THE FIRST PIONEER BUS
Have you ever heard about an enterprise called “Yalutorovsky Automobile Plant Public Corporation”? Neither have we until recently. But in fact it can boast a fifty-year old history. It was called a car repair service company which complied with its profile. In 2007 the plant management made a decision to build buses and soon after it launched a pilot machine – a bus called Pioneer. The plant workers claim its development is entirely their brainchild. We are afraid it is far from it. It strongly resembles a Ukrainian BAZ -2215 “Delfin” (Dolphin). Moreover, we can spot a “Delfin” knocked down body behind Pioneer in one of its photos placed at the plant site.
The situation is vague with its economic prospects as well. If “Samotlor” the Gorky Automobile Plant partner, has to survive in automotive industry, we wonder what this new plant counts on.
