movements to an accuracy within centimetres. This year 'CHETRA-9,' the universal utility construction machine 'MKSM'; landrover 'TM-120'; and the complex of repair for pipelayers, multifunction machine for forestry, 'Harvester', were presented to the guests.
The finale of the show was an international contest of bulldozer operators, the 2006 Chetra Cup. The competition of two finalists took place at CHETRASHOW before the eyes of one hundred guests.
