The Sollers Group will launch the production of manual transmissions for UAZ SUVs. For these purposes, she received approval from the Industrial Development Fund for a preferential loan. The assembly of the six-speed manual transmission is planned to be launched at the facilities of the Zavolzhsky Motor Plant. The launch is tentatively scheduled for the second quarter of 2024 with a gradual increase in volumes.
