Will engines for LADA, Haval and Moskvich cars be unified?

Some experts consider

Will engines for LADA, Haval and Moskvich cars be unified?​

Some experts consider "low level of cooperation between automakers" to be one of the main problems of the Russian automobile industry. Drom.ru correspondent, who attended the presentation of Alexander Gorchakov, the head of Center for analysis and forecasting of the industry NAMI, told about it. He believes that to compete with auto giants from unfriendly countries requires end-to-end unification. With the assistance of Ministry of Industry and Trade (NAMI is a state institute subordinate to the Ministry of Industry and Trade), Russian automakers could have a dialog for the active development of component industry in the country.

And this dialog could start with joint work on power units. Today, each of the manufacturers - AVTOVAZ, Haval, Moskvich, GAZ - work on engines and gearboxes independently. Meanwhile, as Motor.ru writes, referring to the same Gorchakov report, the connecting rod and piston group, turbochargers, drive chains, fuel equipment and other components can be unified. As a result, the auto component industry in the country may get a new argument for development. It is not the first time that such initiatives on unification in the Russian automotive industry have been put forward.

For example, in 2015, representatives of AVTOVAZ, UAZ and other enterprises discussed the idea of end-to-end unification in Zhigulev Valley. At that time, it was about the development and promotion of "smart technologies", about smart "stuffing" for cars. The idea was to unite technological, scientific and financial resources, to create a certain common line of high-tech products capable of competing in the market with foreign manufacturers, and the individuality of each brand to manifest at the stage of putting new models on the assembly line, exercising in the design of these products at the finish line. However, at that time, the matter did not move beyond the discussion of joint opportunities.

Soviet Volga cars will appear in Moscow carsharing service​

Volga cars, namely models GAZ-24 and GAZ-3102, are planned to be launched in the carsharing service this autumn. According to TASS news agency with reference to the PR-director of carsharing service "Citydrive" Yulia Varlamova, in all likelihood, this will happen in September. She explained to journalists that these will be not exactly those rarity "Volga" cars, which were once proud of the domestic, still Soviet, automobile industry, but "improved".

So, having kept the appearance of legendary models and even leaving them rear-wheel drive, much in the technical part has now been redone. For example, the future carsharing cars are equipped with modern powerful engines, working in conjunction with an automatic box. It is not excluded that for driving these cars it will be necessary to additionally instruct young drivers, who have not dealt with these models before. Here, by the way, it is worth remembering that Soviet "Volga" cars were used not only for transportation of party elite and they were valued not only for spacious interior and comfort, but they were frequent participants of auto competitions, being considered a strong competitor.

Therefore, most likely, "Volga" cars in carsharing will appear either in classic rental or in long-term rental. According to AUTOSTAT agency, as of July 1, 20.5 thousand GAZ-24 cars and 189 thousand GAZ-3102 models were registered in Russia as of July 1, 2024.
