Ural Automobile Plant has opened a new modern assembly building

The Ural Automobile Plant has opened a new building for the assembly of high-intensity trucks, the company's press service reported on its social networks on May 23. It will use the latest global technologies, said Pavel Yakovlev, General Director of the automobile plant.

The new building will increase the total production capacity by more than 5.5 thousand vehicles per year. Yakovlev explained that the range of trucks produced by Ural with a gross weight from 12 to 48 tons has different manufacturing technologies. Among them, there are cars that require lengthy technological operations for assembly, for which a new body was required.

The project was implemented with the financial support of the Ministry of Industry and Trade of the Russian Federation. The new car assembly building was built in less than two years. According to the company, the uniqueness of the facility lies in the fact that it was designed by Russian specialists (including all technological chains) and is equipped for the most part with domestic technological equipment of the latest generation: robotic complexes, AGV trolleys, the only robotic warehouse in Russia, a mezzanine, etc.

The devil is in the details: the domestic car industry remains not entirely Russian

Localization of cars assembled in the Russian Federation turned out to be significantly lower than the target indicators

On May 21, it was reported that the 50-thousandth Lada Largus car rolled off the assembly line of the Lada Izhevsk automobile plant.
