UAZ

Contents FounderEmblemHistory of UAZ cars Ulyanovsk Automobile Plant (abbreviation UAZ) is an automobile enterprise of the Sollers holding. The specialization is aimed at giving priority to the production of off-road vehicles with all-wheel drive, trucks, and minibuses. The origin of the history of UAZ originates in Soviet times, namely during the Second World War, when during the invasion of the German army into the territory of the USSR, it was decided to urgently evacuate large-scale production organizations, among which was the Stalin Plant (ZIS). It was decided to evacuate the ZIS from Moscow to the city of Ulyanovsk, where the production of shells for Soviet aviation soon began. And in 1942, several ZIS 5 military vehicles were already produced, more trucks, and the production of power units was also introduced. On June 22, 1943, a decision was made by the Soviet authorities to create the Ulyanovsk Automobile Plant. For its development, a huge scale of the territory was allocated. In the same year, the first car, referred to as UlZIS 253, rolled off the assembly line. In 1954, the Department of the Chief Designer was created, initially working with the technical documentation of GAZ. And two years later, a government order to create projects for new types of cars. An innovative technology was created that no other car company owned. The technology consisted in placing the cab above the power unit, which contributed to the increase in the body, while the length itself was kept in the same place. The same 1956 was another important event - entering the market through the export of cars to other countries. The range of production was significantly expanded, the plant specialized in the production of ambulances and vans, in addition to trucks. After the 60s, the question arose of expanding the staff and the most productive capacity in general to increase the production of cars. In the early 70s, production increased, as well as a significant increase in production and a number of models. And in 1974, an experimental model of an electric car was developed. In 1992, the plant was transformed into a joint stock company. At this stage of its development, UAZ is the leading manufacturer of off-road vehicles in Russia. Recognized as a leading Russian manufacturer since 2015. Continues further development in the production of cars. The founder of the Ulyanovsk Automobile Plant was created by the Soviet government. Emblem The laconic form of the emblem, as well as its chrome structure, show minimalism and modernity. The emblem itself is made in the form of a circle with a metal frame, inside and on the sides outside of it, there are stylized wings. Under the emblem is the inscription UAZ in green colors and a special font. This is the company logo. The emblem itself is associated with the spread wings of a proud eagle. This reflects the desire to take off upwards. The history of UAZ cars The first car to roll off the assembly line is the multi-ton truck UlZIS 253 in 1944. The car was equipped with a diesel power unit. In the fall of 1947, the first truck for 1,5 tons of the UAZ AA model was produced. At the end of 1954, the UAZ 69 model debuted. Based on the chassis of this model, the UAZ 450 model with a one-piece body was designed. The converted version in the form of a sanitation vehicle was referred to as the UAZ 450 A. Five years later, the UAZ 450 V was created and produced, which was an 11-seat bus. There was also a converted version of the UAZ 450 D flatbed truck model, which had a two-seater cabin. All converted versions from the UAZ 450 A did not have a side door at the rear of the car, the only exception was the UAZ 450 V. In 1960, the UAZ 460 off-road vehicle was produced. The advantage of the car was a spar frame and a powerful power unit from the GAZ 21 model. A year later, a rear-wheel drive truck UAZ 451 D, as well as a van model 451, were produced. The development of a sanitary model of a car capable of being operated in severe frosts down to -60 degrees is underway. The 450/451 D models were soon replaced by a new model of the UAZ 452 D light truck. The main characteristics of the car were a 4-stroke power unit, a two-seat cab, and a body made of wood. 1974 was not only the year of UAZ productivity, but also the creation of an innovative project to create an experimental electric car model U131. The number of models produced was slightly small - 5 units. The car was created on the basis of the chassis from the 452 model. The asynchronous power unit was three-phase, and the battery was more than half charged in less than an hour. 1985 is characterized by the release of the 3151 model, which has good technical data. Also noteworthy was a powerful power unit with a speed of 120 km / h. The jaguar or the UAZ 3907 model had a special body equipped with sealed doors that closed. A special difference from all other cars was that it was a project of a military car floating in the water. A modified version of the 31514 saw the world in 1992, equipped with an economical powertrain and an improved car exterior. The Bars model or the modernized 3151 was released in 1999. There were no special changes, except for a slightly modified design of the car, since it was longer, and the power unit. The Hunter SUV model replaced the 3151 in 2003. A station wagon with a cloth top (the original version had a metal top). One of the latest models is the Patriot, which has the introduction of newer technologies. The very design and technical characteristics clearly separate it from the previous released UAZ models. On the basis of this model, the Cargo model was later released. UAZ does not stop its development. As one of the leading Russian automakers, he creates high-quality and reliable cars. Not many models of other auto companies can boast of such durability and service life of cars as UAZ, since cars of those years are still widely used.
