New Deputy Prime Minister Manturov told what fate awaits the UAZ brand
State Duma deputy from the Ulyanovsk region Alexei Kurinny reported on the results of the meeting with the Minister of Industry and Trade Denis Manturov, who has now also been given the post of Deputy Prime Minister. As a member of the House of Representatives indicated during the conversation, among other things, the fate of the Ulyanovsk Automobile Plant was discussed.

Recall that the odious automaker Vadim Shvetsov went bankrupt by selling his company Sollers Auto, which owned, among others, Ulyanovsk Automobile and Zavolzhsky Motor Plant.

The buyer of the assets was Alter Invest LLC, which turned out to be founded by… the top executives of Sollers himself – Nikolai Sobolev, Zoya Kaika and Viktor Khvesenya. The largest share was taken over by the director of UAZ, Adil Shirinov.

The new old leadership promised the workers’ collective to face all challenges. Moreover, according to managers, the current time will open a new breath for the car factory, thus ensuring economic stability for several years.

That’s just the real sales of “Patriots” and “Hutnters” are now far from being able to open a new breath in the business. In June, sales fell by 44%, and the result of the first half of the year – minus 26%. So from January to June, customers took less than 10,000 cars from car dealers…

However, as Mr. Manturov promised Mr. Kurinny, in the near future UAZ will come to life thanks to a powerful stream of state orders: the government plans to increase the number of applications for special modifications of Ulyanovsk off-road vehicles.

It will be difficult for the UAZ people without state support … For example, the AvtoVzglyad portal, which the dealer of the Ulyanovsk Automobile Plant visited, saw that the brand new Patriots give away 3,000,000 rubles each. And with such price tags, it’s hard to count on popularity.
