Smolensk region agrees increased supplies for Belarusian motorcycle assembly

Vyazma Machine-Building Plant and Belarus's MotoVeloZavod have agreed to increase supplies to maintain stable workloads at their assembly operation in Smolensk Region, Governor Vasily Anokhin said.

A regional economic and investment task force reviewed the delegation's participation in the INNOPROM exhibition in Belarus. Alongside motorcycle production, it discussed road projects and the consumer market.

Regional publications reporting on the meeting put January–July trade growth with Belarus at approximately 11%. Anokhin said the region intended to implement its industrial cooperation agreements.

A Belarusian company is building a section of the Podsnezhniki–Skriporovo road in Smolensk. The sides agreed to examine further use of Belarusian technologies and materials in road construction and reconstruction.

The discussions also covered a Belarusian shop in Smolensk and opportunities for other manufacturers to enter the regional market. The delegation met prospective investors at the exhibition.

Another joint project under discussion would establish a regional taxi-booking service and a fleet of electric taxis in Smolensk Region.
