October 23, Pozirk<\/em>.<\/strong> Poor quality and missed delivery deadlines are major problems at the Minsk Automobile Plant (MAZ), Belarus\u2019 leading truck and bus manufacturer, Alaksandar \u0141uka\u0161enka has told officials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The government has failed to get the automaker back on track, \u0141uka\u0161enka said, demanding that officials address problems related to production capacity, accounts payable and inventories, his press office reported.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIf there is no quality or work discipline, and you agree to deliver equipment by a certain deadline but fail to meet it, everything will go down the drain, and others will quickly take your place. You will lose the trust we have built up over decades,\u201d \u0141uka\u0161enka said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The shortcomings are not limited to MAZ but also affect Bie\u0142kamunma\u0161, a manufacturer of electric public transport vehicles, he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last month, MAZ sold 217 new trucks in Russia, down 10.7 percent year on year, ranking fifth among the country\u2019s best-selling truck brands, autostat.ru<\/em> reported earlier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MAZ buses have also faced criticism over fires, with recurring incidents reported in Russia and Kazakhstan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
