UAZ plans to increase the production by 19% in 2021

By the end of 2021, Ulyanovsk Automobile Plant plans to produce 41 thousand cars, which is 19% higher than a year ago (34.5 thousand cars). The agency "AUTOSTAT" was informed about it in the press service of "Sollers", by noting that for ten months of this year 34 thousand cars left the assembly line of UAZ - almost the same as for the whole previous year. “UAZ is profitable, has its own customer niche, and the market potential of the plant's model line is still very strong,” the press service of Sollers informs.

As AUTOSTAT reported earlier, in January-October the Ulyanovsk Automobile Plant sold 25,875 vehicles in Russia, which is 2% higher than the indicator for the same period of the previous year. As a result, UAZ's share in the Russian market was 2.0% against 2.1% a year before, according to the AEB. The flagship SUV UAZ "Patriot" remains the brand's bestseller, which was chosen by 10,150 buyers during the reporting period (-13%). Among light commercial vehicles UAZ, the UAZ SGR family is still the leader with 9,588 sold vehicles (+ 11%). The light truck UAZ "Profi" sold 3,205 units, which is 58% higher than a year ago.
