Chevrolet Cobalt Full-Scale Production Plant Planned in Azerbaijan by 2027

Construction is progressing on a new full-production-cycle automotive facility in Hajigabul that will manufacture the Chevrolet Chevrolet Cobalt after the project reaches completion in 2027. According to multiple reports published on July 9, the Deputy Minister of Investments, Industry, and Trade of Uzbekistan stated that the facility is being developed jointly by Azermash CP and JSC Uzavtosanoat in Azerbaijan. The project represents the next stage of automotive manufacturing development in the country while maintaining the reported production timeline.

Hajigabul Plant to Transition from SKD Assembly

The Hajigabul manufacturing site has been assembling Chevrolet vehicles and Isuzu buses using semi-knocked-down (SKD) kits since 2022. Once the new production project is commissioned in 2027, the existing operation will transition from SKD assembly to full-scale vehicle manufacturing. This change is expected to enable complete production of the Chevrolet Cobalt at the facility while replacing the current assembly-based manufacturing process with a full-production-cycle operation.
