In Ulyanovsk, a Chinese competitor “Gazelle” will begin to produce

It seems that UAZ has finally found partners from China. And soon Chinese cars will appear on the Ulyanovsk conveyor. So far there is little information on this, but most likely we are talking about a range of light commercial vehicles. Apparently, the Ulyanovsk decided to compete in this way with the Nizhny Novgorod, who until now are hopelessly losing in the battle for a piece of the market pie.

The governor of the Ulyanovsk region, Alexei Russkikh, announced that UAZ will soon start producing vehicles from the Middle Kingdom after meeting with the Chinese Consul General in Kazan, the portal 73online.ru writes.

We are waiting for more specific information at the beginning of May, but it is already clear that we are not talking about cars or SUVs, but about trucks. The contribution of UAZ engineers to these machines will be minimal. In other words, in the first phase of cooperation, we can only talk about the SKD assembly of some small tonnage vehicles. It’s possible we’ll eventually see them under the Sollers brand.

In the competitors of the future novelty of the Russian market, we will write down the Gazelle, which has been haunting the residents of Ulyanovsk for many years. UAZ Profi turned out raw and could not compete with the products of the GAZ Group. But the Chinese analogue, provided a good price, has every chance to put pressure on the traditional market leader.
