A Prime-Tass report noted that ZMZ is based in Zavolzhye in the Nizhny Novgorod Region and added that, under a 12-month contract, the engines will be used in Iveco Daily buses assembled in China.
The contract is the first with the Chinese company, Lbov said.
Currently ZMZ is testing several Naveco models with engines produced at ZMZ.
Prime-Tass added that Naveco is a joint venture created by Italy’s Iveco and China’s Nanco automobile corporation – the latter now owns UK carmaker Rover.
