UAZ vehicles received modernized front axle​

Ulyanovsk Automobile Plant continues to improve its vehicles. The next improvement is a new front axle of improved design, which is equipped with UAZ Patriot, Pickup and Pro 4×4 models from February 1st, 2024. According to the Telegram channel Autopotok, the improved front axle differs from the previous one by additional seals of the axle gearbox crankcase and modernized drives. This has eliminated the ingress of moisture into the main gearcase and the transformation of oil into emulsion, ultimately improving the durability and reliability of the axle gearbox.
By means of its subsidiaries "Avtokomponent" and "Tekhinstrument" UAZ has changed the casting tooling of the axle, and the safety valve has been moved from the axle housing to the crankcase casting, which, in its turn, allowed to reduce overpressure. The cost of UAZ models was not directly affected by the appearance of the improved axle.
As previously reported AUTOSTAT, Ulyanovsk plant from February 1st, 2024 stopped producing modifications of vehicles equipped with Euro-0 engines. Currently, dealers can buy cars of zero ecological class only from earlier dates of release. Increase of the ecological class of vehicles of the whole UAZ model range up to Euro-5 will be carried out step by step during the second and third quarters of the current year. At the moment the final works on calibration of the new electronic control unit of the internal combustion engine are being carried out at the plant in order to meet all the requirements of emission standards. Ulyanovsk Automobile Plant produced 39,453 cars in 2023 - 15% more than a year before.
As noted, also demonstrated the best sales result for the last four years. Thus, last year Russian dealers UAZ increased sales by 9% to 37,412 cars, according to the company. In addition, in 2023, 1,840 UAZ vehicles were sold in foreign markets, namely in the territories of the CIS countries, Asia, Africa, the Middle East, South and Central America.

In 2024, car prices in Russia may increase at the rate of inflation. In this respect reports It’s about the editor-in-chief of “Rossiyskaya Gazeta”, “Behind the Wheel” Maxim Kadakov. He also noted that dealers have accumulated a large number of unsold cars and now is a good time to buy a car.
“Not many cars were sold as stock. According to expert estimates, this is about 200 thousand cars. So who will buy these cars? And no one knows yet how quickly they will be elected. Cars are now sold at a discount and it is clear that demand cannot keep up with supply. Of course, cars will not get cheaper in the future. Now is the time to buy. “At least within a year, their prices will rise to the level of inflation,” Kadakov said.
It happened before that knownIt was stated that in January 2024, new passenger vehicle stocks in the warehouses of major Russian dealers reached the highest level since the beginning of 2022.
For example, the Rolf company has 4.5 thousand cars in its warehouse against 4.2 thousand and 4.3 thousand cars in 2022 and 2023, respectively. The overstock is due to Chinese automakers trying to load dealer warehouses to the maximum by the end of 2023. The stock of such machines reaches two months’ sales volume.
It will take a few months for dealers to sell their excess cars. At the same time, sellers will have to give discounts to buyers.
Previously reportedHe said that dealers started to give discounts on cars worth 300 thousand rubles due to clogging of warehouses.

The revenue growth was due to the dynamics of truck sales in the domestic market, increased demand for the flagship of the new generation of K5 vehicles - KAMAZ-54901 and increased sales of passenger vehicles (buses, electric buses) as part of the implementation of the national project "Safe Quality Roads" and other federal projects.

"In 2023, KAMAZ was tackling two complex tasks. On the one hand, it was necessary to fine-tune the increased production of all-wheel drive trucks as clearly as possible, and on the other hand, it was necessary to address the issues of increasing the production of K5 generation trucks on a new sanctions-resistant component base.
In 2024, we intend to continue moving forward, implementing the development strategy approved by the Board of Directors and major shareholders in December 2023," said Sergey Kogogin, General Director of PJSC KAMAZ.
