Haval Launches Second Stamping Line at Tula Plant

Haval Expands Stamping Capacity at Tula Plant

On August 18, Haval launched the Haval Tula stamping line at its plant in the Tula region of Russia, expanding the facility’s manufacturing capabilities. The new production building covers more than 7,000 square meters and was constructed to accommodate the additional equipment. The investment strengthens the plant’s local production infrastructure and gives the facility greater flexibility in handling stamped-component manufacturing. The development is part of the site’s broader full-cycle production model, which combines several major vehicle manufacturing operations within the same location.

Two Stamping Lines Deliver 960 Parts Per Hour

The stamping shop covers more than 18,000 square meters, while the two production lines have a combined capacity of 960 parts per hour. The additional line allows workloads to be redistributed between the existing and newly launched equipment, improving production efficiency. Under the current operating arrangement, the first line runs in two shifts and the second operates in one shift. This setup increases production flexibility while allowing the plant to manage demand across its stamping operations without relying on a single production line.

More Than 80 Types of Stamped Parts

The plant produces more than 80 types of stamped parts, including components used for vehicle bodies and interiors. Adding the second line therefore supports a broad range of locally manufactured parts rather than serving only a narrow component category. The expanded stamping capability can help balance production workloads and support the plant’s wider manufacturing processes. For Haval, greater in-house stamping capacity also strengthens the integration of component production with downstream welding, painting and assembly operations at the same facility.

Full-Cycle Manufacturing Facility

The Haval plant in the Tula region operates as a full-cycle production facility, with stamping, welding, painting, assembly and engine production located on the same site. The facility has an annual production capacity of 150,000 vehicles and occupies more than 190,000 square meters. The second stamping line adds capacity within this established manufacturing structure, supporting the plant’s ability to coordinate component production with other stages of vehicle manufacturing. The expansion consequently increases operational flexibility while reinforcing the site’s role in Haval’s Russian production footprint.

Additional Capacity Supports Production Flexibility

The new stamping line also fits into the broader production structure of Haval in Russia, where the Tula facility brings multiple manufacturing stages together under one operation. By increasing stamping capacity while retaining different shift patterns across the two lines, the plant can distribute workloads according to production requirements. The development does not change the plant’s stated annual vehicle capacity of 150,000 units, but it expands the stamping infrastructure supporting that output. The additional equipment therefore provides greater flexibility within the existing full-cycle manufacturing setup.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the new Haval stamping line at the Tula plant?
The new stamping line expands Haval’s component manufacturing infrastructure at its Tula plant and operates alongside the existing production line to improve workload distribution and flexibility. The two lines have a combined capacity of 960 parts per hour and support production of more than 80 types of stamped components. These include body and interior parts. The Tula facility remains a full-cycle production site covering stamping, welding, painting, assembly and engine manufacturing, with an annual vehicle production capacity of 150,000 units.
