BEIJING, March 30. /TASS/. The imported construction equipment portfolio of Avtodor Leasing, a subsidiary of Avtodor State Company, has reached 13 bln rubles ($168.7 mln), Chairman of the state company Vyacheslav Petushenko said in an interview with TASS on Thursday.

"The economic element on ensuring equipment supplies to Russia" is one of the targets of the visit by the company’s delegation to China, he said, adding that "current restrictions on supplies to Russia cover particularly those products that are not produced." "Due to this starting last year we quite actively work with Chinese producers of road-building machinery," Petushenko noted.

"Regarding Avtodor Leasing requests totally worth around 13 bln rubles have been received by now. This is the demand for foreign road-building machinery," he said, adding that this amounts to over 1,000 units.

Asked whether China will be able to meet such a portfolio of orders, Avtodor Chairman said: "I think yes, and easily.".
