UAZ Starts Serial Production of Stamped Body Parts for Full Vehicle Lineup

UAZ Begins Serial Production of Stamped Body Parts

On August 18, the Zavolzhsky Motor Plant industrial site began serial production of small stamped body parts intended for the full Ulyanovsk Automobile Plant vehicle lineup. The project is being implemented at the Zavolzhsky branch of UAZ and represents an expansion of its manufacturing capabilities for body-related components. The new production activity is focused on supplying a broad range of stamped parts for vehicles, supporting the company’s requirements across its model range. The initiative is part of ongoing industrial development at the site and strengthens the production base supporting Russia’s UAZ vehicle manufacturing operations.

New Presses and Automated Stamping Equipment

As part of the project, the Zavolzhsky branch of Ulyanovsk Automobile Plant has commissioned universal presses with capacities of up to 100 tons, together with automatic stamping equipment. The installation of this machinery enables the production site to manufacture small stamped body parts in serial volumes for the company’s vehicle lineup. The combination of presses and automated equipment provides the industrial site with dedicated capabilities for producing a wide variety of components. This new manufacturing setup is intended to support the broader production requirements of UAZ vehicles while increasing the range of parts that can be produced at the site.

Production Scale Planned Through 2026

The company plans to significantly expand the scope of the new stamping operation by the end of 2026. According to the project plan, more than 650 types of parts are expected to be produced, with annual output targeted at around 10 million units. This planned scale indicates that the project is designed to support a substantial portion of the component requirements associated with the UAZ vehicle lineup. The expansion of stamping capabilities at the Zavolzhsky site therefore provides additional production capacity for small body components and establishes a larger manufacturing base for serial component output.
