AvtoVAZ has announced the complete restoration of technologies in the former workshops of pilot production (OPP) in Togliatti. It was created for the production of small-scale vehicles and the development of methods for producing new models.
The restart of OPP facilities will expand the model range, reduce logistics costs, and improve the quality of small-scale products.
Currently, at the site, AvtoVAZ's subsidiary, JSC "Production of Special Vehicles "VIS-Auto", is engaged in the production of vans and pickups based on Lada Granta and Niva, Niva Bronto SUVs, and various special vehicles.
Currently, "VIS-Auto" is mastering the welding and painting of bodies for the Niva Sport, previously produced at the parent company. In the future, it is planned to establish the assembly of cars here as part of new AvtoVAZ projects.
In 2024, the OPP relaunched the assembly and welding technologies for car bodies, and in early 2025, a modern painting complex was launched.
