BREST, 25 June (BelTA) – Service stations of the Belarusian automobile engineering company MAZ will be able to repair and provide maintenance for Mercedes engines, BelTA learned from the Belarusian TV channel ONT.

MAZ is working hard to certify its vehicle service stations. Certification will allow MAZ to service Mercedes engines in Belarus, Russia, and Ukraine. Penetrating European markets is an option in the future. Diagnostic equipment and tools have already been delivered to MAZ. Belarusian specialists will have to pass educational courses soon.

According to a MAZ deputy chief designer, Mercedes engines are the most cost-effective and reliable engines in Western Europe. “By relying on them, we get access to sophisticated technologies. It helps promote MAZ vehicles in the Customs Union and in Western Europe. In order to sell sufficient amounts of vehicles powered by Mercedes engines, we have to increase the number of service stations and repair part depots. This is why we have about a dozen of certified service stations and another three are being certified now,” said the source.
