Strangely enough, the fresh “loaves” and “tadpoles” suddenly turned out to be less “domestic” than the “pre-crisis” ones, even though the policy of import substitution should theoretically have produced different results. Furthermore, the number of points for localization did not fall within the margin of error at all.
As reported by the Quto portal with reference to the conclusion of the Ministry of Industry and Trade with the calculated level of localization of Russian-made cars, representatives of the so-called old truck series (SGR) of the UAZ brand – the legendary “ Loaves” and “ Tadpoles” – received from 2035 to 2350 points for import substitution. And this indicator for new cars produced in 2023 turned out to be much worse than the rating that the Ministry of Industry and Trade gave to pre-crisis SUVs – in 2022 UAZs scored from 3200 to 3500 points.

And given such a low result, UAZ, to participate in government tenders with the old freight range, will , must receive the same special permission from the ministry as for foreign cars.
