Company managers twelve industrial plants manufacturing automotive components which located in different regions of the country. UAT «United Automotive Technologies » was established in 2008. Company managers twelve industrial plants manufacturing automotive components which located in different regions of the country. ОАО «United Automotive Technologies» brings in investments (including foreign) into Russian automotive Industry, raise competitiveness of manufactured products, extends production line, and as a result , increases business worth. At the present moment the main aim of UAT is formation of the instrument for AVTOVAZ strategy realization of formation automotive component «quasi-branch» around automotive manufacturer and to the highest extent is aiming to mother company activity – AVTOVAZ. Strategic Company’s plans include establishing Joint Ventures with foreign partners, oriented to automotive components production, assembled in Russia within production localization programs Actually UАТ is the first automotive component cluster in Russia 2 3 4 5 Development trends of UAT plants production line Main functional vehicles modules (TIER I) Engine/ Assist systems Body and exterior Chassis Wheels Suspension Bumpers and springs Steering Supporting elements Braking system JV JV Passenger seats Front section Rear section Roof Front doors/rear doors JV JV Development of traditional competencies Front/ rear part Trunk door Windows/glasses Lighting Systems of locks Windscreen wipers Additional equipment Engine Additional power systems Conditioning system Exhaust system Fuel injection Interior JV JV JV JV Electrics Roof Saloon Passenger protection Doors Pedals Acoustic Ventilation JV Power supply Tape recorder Engine control Chassis/actuator Comfort Safety JV JV JV JV Assimilation of new competencies Planning modules for assimilation by UАТ plants Gas exhaust system Steering system Rear suspension modules Lock systems , access system and door modules Front suspension module Braking system Air and fuel electronic engine supply systems Cooling and heat exchanging vehicle systems Planning technologies for assimilation by UAT plants Small stampings Average and big stampings Automotive turning parts Metal Powder metallurgy Aluminum casting Joint Venture Iron castings JV Cimos JV Upset forging technology JV Rubber parts Production JV Cimos 6 The necessity of government support for operating enterprises The plants owned by UAT were built in the beginning of 70-s years of the last century for supplying AVTOVAZ with automotive components. Most of the plants , due to application of the gradation system, used to be town-forming enterprises, which besides of population employment, provided towns with central heating, sewerage and drain waters cleaning. UAT’s plants fulfill their main task by supplying AVTOVAZ conveyer but together with out-of-dating old models «Classics» and minimum volumes of component development for new vehicles modules, plants are loosing production volumes very rapidly. Understanding the situation, Ulyanovsk Region Government and OАО «United Automotive Technologies» signed the agreement about joint project creation «Dimitrovgrad Industrial Park» in Dimitrovgrad town in the manufacturing site of ОАО «DAAZ». ОАО «DAAZ» and a number of plants located in this territory, used to provide 100% of AVTOVAZ volumes on injection and cooling engine systems, heating saloon systems, locks, window regulators, mirrors and so on. The aim of Industrial Park Creation is transformation of UAT’s plants from today-yesterday status into new supplier model, providing in such a way a traditional role of reliable supplier for automotive assembling plants, and the most important point, providing population employment at the expense of creation new jobs instead of the old ones which are going away together with old vehicle models. To solve this task is possible only with the partnership with the leading world famous automotive component manufacturers. Meanwhile, leading automotive manufacturers do not hurry to localize production in Russia, offering direct parts deliveries from their abroad plants. If you were on their place you would do the same, as applicable regulations of 10-s years favor their activities: • concessionary duties (0 to 14%) for components import, as for assembly, so as for resale at after market; • absence of possibility of bringing in government’s investments into energy communications, which are on the plants’ balance; • absence of government support concerning investments into plants’ R&D . A possible way out of this situation can be a federal, regional and local authorities support for the operating plants. 7 Greenfield Development in Samara and Ulyanovsk regions SPECIAL ECONOMIC PORT ZONE (SEPZ) INDUSTRIAL ZONE «ZAVOLZHJE» Project is being realized at government support at expenses of budgetary appropriations from Investment Fund of RF(RF Government directive of 28 August 2009 №1250-р) SPECIAL ECONOMIC ZONE OF INDUSTRIAL TYPE «TOGLIATTI» Territory area 660 Ha REGULATION OF CREATION GEZ ISSUE ✍ Federal law «About Special Economic Zones in Russian Federation» №116-ФЗ of July, 2 , 2005. ✍ RF Government resolution of August, 12, 2010.
