At the end of July, the general manager of the Ulyanovsk Automobile Plant, Adil Shirinov, announced that the company was testing a new gearbox, but then the head of the enterprise did not go into details. Now it turned out that it was not about the “machine” that fans of Ulyanovsk all-terrain vehicles strongly hoped for, but about the simplest “mechanics”, moreover, Chinese.
The car factory in Ulyanovsk already had enough problems before the events in February. And then, as parts suppliers began to leave Russia en masse, there were only more. In particular, the manufacturer had to deal with “transmission” problems: there were interruptions in the supply of boxes from the South Korean company Dymos (“daughter” of Hyundai-Kia) – they had to look for a new partner. Found: as in the case of LADA, in China.
Only now, if the Togliatti people are concerned with the issue of supplying “machine guns”, then the Ulyanovsk people are still looking at the “mechanics”. Compared to Daimos, the Chinese box is cheaper and simpler, Russia’s Automobile Telegram channel reports, citing its own sources. But the specific manufacturer has not yet been disclosed.

In addition, it will cost quite a bit of time and money to adapt the unit, which the car factory already lacks.
