Government Funding
At the end of November 2015, during a meeting of the working group of the Agency for Strategic Initiatives, 5 companies, including BMG, were selected to participate in the ASI program and gained access to participate in the Investment Lift program [2] . Under this program, “companies can gain access to equity financing, financing of investment plans, as well as guarantee and insurance support for export contracts. The participants of the mechanism can also be provided with administrative and consulting assistance, including when promoting the company and its products in target international markets. ” [3]
Criticism
The media accused the general director of Bakulin Motors Group Alexei Bakulin of the fact that with the help of Vladimir PUTIN, the businessman was trying to get into the Moscow passenger car market. The reason for the accusation was the speech of Alexei Bakulin at a meeting of the Leaders Club
The head of the Volgabas company Alexei Bakulin at the meeting of the Leaders Club complained to Russian President Vladimir Putin that for several years he had not been able to conclude an agreement with the Moscow authorities for the purchase of his buses {{end of quote |
The holding is also accused of delaying the construction of a plant to open in the Sobinsky District of the Vladimir Region.
The head of the company, who had originally promised to launch production of gas-powered buses on the Vladimir land (a plant is being built in the village of Vorsha in the Sobinsky district) by the spring of 2015, announced the complete processing of the initial project of the production plant to work in times of crisis. He drew quite promising development prospects for his enterprise.
In an interview with Kommersant newspaper, the head of the Bakulin Motors Group holding said the reason for the media attacks was the dissatisfaction of competitors with the company's rapid conquest of the market
These claims seem to be interesting in that they are voiced in the media or somehow, but there are no official documents
Not everyone likes it. Like not all competitors like our rapid growth. Hence, probably, negative materials in the media
