UAZ returns to the Angola market

Ulyanovsk Automobile Plant resumed its presence in the Angola market, where sales of the flagship UAZ Patriot SUV began. The cars delivered to the republic from a trial lot were demonstrated to potential customers who showed the great interest in the model, the press service of the automaker reports. Thus, as a part of the systematic implementation of the export development strategy, UAZ continues to expand its sales geography. In parallel with promoting the brand in the countries of South and North America with a high level of socio-economic development - Chile, Mexico, the USA - UAZ seeks to consolidate its success on the African continent.

A new direction in this region is the Republic of Angola, which reopened the borders for the Ulyanovsk brand after an 18-year break in cooperation. “The developing countries of Africa have long been considered the traditional prerogative of UAZ. Reliable and unpretentious vehicles, ready for the most severe operating conditions, are required and are successful here. Angola, as one of the largest markets on the mainland, is currently experiencing dynamic development. And we are returning to the country, where we have been virtually absent since 2003, with new products capable of realizing their potential in the harsh African conditions,” said Alexey Zabolotnov, head of UAZ export sales department.

According to him, UAZ's export development strategy also provides for further expansion to the African continent. In the future, the whole range of UAZ will be presented in the market of the Republic of Angola.
