Russian auto concerns KamAZ, UAZ, and AvtoVAZ have announced that they have returned to work after the New Year holidays, which lasted more than a week.
In 2024, KamAZ plans to produce sanction-resistant vehicles for commercial cargo transportation, agriculture, housing and communal services, the construction sector, the oil and gas industry, and other sectors of the Russian economy.
At the same time, production volumes will grow. Only for the fully import-substituted K5, the first units of which in domestic configuration will be fully assembled this year, they will triple. Five thousand partially import-substituted K5s were assembled in 2023, and fifteen thousand K5s will be assembled this year - and some of them will be 100% domestic.
The company will continue to focus on developing promising types of power plants – hybrid, electric, hydrogen. And it will remain committed to the course of autonomization and robotization of its products, new telematics and intelligent security and control platforms for them. This strategy is relevant for the next six years.
With new heavy-duty unmanned dump trucks, K5+ trucks, new families of passenger transport and Kompas cars, carbon-free and highly automated transport, KamAZ plans to earn almost a trillion rubles by 2030.
Another giant, AvtoVAZ, plans to assemble half a million cars in 2024, including the new Russian electric car LADA e-Largus. In 2023, AvtoVAZ broke its ten-year record: more than 374 thousand LADA cars were produced from the assembly lines.
Until 2030, according to its development strategy, AvtoVAZ intends to maintain its leading position in the Russian automotive market, and will be open to partnership projects. The product line will also become more extensive: over six years, it is planned to create and launch into mass production 12 new models in various price segments.
UAZ in 2024 intended to increase production of at least diesel Sollers Argo by more than 50%, and release the first electric Sollers Argo by the end of this year. Work will also continue on the "Electro-loaf". In addition, the mass production of UAZ Patriot and UAZ Pickup cars with Euro-5 engines was announced for 2024.
