Russia, Belarus to combine truck making assets

MINSK, Feb 16 (Reuters) - Belarus will create a joint holding company with Russia that will own stakes in truck makers KAMAZ and MAZ rather than sell MAZ to KAMAZ, Belarus' First Deputy Prime Minister Vladimir Semashko said on Wednesday.

"This is not a sale of plants," he told a goverment meeting. "This is transferring a certain stake into a joint holding company... We will not give up more than 49 percent of MAZ yet." (Reporting by Andrei Makhovsky; Writing by Olzhas Auyezov)
