Rosspetsmash proposed not to give state support to the British JCB. Russian factories fear that foreign excavators will take over the market. Lobby of domestic manufacturers of special machinery and equipment – Association "Rosspetsmash" considers it necessary to discuss the localization of telehandlers and engines for them within the framework of the mechanism of special investment contracts (SPIC). This is stated in the association's letter dated September 30 addressed to the head of the Ministry of Industry and Trade Denis Manturov.
approved in a letter signed by the chairman of the board of directors of the association and co-owner of the Rostselmash combine plant; Konstantin Babkin. The conclusion of such a contract could "significantly change the rules of the game in the market," admits Rosspetsmash. The letter notes that the competition is highly likely to be won by one of the large foreign concerns, which, instead of investing in localization, training of designers, engineering and scientific personnel, will direct funds to promote its products on the Russian market.
