Dear friends, colleagues, like-minded people! Today is our common holiday – ZVEZDA's birthday!
We sincerely congratulate every employee of our large and friendly team: designers, engineers, welders, fitters, testers, department specialists. It is through their talent and dedication that equipment is created that our country can be proud of.
What was this year like for us?
It was a year of incredible concentration of effort, major challenges and true historical victories. What we have achieved together this year:
🔹 Historical crossings: for the first time in history, our all-terrain vehicles made unprecedented overland crossings from Yakutsk to Batagay and back to Yakutsk during the worst of the spring and summer thaw.
🔹 Created the world's first PESAL: A Mobile Expeditionary North-Arctic Lecture Hall was launched based on the ZVEZDA all-terrain vehicle. The route covered 8 300 km (of which 1 300 km were covered in one day!), and the lecture hall was visited by more than 3 000 people.
🔹 Rapid response vehicles: we developed and produced innovative all-terrain vehicles capable of speeds up to 100 km/h with incredibly low fuel consumption – only 30 litres per 100 km.
🔹 Reliability down to −60 °C: our equipment has proven its faultless operation at the "pole of cold" and in the harshest conditions of the Arctic.
🔹 More than 35 modifications and more than 30 patents: a single line of wheeled platforms 6×6, 8×8 and 10×10 (from passenger Arctic buses with up to 36 seats and road trains with a carrying capacity of up to 15 tonnes to drilling rigs and ambulance vehicles), container carriers and refrigerated vehicles, trailers and semi-trailers, which are 98% made of domestic components.
🔹 50 key events: the factory participated in more than 50 major exhibitions, forums and Arctic exercises across the country.
Behind every kilometre covered across Arctic snows, swamps and rivers, behind every tightened bolt and welded seam lies your daily work. Each of you is a hero of our time!
Thank you for your skill, responsibility and team spirit!
Happy birthday, ZVEZDA!
