SOLLERS has organized the stamping of body components for Atlant and Argo light commercial vehicles in Tatarstan, using galvanized steel from Magnitogorsk Iron and Steel Works (MMK). Investments in the project amounted to 4.3 billion rubles, of which 3.4 billion were provided by the Industrial Development Fund (IDF) on preferential terms.
The stamping of 120 parts, including doors, hoods, roofs, and load-bearing elements, has been localized at the production site. More than 50% of the mass of bodies and cabs is now made from domestic metal. The use of galvanized steel has increased corrosion resistance and geometric accuracy of the structures.
Tooling and control systems were purchased with funds from the IDF, and the launch of production took less than a year.
According to SOLLERS CEO Nikolai Sobolev, this is the first case in the Russian automotive industry when an enterprise restarted after a shutdown has reached such a high level of localization.
In 2023, the IDF allocated 1.7 billion rubles for the organization of diesel engine production for the Atlant, Argo, and UAZ models.
Localization is critical to reducing dependence on imported components. The use of MMK steel reduces logistics costs and strengthens cooperation between industries.
