Car giant Togliatti wants to equip cars with automatic transmissions again. This could happen in 2024. In addition, top management plans to return some electronic security systems.
The head of AvtoVAZ, Maxim Sokolov, said that in a year the plant would again produce cars with automatic transmissions and ESP systems. However, there are no specifics. Previously, Togliatti had a robot transmission, as well as a variator and hydromechanics from Jatco. The “robot” with a single-plate clutch was often scolded, so it was quietly removed. The other two units are unlikely to return to the assembly line due to EU sanctions. Therefore, suppose that the company negotiates with Chinese manufacturers of components and assemblies. They already have solutions. Engineers just need to “make friends” with the engine and transmission. This can be done in 1-1.5 years.
The factory needs new technologies because it wants to update the lineup. For example, to release a crossover based on LADA Vesta. And the novelty must have the right level of comfort and safety.
