UAZ is considering the possibility of organizing the production of the Patriot SUV in the Central African Republic. This was announced by a representative of Sollers, which owns UAZ. "We are exploring this possibility, but that's all for now. It is too early to give any specifics about the details of the project," said the Sollers representative.
Earlier, the Ambassador of the Central African Republic to the Russian Federation, Leon Dodonu-Punagaza, said in an interview with Izvestia that UAZ Patriots would be assembled in the Central African Republic. "UAZ Patriot", specifically, I will tell you, they want to assemble in the Central African Republic. Russian cars are very decent, very strong, such cars are needed in the Central African Republic, because we do not have very good roads. We need exactly "UAZ" - not "Lada", - said the ambassador.
