CHTZ-URALTRAC, LLC, a subsidiary of the Uralvagonzavod Research and Production Corporation, will set up its first equipment in the Republic of Abkhazia, whose independence was recognized by a number of nations in 2008.

The corporation’s press office told RusBusinessNews that energy firms in the Caucasus have purchased a B-10M bulldozer equipped with a 16-ton winch from CHTZ-URALTRAC. That unit will be used to install electric transmission towers.

In recent years, CHTZ-URALTRAC has significantly increased its exports of tractors and tractor-based equipment. In 2010 the firm was responsible for 30% of all bulldozers exported from Russia, but this number increased to 70% by 2011.
