Russian engine manufacturers sign contract to supply gas turbines to Brazil
[Presenter] Samara-based engine manufacturers have signed an international contract. They will supply aircraft
engine-based gas turbines to Brazil. Brazil customers say they are impressed by the price and quality of the Russian
product. For example, in neighbouring Argentina 12 gas pumping stations operate using the Samara engine. Instead of
33,000 hours of service they have already worked for 50,000 and have not had a single failure.
In Sao Paulo Russian engine manufacturers will be entrusted with restoring an energy unit at an oil refinery.
[(?Alexandro Porto Gadelha), captioned as commercial director of Nuklep, in Portuguese with Russian translation
superimposed] It is very important that our cooperation looks to the future. The next 15 years will see considerable
investment in Brazil's power generation sector and our company, Petrobras [ as received], will be at the forefront
of these changes. And Samara will be meeting our demand in these turbines.
[Lyudmila Golubeyeva, Motorostroitel deputy general director] What US companies offer is based on certain standards
of block and module assembly units that they stick to. Generally speaking, if the Motorostroitel open joint-stock
company is given the task of fitting a power plant within the existing space, we are ready to consider such projects,
while American companies are not.
