LUKOIL TO SUPPLY OILS TO AVTOTOR FACTORY IN KALININGRAD

Under a contract signed with Avtotor Holding, LUKOIL will supply the Kaliningrad automobile factory with lubricants for the assembly-line priming of the small diesel engines of a new model range. The synthetic motor oils from LUKOIL will be used in modern diesel engines having a capacity of 1.5 kilowatt to 56 kilowatt and employed in various industries.

“In 2016, we began manufacturing Avtotor-branded low-powered engines for construction equipment, storage and farm machinery, load carriers and small vessels. Avtotor would like to see a broader supply network for quality components and materials required for the new project. LUKOIL was chosen as a supplier after the Russian-manufactured oil had been successfully tested in the new engines”, Alexander Sorokin, General Director of Avtotor Holding, commented.

“We are pleased that Avtotor, Russia’s biggest multi-brand automaker, chose a LUKOIL lubricant of all others for the new project. Earlier, we had supplied lubes for the priming of some foreign-branded cars turned out in Kaliningrad. We hope that anytime soon we will offer to Avtotor other interesting options for cooperation”, Maxim Donde, General Director of LUKOIL Lubricants Company, noted.
