Leonid Dolgov, Director of GAZ Group exports:
– This is the first automobile show of GAZ vehicles in Madagascar. Here, together with our partner GAZKAR Automotive, we are displaying our line up of light commercial and medium-duty vehicles with the wheel formula 4 x 4. Due to its unique off-road features, the vehicles are ideal for exploitation in Madagascar where so far many settlements can be reached only through severe off-road terrain.
