History of the brand LADA (VAZ). Where are vases made? In which city are vases made?

To date, AvtoVAZ designers unexpectedly often began to please domestic owners with new models of cars. Even in the recent past, one had to bitterly regret that there was such a meager production of cars in the homeland. A novelty, about which there is already a lot of talk, has become Lada Vesta. This machine incorporates all the best ideas of foreign analogues. The creators grow in professionalism along with their offspring. “Where is Lada Vesta produced in the Russian Federation?” - such a question is quite appropriate among the townsfolk.

In September 2015, the process of manufacturing the Lada Vesta car started. Two months later, the product is released for sale. At first, the model was considered as another failure, but today Lada Vesta is being bought up in fairly large batches on a par with some foreign cars. The advantages of the car include:

  1. Affordable and reasonable price.
  2. Comfortable conditions inside.
  3. Attractive appearance and sufficient capacity.
  4. The standard assembly now includes ESP and ABS.
  5. The presence of two airbags.

The new Lada Vesta sedan is assembled and produced in Izhevsk, where the Lada Granta liftback is produced. Renault engineers assisted in the development of the body, which was designed using the latest software. The car frame is not inferior in strength Ford Focus. This has already been proven in the first crash tests.

Body assembly and painting Lada Vesta

The main work on welding car parts is provided by robotic precision equipment. However, it is impossible to do without the human presence here. Where Lada Vesta is assembled, each stage of the conveyor is determined by the actions of the workers. They carefully and accurately put the part in the right place. The workers bring the equipment to the areas to be welded.

Painting, which in the past caused great resentment of buyers, now increases its own quality. Working with foreign companies that produce the best engineering products, the Izhevsk automotive industry acquires new materials and technological innovations. First, and then use cataphoretic soil. Most of the process is done by automation, but regular painters are needed to get the job done where clumsy machinery can't turn around.

Final sketch of assembly


  1. Each worker responsible for the production of any small part of the car must approach the matter professionally, and the craftsmen must carefully follow the process.
  2. The creators of Lada Vesta took care to increase comfort in the cabin, using insulating materials against noise and vibration, not only on the bottom and engine, but even on the roof.
  3. The final assembly stage, where Lada Vesta is produced, practically does not differ from a similar process for foreign cars. After painting, the doors are removed, which go to the refinement shop. Without them, it is much easier to assemble the interior. Having put the headlights and a bumper with a radiator, the connection is completed by docking with undercarriage and power unit.

Lada Vesta is made, for the most part, based on the experience of foreign professionals using robotic technology, which is extremely helpful in assembling a quality product. The automaker plans to produce not only sedans, but also a station wagon, as well as a hatchback. The expanded model range will help to approach the number of vehicles planned for 2017.

Many were interested in which plant, other than IzhAvto, would carry out assembly work. In Russia, this place will be ChechenAvto in the city of Argun. Ust-Kamenogorsk "BipekAVto" on Kazakhstani soil will also take up the assembly of Lada Vesta. Thus, the city of Izhevsk will not remain the only representative of the assembly process of this model, capable of producing products from AvtoVAZ.

The history of the origin of the name of the car "Zhiguli"

September 7 marks 40 years since the VAZ-2101 was given the name "Zhiguli".

According to the generally accepted version, the name of the Togliatti car appeared as a result of an all-Union competition announced in the press. In total, there were about 30 thousand letters and telegrams. The State Commission selected eight pieces, and the designer by the name of Cherny suggested another one - the Zhiguli. It was approved by the government.

The first car VAZ-2101 rolls off the assembly line. 1970

However, there is another version, owned by the designer Gennady Lyakhov. In mid-February 1967, the general director of the Volga Automobile Plant and (part-time) Deputy Minister of the Automobile Industry of the USSR Viktor Polyakov set the task for Boris Pospelov, deputy first chief designer of VAZ, to come up with a name for the car that would be produced at the new plant. Two days later, about eight names were put up for voting. To them, at the suggestion of the designer Chernoy, "Zhiguli" was added. As a result of voting in two rounds, the name "Zhiguli" was chosen, which was approved by Polyakov.

But as soon as the Soviet "Zhiguli" began to be produced for export, a problem immediately arose with the word "Zhiguli", familiar to the Russian ear. Foreigners not only could not pronounce it correctly, but it also had obscene consonances in several languages ​​at once!

It was decided to come up with a new name for the export cars of the Volga Automobile Plant. In 1973, a new name "Lada" appeared - beautiful and simple. Now "Lada" is the main brand of AvtoVAZ, which he promotes, calling his developments by new names, but always remaining true to Lada.

Over the past years, AVTOVAZ has created more than 100 models and modifications of cars. A lot of names have also changed: Samara, Bora-21, Niva, Sputnik, OKA, Elf, Gnome, Rapan, Golfcar, Karat, Peter‑Turbo (roadster), Lada‑Aero, Antel, LADA Revolution, Silhouette. Connoisseurs also remember modernized versions with proper names - Yellow Shark, Red Bee (Red Bee), Bullet (Bullet) - exclusive cars based on VAZ‑21106.

The creators of tuning kits also contributed to the creation of a variety of names: Carlota, Nova, Nika, Grossmeister, Lada Bis, Lada Lady, Rally Sport, Apal, Euro, Katran, Courage, Lada TMS, Stealth, Titan, Tom Cat, Tornado, Stayer , Aerokit, Elegance, Everest, Taiga, Oka Lady, AKS, Phantom, Neon, Favorite, Shark, Leon, Niagara, Real, Tracer, Galant, Grand.

In the new millennium, the company has pleased motorists with several new models, which, according to the manufacturer, already meet European standards. So, in 2004, the first car of the Lada Kalina family rolled off the assembly line (models VAZ‑1117, VAZ-1118, VAZ-1119). And in 2007, the country saw the first Priora (factory designation VAZ-2170), which began the family of Russian passenger cars of class "C" according to European classification.

The latest models of AvtoVAZ cars

In Russia, the production of cars of many brands, both domestic and foreign, has been established and is being carried out. At the same time, domestic manufacturers enter into cooperation with foreign brands and provide their facilities for the production of foreign models. So everyone knows the cooperation of AvtoVAZ with the international alliance Renault-Nissan. The Russian concern is the largest car manufacturer in Eastern Europe, and therefore many motorists are interested in what cars are assembled at AvtoVAZ.

AvtoVAZ has been controlled by the Renault-Nissan alliance for several years now, and perhaps due to this fact, the latest AvtoVAZ models have become more competitive. It is they who, through an affiliated company, own more than 50% of the shares of the Russian concern. The second main shareholder is the Rostec State Corporation. Cooperation with the international alliance helped the Russians develop the model range of their own Lada brand and set up the production of cars under the alliance's brands: Renault, Nissan, Datsun.

AvtoVAZ has two main car assembly plants - in Togliatti and IzhAvto in Izhevsk. In fact, the concern owns many factories that are engaged in the production of components and assemblies, but conveyor assembly finished cars takes place in these two large plants.

As of the beginning of 2015, Tolyatti produces five Lada models: Granta, Kalina, Priora, Largus and 4x4. At the same time, the first four models have entire families. So Kalina is available in the bodies of a four-door hatchback, sedan, station wagon and station wagon. off-road cross. Granta currently has sedan and liftback bodies. Priora Model It was produced in the form of a three-door hatchback (Coupe), a five-door hatchback, a sedan and a station wagon. But the three-door body was discontinued at the end of 2014. large station wagon Lada Largus is a joint development with Renault, it is based on the station wagon Dacia Logan MCV. It is available in the form of a van, a full-fledged family station wagon and a cross-country station wagon.

In 2015, serial assembly of completely new models will begin - compact crossover Xray and Vesta sedan. The Xray crossover was developed on the basis of the French-Romanian Renault Duster crossover. Lada Vesta is an independent development of AvtoVAZ. Its full-fledged mass production will begin in October this year at the IzhAvto plant.

Conveyor assembly of sedan models takes place at the IzhAvto plant Lada Granta and liftback Lada Granta GT. At this enterprise, the production line for the production of Lada sedan Vesta.

AvtoVAZ also produces such Renault models as Logan of the first and second generations, hatchback Sandero second generation. The Russian concern also produces new models of Nissan Almera and Sentra sedans. At the same time, the release latest model began in November 2014 at an enterprise in Izhevsk.

Compact Chevrolet SUV Niva was developed entirely by AvtoVAZ, but the concern sold the rights to it to General Motors. This model produced at the joint venture GM-AvtoVAZ in Togliatti. This enterprise is not included in the group's complex in this city.

History of the VAZ brand

By the beginning of the sixties, Zaporozhets, Muscovites, Volga and Pobeda traveled along the roads of the USSR. However, a huge developing country lacked cars. Cars were almost impossible to buy - they were distributed only according to lists at enterprises. Therefore, in July 1966, the Central Committee of the CPSU decided to build a new car factory. He had to become the largest automaker in the country in order to satisfy the need of a Soviet citizen for private car. Thus began the history of the Volga Automobile Plant. The plant was built in record time. It took only three years out of the allotted six. Production equipment for VAZ was manufactured at 844 factories in the USSR, 900 factories in other socialist countries, as well as in Europe and the USA.

History of creation

To build a new modern car plant in Togliatti instructed friendly Soviet Union Italians. The agreement signed by the USSR Ministry of the Automotive Industry with the Fiat concern in August 1966 meant not only the construction of a full-cycle enterprise, but also its equipment, as well as staff training. The new production was named "VAZ" - Volzhsky car factory. To name it by analogy with other factories in the country, for example, Gorky and Ulyanovsk, was not allowed by considerations of political correctness and naming rules: inappropriate jokes would not have been avoided.

The emblem for the VAZ models had to come up with Soviet designers. The idea to place a rook on the badge, as well as the sketch of the future logo itself, belongs to Alexander Dekalenkov, an employee of the capital's management of the plant. The Italians were instructed to make emblems for cars. By the way, there was an incident connected with this. The first three dozen logos were issued by Fiat with an error - instead of the letter "I" in the word "Togliatti", the Italians wrote "R". The curiosity did without scandals - the defective logos were urgently replaced.

Ups and downs

From the first days of work, the Volga auto giant had no problems. The demand for cars was such that sales were limited only by production volumes. Approximately one year later

As you know, the first cars were called "Zhiguli" in honor of the Zhigulva Mountains, on which, by the way, Stenka Razin's uts is located. When Finland rushed to buy cars, she asked to change the name, because in Finnish the word "Zhiguli" has an obscene meaning.

VAZ-2108 / Lada-Sputnik / Lada-Samara - a three-door front-wheel drive hatchback of the Volga Automobile Plant. Produced from December 1984 to October 2003. Its successor is being produced - VAZ-2113, which outwardly differs from 2108 in a modified shape of the front end (wings, hood, optics), other bumpers, the presence of plastic door sills and a spoiler on tailgate. VAZ-21099 - a four-door front-wheel drive sedan developed by the Volga Automobile Plant. In fact, it is a modification of the VAZ-2109 with a sedan body. Serially produced at the AvtoVAZ plant from December 22, 1991 (pre-production versions were produced from 1990) to June 30, 2004. At the moment, it is assembled in Ukraine at the ZAZ plant from Russian car kits with interior design, like the successor model - VAZ-2115.

The history of the most popular car in Russia began in 1966 in the Italian city of Turin with the conclusion of a contract between the USSR Ministry of the Automobile Industry and FIAT. A year after the signing of the contract, the construction of the Volga Automobile Plant (VAZ) began, and three more years later, the first six “penny” models (VAZ-2101), built on the basis of the Italian Fiat-124, left the main conveyor of the VAZ.

In the late 70s, the VAZ lineup was replenished with the all-wheel drive all-terrain vehicle VAZ-2121 or Niva R12, which made a splash on the world market.

After the collapse of the USSR, the industrial giant AvtoVAZ entered a phase of restructuring. The crisis was overcome by the mid-1990s: then domestic manufacturer began to gradually increase the volume of production.

In 1998, the public was introduced to the model 2111, equipped with latest engines with sixteen valves.

The beginning of the new millennium was marked by the release of a new generation car Lada Kalina, as well as the start of production of the VAZ-2107 (Lada Priora) - at first in a sedan, and a little later - a hatchback and station wagon.

Since 2004, the leadership of AvtoVAZ decided to transfer all manufactured cars to a single brand, which they began to write in Latin, not Cyrillic, in accordance with the norms of the Russian language. So, the abbreviation "VAZ" was replaced by a single name "Lada", which was previously used only to designate export versions of the brand. However, the most tags and memorable nicknames for AvtoVAZ products are given by the Russian people. Among the most common slang names, it is worth noting “penny” or “spear” (for VAZ-2101), “four” (for VAZ-2104), “stool” (for VAZ-2105), “chisel” (for VAZ-2108, 2109), "matryoshka" (for VAZ-2112). The disparaging name for all AvtoVAZ vehicles is "basin" (from the abbreviation TAZ - Togliatti Automobile Plant).

Among recent developments is the Lada Granta or VAZ-2190 model. This vehicle is budget sedan, designed on the basis of Lada Kalina.

At the moment JSC "AvtoVAZ" is the largest manufacturer of passenger cars in Russia and Eastern Europe. It is known that Lada cars are the most sought after and the most stolen in the Russian market, despite the extremely low quality of production. The terrifying technical characteristics of the Lada have long been the object of ridicule among motorists. At one of its presentations of the business plan, the AvtoVAZ enterprise itself recognized this fact and explained its origin by the "low quality of purchased components."

Employees of the Togliatti plant with more than twenty years of work experience are awarded the title of "VAZ Veteran" with the appropriate certificate, a badge with the company's logo and a medal of the same name. The author of the first publication in the magazine "Behind the Rulem" about the auto giant under construction in Togliatti was also awarded the title of veteran, although he was not an employee of VAZ. Name of that correspondent: Brodsky Alexander Yakovlevich.

Lineup Lada

The model range of AvtoVAZ is quite diverse. In it you will find about ten models of a small class with various body options (sedan, hatchback, station wagon), five representatives of the small middle class, two all-wheel drive "Niva" in a three-door and five-door version, as well as a Lada Largus van - an economical car for business.

Lada cost

The cost of Lada in the primary market varies from two hundred to five hundred thousand rubles. Most a budget option- the old-school "seven", leading its pedigree from Fiat itself. The small price of Lada 2107 is fully consistent with the content. But it can be repaired without unnecessary difficulties and financial costs, which makes the VAZ 2107 a good choice for novice taxi workers.

  1. Affordable and reasonable price.
  2. Comfortable conditions inside.
  3. Attractive appearance and sufficient capacity.
  4. The standard assembly now includes ESP and ABS.
  5. The presence of two airbags.

The new Lada Vesta sedan is assembled and produced in Izhevsk, where the Lada Granta liftback is produced. Renault engineers assisted in the development of the body, which was designed using the latest software. The frame of the car is not inferior in strength to the Ford Focus. This has already been proven in the first crash tests.

Where is the Lada Vesta Cross assembled in which city?

Hello everyone! Many are still wondering where the Lada Vesta Cross is assembled? Despite the fact that sales of new items began in the fall of 2017, most did not know the answer to their question. And this is a very pertinent question. If earlier one had only to regret that in Russia there are so few own machines, now you can be proud of the fact that new station wagon turned out to be successful and managed to make quite a stir among the public.

Production and assembly of Lada Vesta SV Cross

Lada Vesta Cross is assembled in the city of Izhevsk at the LADA plant (the former IzhAvto plant). Many people think that Lada Vesta Cross is going to Tolyatti, but this is not so. In 2017, the plant was renamed and is currently a subsidiary of AvtoVAZ. At the moment, in addition to Lada Vesta Cross, the Lada Izhevsk plant produces Lada Granta in the Liftback body and the Lada Vesta sedan. I would like to draw your attention to the fact that the plant performs not only assembly, but also other production cycles, such as the production of body panels, stamping, painting, welding and plastic casting.

The body of the Lada Vesta Cross SV is assembled according to modern standards and using high-precision equipment. In terms of safety, Vesta Cross is not inferior to foreign brands, which was already proven in the first crash tests.

Assembly steps

After all the parts are stamped and ready, the body is assembled. For assembly, special robotic equipment is used, but human participation is still indispensable. Where the Lada Vesta Cross is assembled, a person is present at every stage of the assembly.

When the body panels are hung on the body, the painting of the car begins. First, the entire body is completely dipped in a special solution, after which it is covered with soil. Next, the robot paints the entire body. In the final part, the body is sent for quality control, where all painting flaws are manually eliminated.

After assembling the panels and painting the body, the car enters a special conveyor, where it is gradually hung with details. At the stage of assembling the cabin, the doors are unscrewed for convenience, and after completion of work they are hung back in place.

Next, the installation of external mirrors, headlights, radiator grille, moldings, etc. begins. In the final stage, the chassis is connected to the power plant. On this, one can say, the assembly of Lada Vesta SV Cross is over.

Video from the place where Lada Vesta Cross is assembled

We have already answered the question of where the Lada Vesta Cross SV is assembled, but did not show how. In the presented videos you can see how the assembly process takes place.

Where else can Lada Vesta SV Cross be assembled?

In addition to the former IzhAvto plant, it is planned to organize the assembly of Lada Vesta SV Cross at the ChechenAvto plant located in Argun. And the third plant will be "BipekAvto", which is located in Kazakhstan in the city of Ust-Kamenogorsk. Lada Vesta Cross will be the first AvtoVAZ model to be produced at three plants at once in 2018.

Lada Vesta in comparison with frets.

Lada Vesta, in comparison with previous models, looks more interesting and more beautiful.

This article provides a description of the Lada Vesta about the characteristics of the car and its fundamental changes, in comparison with other frets - cars of this family. A small part of the historical facts will also be affected.

Meet the new Lada Vesta. The AvtoVAZ plant in 2015 proposed Russian market car, brand new and, in fact, and technology. Lada Vesta in comparison with frets - previous models, such as Lada Granta, Lada Priora, Lada Kalina, is an absolute step forward. The level of manufacturability and fundamentally new design was well embodied in this car.

Where is Lada Vesta assembled.

So let's start with the specifics. It should be noted where the Lada Vesta is assembled. Oddly enough, cars began to be produced not in the city of Tolyatti, but at Lada-Izhevsk. The release began on September 25, 2015. And on October 22 of the same year, President Vladimir Vladimirovich "run in" a new Russian novelty. According to first impressions, he really liked it, in particular in terms of handling and comfortable interior.

An important criterion worth noting is the fact that only a third of the car is assembled from imported parts. These are the radiator of the engine cooling system, the steering mechanism of the electronic power steering and almost all electronics. Much in Vesta and Russian production. These parts are delivered to Izhevsk directly from the city of Tolyatti. This cannot but rejoice. After all, Lada Vesta wins in comparison with Priora, Grenade, Kalina, it looks more interesting, more beautiful and more reliable. This collect the fret of the new generation. The concept of "X" makes the car recognizable and is a kind of calling card. A very rich palette of body colors does not leave anyone on the sidelines. The grille and headlights stand out especially gracefully. This has not yet produced AvtoVAZ.

Fuel consumption per 100 km.

For country trips and around the city, this car is just wonderful. The driver will be pleased with the economy of Lada Vesta. Fuel consumption per 100 km is low. In the city it is -9.0-9.3 l / 100 km, outside the city - 5.0-5.3 l / 100 km. This car has a deeply modernized engine that produces 106 Horse power. An important criterion is adaptation to high temperature conditions. The engine is able to easily start at temperatures below 30 degrees, and also steadfastly cope with high temperatures in hot summer conditions.

Transmission.

The new model is available with both manual and automated transmissions. The manual transmission of Lada Vesta, in comparison with competitors, will please you with smooth gear shifting and the absence of a “hum”, which is typical for previous models of the VAZ family. There are several driving style options available in the vehicle software. You can easily switch from one to the other control mode. Everything is like in foreign cars.

Adaptation to winter conditions.

As regards adaptation to winter conditions, she also wins in comparison. Here we can highlight the fact that the door locks are completely protected from freezing, and the heating system completely warms up the passenger compartment and the driver at any given temperature. Heated mirrors, front seats and windows are provided, and a special plug on the radiator will protect the engine from the cold. In winter conditions, this is simply necessary.

Comfortable salon.

I would like to note the comfortable interior of Lada Vesta: comfortable seats, electro-mechanization, excellent materials used to create the panel. Good ergonomics and design are directed to the future, which is why it is so different in comparison to other cars. Passengers will be as comfortable in the cabin as the driver.

A new generation of domestic cars is becoming a quality product of our time. Let's hope that AvtoVAZ products, in comparison with other competing manufacturers, will become better.

Lada Vesta components: what is it made of?

At the beginning of 2015, in February, the pilot assembly of LadaVesta began, and on September 25, a large-scale production of the new model started. The release of the new sedan became known back in August 2014, which both delighted and surprised the public. However, the model has just entered the domestic market, since November 25, 2015, mass sales of cars began. Over the past 10 years, this is the first Russian car in the full sense.

Vehicle device

To imagine the dimensions of the car, you can look at Volkswagen Polo. Vesta and its wheelbase are only a few centimeters longer. Its total length is 4.41 m with a width of 1.76 m and a height of 1.49 m. In full uniform, the car will weigh from 1150 to 1200 kg. The exact weight may vary depending on the version. The thickness of the Lada Vesta metal can vary from 0.6 mm to 0.8 mm, and in some places, perhaps more. There is no reason to believe that the new model will differ in any way from Lada Priora or Lada Granta. The car was developed on the basis of the B / C platform, which continued the previous C design. Unlike the Lada Silhouette, its successor received many updates: a completely updated steering with power steering, upgraded electrical equipment, imported climate control and a changed rear suspension base.

Engines Lada Vesta

According to some reports, for starters, only the VAZ-21129 engine will be used in the car. It has a capacity of 106 horsepower, if the inside is “warmed up” to 5800 rpm, and a volume of 1.6 liters. However, by 2016 Lada Vesta will be equipped with slightly more powerful engine Nissan HR 16DR, which will have 114 horsepower at 6000 rpm and the same volume of 1.6 liters. A similar motor was installed in the Nissan Sentra.

In addition, for the first time in the car it is planned to use a 5-speed gearbox developed by the company. However, later in the year 2016, a French manual transmission will be supplied with the engine from Nissan.

The 1.6 liter engine is considered by the company to be the most suitable for the model. It is unlikely that they will put something more powerful under the hood, for example, 1.8 liters. from VAZ. But more modest models with eight valves will also not be installed here.

Lada Vesta accessories

Among the known features, Lada Vesta will be equipped with an ERA-GLONASS automatic transmitter. This system, in the event of an accident, will automatically send a signal asking for help and GPS coordinates to the main rescue services. The government plans to pass a law according to which such transmitters will be built into all cars on the Russian domestic market without fail.

The mid-level Comfort package will contain the following set of functions: GPS, advanced climate control from Valeo, air conditioning, a DVR in the form of a rear-view camera, two airbags, cruise control, power windows for all doors from the Bavarian Brose, 16-inch cast rollers, light and rain sensors and a front window heating function. It is this type of configuration of Lada Vesta that is planned to be produced from the very beginning.

Separate spare parts are the result of the work of many manufacturing companies. However, most of them are produced in our country. Thus, the car will be supplied with tires from Continental, a well-known German manufacturer. If the Continental Eco Contact model is installed, this is one of the company's cheapest kits. The car radiator from Visteon Corporation - the world's leader in spare parts - is of very high quality. Ventilation and brakes will be from TRW, and the generator, wiper and accelerator pedal from the world famous Bosch. In addition, the seats are from the Korean company Daewon, and the interior details are from AE2. Latest manufacturer known for his designs for many cars, for example, for Nissan. Even more, the creators of the car surprised by installing a high-quality electronics control unit from Lear. Its market value is above average.

As you can see, during the development of LadaVesta, some details were saved, while others are quite consistent with the price category of the car. In other words, manufacturers from all over the world. However, this should not surprise us, VAZ, like others, follows the latest trends.

However, the company is not going to stop there. Planned to be released (possibly with all-wheel drive) SUV Lada Vesta Cross. This will happen in the middle or second half of 2016.

As we have seen, the release of a new car can rightfully be called historical. How popular will he become? How will he be accepted into the motorists of Russia? Time will answer these questions.

How Lada Vesta collects photos and videos of the whole process

The start of production of Lada Vesta took place on September 25, 2015, the model went on sale on November 24 of the same year. Initially, sales of the model did not inspire optimism. But now Lada Vesta is turning into a real market bestseller. Every month, sales of the new Russian sedan are growing. Today, Vesta competes on equal terms with the leaders Hyundai Solaris and Kia Rio. In addition to a good design, reasonable price, decent comfort and spaciousness, the new Avtovaz turned out to be a fairly high-quality car. Today we will tell you in detail how the Lada Vesta is assembled. But first, let's answer the question, where is the Lada Vesta assembled? The assembly of the new Russian sedan has been established in Izhevsk (Udmurtia). They also assemble Lada Grant in the back of a liftback. Ironically, even in Soviet times the first liftback in the USSR was also produced there. Yes, the legendary IZH Moskvich Kombi was made there. This is a modern production facility, where the Nissan Sentra sedan and the Nissan Tiida hatchback are assembled in parallel (and constantly suspended due to the crisis). The equipment and the workers themselves in Tolyatti and Izhevsk are somewhat different. The difference in quality between the Grants sedan of the Togliatti assembly and the Grants of the liftback of Izhevsk production is different.

The body of Lada Vesta was designed using the best software products and with the participation of Renault French engineers. Therefore, the power structure turned out to be very rigid. In terms of twisting, the Vesta body is three times stronger than that of the Samar family (2108-2109 and other modifications) and two times stronger than that of the Lada Grant. According to this indicator, the domestic sedan caught up with the Ford Focus. The very first crash tests showed that in terms of level passive safety Vesta is better than Korean brothers Hyundai twins Solaris and Kia Rio.

How to assemble the body of Lada Vesta video

Avtovaz to the delight of the fans new car published a video of the Lada Vesta body assembly. Of course, not all operations are carried out with the help of robots, but the main operations for welding power elements are entrusted to them. Let's watch the video next.

For body painting domestic cars there have always been complaints. However, Avtovaz has recently been solving this problem as well. Cooperation with the Renault-Nissan alliance allows obtaining new technologies and materials. As for the Izhevsk production of Lada Vesta, cataphoretic soil is used here. Naturally, the body is dipped into a special bath before painting. But as in the case of welding, the process is not 100% automated, part of the work is performed by ordinary painters, who also monitor the quality of the paintwork. In some cases, human hands are more agile than robotic mechanisms.

The durability of the entire car and the preservation of its presentation largely depend on the quality of painting. According to this indicator, Lada Vesta meets all Renault-Nissan standards.

How to paint the body of Lada Vesta video

Quite a lot depends on the final assembly of any machine. After all, there are a huge number of small operations that are performed by completely different people. If a person misses some kind of operation, then the future owner can then look for a long time what rattles, creaks or sparks in his car.

I am glad that before assembling the interior, a rather powerful noise and vibration isolation is laid not only on the bottom and engine bulkhead, but even in the trunk and on the roof. A simple piece of extra sound insulation can provide a decent amount of comfort, especially for people who spend quite a lot of time in the car.

Final conveyor assembly Lada Vesta video

The assembly technology is no different from the same procedure for assembling a foreign car. Doors are removed from the painted car and sent for additional assembly. The absence of doors greatly helps to assemble the interior. Chassis and the power unit meet with the car almost at the very last turn. But the headlights are installed almost immediately. On closer examination of the following video at the 7th minute, you can see how easily and naturally they fasten the front of the car (bumper with radiator grille). Apparently, the design of the front end of the body is generally a gift for car mechanics. Indeed, for wide access to the power unit, you can simply remove the bumper and radiator, which is somewhat reminiscent of the design of some Audis.

But the sedan is not the only modification of the Lada Vesta. Soon they will start producing cars in the station wagon body, and a little later in the hatchback body. Coming soon Lada version Vesta Cross and sport. In addition to the 1.6 liter engine with 106 horsepower, the family of the new Russian car will receive a more powerful 1.8 liter engine with 122 hp. By the way, the Vesta Sport modification will also have two types of engines, these are forced 1.6 and 1.8 liter units that will produce 140 and 150 hp. respectively. A 5-speed manual or 5-speed robotic automatic is attached to the front-wheel drive. Extension model range Due to the new versions of Vesta, Avtovaz will certainly help to reach the planned production level of 100,000 vehicles per year in the near future.

Where will Vesta be collected?

Lada Vesta made a splash in the domestic car market. This is the first car of the European level, almost completely created in our country. Only some of the structural elements of West are of foreign origin. The production of Lada Vesta was planned to be large-scale, but due to financial difficulties, the plans had to be made a little more modest.


Production bases

It was originally assumed that new Lada Vesta will be assembled at the main plant in Togliatti. Even an assembly line was set up, but in general it turned out to be not very profitable. And, this car required some cost adjustment in order to prevent excessive overpricing and get into the corridor allotted by marketers.

Therefore, it was decided that the new Lada Vesta would be produced at a ready-made training ground in Izhevsk. Part of the parts is produced in the workshops of the main enterprise. That is, at the moment there are two fully operational production lines for the Lada Vesta car. At the same time, one of them is not fully loaded now.


Izhevsk

The new Lada Vesta cars on sale now are all assembled at IzhAvto. All the few copies from Togliatti were sold out in the first days after the start of sales. All further production was moved to Izhevsk for a number of reasons. Below we will analyze why the new Lada Vesta began to be produced at this particular enterprise.

Throughout the past year, AvtoVAZ was in a fever. Due to the fluctuations of the ruble in the market, now and then there were problems with the supply of components for various models produced at the enterprise. By the time the Lada Vesta Lada Vesta was released, the problem had become even more acute. Auto Lada Vesta turned out to be somewhat more expensive than originally expected. The only option to reduce the cost was to reduce the cost of its assembly. It was in this light that the question arose before the company's management: where will Lada Vesta be assembled?

To do this, we decided to adapt the production facilities of IzhAvto. at this enterprise, the screwdriver assembly of Nissan Almera and Nissan Sentra was already established. Also, Lada Granta is produced here. By the time of launch manufactured by Lada Vesta had to complete the modernization of additional workshops.

The IzhAvto plant had several advantages. Assembly is carried out on lines of mixed type. That is, up to four can be collected on one thread various models. That is why it turned out to be much easier to launch the Lada Vesta car into production here. It was only necessary to install an additional line for stamping some body parts. Everything else is produced on a common conveyor. Another distinctive feature It is the Izhevsk plant that uses manual welding. Robots are also present in the enterprise, but in general new car Lada Vesta is hand-welded. This nuance also allows you to assemble models with different bodies in the same workshop.

In general, the idea of ​​AvtoVAZ managers was completely successful. New Lada Vesta cars cost less than they could cost if produced at the main plant in Togliatti. New production facilities, recently reconstructed, were added to the case at the same time. At the same time, it was practically not necessary to spend additional funds on organizing the process from scratch. This allowed the company to get out of a near impasse with reduced funding from partners from Renault-Nissan, which coincided with a decline in sales of the company's products.


Other venues

All information available about Lada Vesta currently indicates the presence of only one production point, which is located in Izhevsk. But motorists want to know everything about Lada Vesta. Therefore, questions often arise, where else will the new Russian car Lada Vesta be produced?

There are several assumptions about this, official representatives do not report where Lada Vesta will be produced in addition to IzhAvto. Although there are several well-founded assumptions. Most likely, sooner or later part of the production will be transferred to the Togliatti plant. This is a matter of time, the demand for the new model will gradually increase, new modifications will appear that will finally push the obsolete Priora off the assembly line.

In addition, there are rumors that the Lada Vesta car will be produced at other enterprises. The most likely place of production is the Republic of Chechnya. It is also possible that new Vesta will be assembled in Kazakhstan.


ChechenAuto

Few people know, but the production of cars in the Chechen Republic has been established since 2008. Therefore, knowledgeable people were not surprised by the statement of Ramzan Kadyrov that the launch of Lada Vesta in the republic will take place as early as 2016. But, there is no official confirmation from AvtoVAZ managers yet. According to their statements, this issue is being coordinated. Let's take a closer look at the prospects for this undertaking. For the production of the Vesta machine, it is already available here industrial base. Now Lada Priora is being produced here, which is expected to be removed from the assembly line in the very near future. Stopping the ChechenAvto plant is not very profitable from all points of view. Therefore, with a high degree of probability, the place on the conveyor will take new Lada Vesta. According to unconfirmed reports, the first Vesta car can leave the factory gates in the fall of 2016.


Kazakhstan

For several years now, Russian Niva has been assembled at the Asia-Avto plant. Here is the usual screwdriver assembly. In connection with the introduction of a recycling fee in Kazakhstan, the West car has risen in price for residents of this country by more than two thousand dollars. Therefore, in order to increase competitiveness Lada Vesta and other models manufactured by AvtoVAZ, it was decided to arrange the assembly of cars in Kazakhstan, since the production facilities allow this. According to the managers, the assembly of the new Lada Vesta will begin in early summer. Therefore, there will be no problems with the purchase of Russian cars from the inhabitants of this Asian country.

ConclusionAvto Vesta is currently produced only at IzhAvto. But, this is far from the only platform where the long-awaited novelty will be assembled in the near future. At the same time, representatives of AvtoVAZ keep silent about where the assembly will still be carried out. Apparently, the very first production facilities for the production of the model will start working in Kazakhstan. The next step will be the already announced assembly at the ChechenAvto plant. Whether Lada Vesta will be assembled at factories in Togliatti and Cherkessk so far, one can only guess.

How was Lada Vesta created?

August 2014 became a milestone in the history of LADA Vesta. It was at this time that the Moscow International Motor Show satisfied the interest of the public and presented a concept car created in the Vercarmodel studio in Turin. At the request of AvtoVAZ, five more samples were made: one LADA Vesta WTCC concept, as well as two XRAY and LADA Vesta concepts. Two concepts were needed due to the demonstration taking place at the same time in Togliatti.

According to AvtoVAZ chief designer Steve Mattin, due to lack of funds production models will be slightly different from the samples shown. In the exhibition concept cars offered to the public, the most simplified filling is used, and with the help of various tricks, the appearance is embellished.

Who owns the authorship of the interior of the car?

The authorship of the interior of LADA Vesta belongs to the talented Togliatti designer Andrey Bessolitsin, who previously worked fruitfully on the updated Priora and Kalina-2. The Vesta climate control unit remained the same, VAZ.

Innovations include a multifunction steering wheel, devices in the so-called wells, seat upholstery with original material with colored decorative inserts.

Salons of serial cars will be practically the same, favorably differing from the salons of models of previous years, and a person, being behind driving LADA Vesta, as they say, will feel the difference.

The car, which is planned to be put into production, and the LADA Vesta concept have similar dimensions. However, not a single serial part can be found in the concept. Vesta is meant to be a replacement for Priore, the brainchild of the Lada B project, and will be in the middle of the B and C classes.

Lada Priora with the concept have the same length of 4.35 m, but LADA Vesta wheelbase is 2.65 m, which is 15 cm more than that of Priora.

Julien Drouart, who has worked at the Renault design center for eleven years and won the competition for the exterior of Vesta, is responsible for the appearance of LADA Vesta. Later, as a more knowledgeable and experienced specialist, he was entrusted with the exterior of LADA XRAY. Mattin and Drouart became participants in the project not from the first days of its existence. Before that, Togliatti residents already had good own developments and alternatives in favor of Niva and Renault.

About borrowing

Much of the C project formed the basis of the Vesta platform, but there are also many indisputable successful borrowings, which, by the way, include the rear suspension beam from Renault. Although LADA Vesta was designed in Russia, to create the concept, it was decided to contact the well-established Vercarmodel studio, whose designers over the past two years have distinguished themselves with such concepts as the Honda Civic Tourer Concept, Porsche Sport Turismo Concept, SsangYong SIV-I, Kia Provo , Changan CS95, Subaru Viziv Concept, Hyundai i-oniq.

Conclusion

At the heart of each concept car is an absolutely original technology based on the use of fake interior and body parts. Speaking specifically, the concept is just a foam plastic dummy mounted on a metal frame with wheels and a power plant in the form of an electric motor, a manual gearbox and lead-acid batteries located in the free cavity of the engine box and under luggage compartment.

Foam body parts are made on five-axis machines according to three-dimensional drawings created using special computer programs.

The basis for the creation of chairs are seats from other cars, re-pasted with foam rubber and covered with leather in order to give the desired shape and appearance.

The front panel consists of a plywood base and model tape applied to it. They give, so to speak, a presentation with the help of a film similar in texture to the imitated material, leather or plastic. And only, perhaps, glass and wheels can be called real. True, the wheels will also be upgraded. Everything superfluous is cut off from them, and then a new appearance is formed from the model polymer.

When everything is ready, assembly, fitting and fine-tuning takes place. As a result, it turns out so realistic that even an advanced motorist is hard to guess that in front of him is only a model that cannot make him enjoy either the noise of the engine or the intoxicating speed. Yes, this is not required. The purpose of concept cars is to arouse the interest of potential buyers, and it must be assumed that the LADA Vesta concept copes well with this.

Company history

July 20, 1966 The Central Committee of the CPSU and the Soviet government decided to build a new large automobile plant in the city of Togliatti. The preparation of the technical project was entrusted to the Italian automobile concern Fiat.

January 3, 1967 The Central Committee of the All-Union Leninist Young Communist League declared the construction of the Volga Automobile Plant an All-Union shock Komsomol construction site. Already January 21, 1967 the first cubic meter of land was taken out for the construction of the first workshop of the plant - the building of auxiliary workshops (AEC).

1969 Work collectives of the plant are being formed. The installation of production equipment produced at 844 domestic factories, 900 factories of the socialist community, by firms in Italy, Germany, France, England, the USA and other countries, continued.

April 19, 1970 The first six VAZ-2101 "Zhiguli" cars left the main conveyor of the plant, the design basically repeating the Italian model "FIAT-124", but assembled entirely from localized components.

January 10, 1972. The State Commission signed an act on acceptance into operation of the second stage of the Volga Automobile Plant with a capacity of 220,000 vehicles per year. The plant was officially accepted by the State Commission December 22, 1973.

OJSC AVTOVZ is a Russian automobile manufacturing company, the largest manufacturer of passenger cars in Russia and Eastern Europe. The full official name is Open Joint Stock Company AVTOVAZ.

Previous names - Vlzhsky Automobile Plant (VAZ) (1966-1971), Volga Association for the Production of Automobiles "AVTOVAZ" (since 1971). By decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the RSFSR in 1972, the Volga Automobile Plant was named after the 50th anniversary of the USSR.

On July 20, 1966, after analyzing 54 different construction sites, the Central Committee of the CPSU and the Soviet government decided to build a new large automobile plant in the city of Togliatti. The preparation of the technical project was entrusted to the Italian automobile concern Fiat. On August 15, 1966, in Moscow, the head of FIAT, Gianni Agnelli, signed a contract with Alexander Tarasov, Minister of the Automobile Industry of the USSR, to create an automobile plant in the city of Togliatti with a full production cycle. Under the contract, the same concern was entrusted with the technological equipment of the plant and the training of specialists.

1966 A government decree was adopted on the construction of the Volga Automobile Plant. On May 4, a protocol was signed in Turin on the participation of the Italian automobile society FIAT in the creation in the Soviet Union of an industrial complex of enterprises for the production of passenger cars. A general agreement on cooperation in the development of a car design, a car plant project and its construction in the USSR was concluded between the USSR Ministry of Foreign Trade and the FIAT joint-stock company. The Council of Ministers of the USSR appointed Deputy. Minister of the Automotive Industry Polyakov V.N. general director of a plant under construction for the production of cars in the city of Togliatti.

On January 3, 1967, the Central Committee of the All-Union Leninist Young Communist League declared the construction of the Volga Automobile Plant an All-Union shock Komsomol construction site. Thousands of people, mostly young people, went to Tolyatti to build the auto giant. Already on January 21, 1967, the first cubic meter of land was excavated for the construction of the first workshop of the plant - the building of auxiliary workshops (AEC).

Since 1969, labor collectives of the plant began to form, most of them were people who built the plant. The installation of production equipment produced at 844 domestic factories, 900 factories of the socialist community, by firms in Italy, Germany, France, England, the USA and other countries, continued.

On March 1, 1970, the first 10 bodies of future cars were issued by the welding workshop, and on April 19, 1970, the first six VAZ-2101 Zhiguli cars left the main assembly line of the plant, which basically repeated the Italian FIAT-124 model in design, but were almost completely assembled from localized components. On October 28, 1970, the first echelon with Zhiguli cars was sent to Moscow. Thus, at settlement period construction in 6 years, the plant was put into operation ahead of schedule for 3 years, which allowed the USSR to save more than 1 billion Soviet rubles.

On March 24, 1971, the State Commission accepted into operation the first stage of the Volga Automobile Plant, which will produce 220 thousand cars a year. On July 16, 1971, the 100,000th car with the VAZ brand was produced.

1971 The main building of the VAZ was put into operation. The Volga association for the production of passenger cars - "AvtoVAZ" was created. A department for export and external relations of VAZ was created. 1972 Production department "AvtoVAZtekhoobsluzhivanie" was created.

On January 10, 1972, the State Commission signed an act on the acceptance into operation of the second stage of the Volga Automobile Plant with a capacity of 220 thousand cars per year. Officially, the plant was accepted by the State Commission with an "excellent" rating on December 22, 1973 - after the release of the millionth car; By decree of the Presidium of the USSR Armed Forces, the Volga Automobile Plant was awarded the Order of the Red Banner of Labor.

1973 The Togliatti Zhiguli maintenance and repair center was opened - the first in a series of enterprises of a branded car service network. The plant was awarded the Order of the Red Banner of Labor.

Alexander Fedorovich Andronov is a famous person. Chief designer of the Moscow plant of small cars (MZMA, now AZLK), leading specialist of the former USSR Ministry of Automobile Industry. There were many interesting events in his life. One of them is the signing of a contract with FIAT for the construction of an automobile plant in Togliatti. While design features Togliatti first-born were known only to a narrow circle of specialists. Today Alexander Fedorovich talks about some details of business meetings with the leaders of the Italian company.

On July 27, 1966, a decree was issued on the construction of a modern automobile plant with a capacity of six hundred thousand cars a year. It was preceded by a large meeting organized at VDNKh by the Minister of the Automotive Industry A. Tarasov, which, after a long discussion, approved the choice of a partner, the Italian company FIAT.

The FIAT firm, famous, very experienced, formed at the end of the 19th century, has always seemed to me an authoritative community of competent workers, talented engineers and capable entrepreneurs who know a lot about organizing mass production of cars and who know how to make money. The company's president, Vittorio Valetta, an experienced businessman and subtle politician, brought together excellent specialists such as Fiorelli, Bono, Gioia, Buffa, Montabone, Gianni Agnelli (son of the first FIAT president), Giacosa.

After making the necessary inquiries, we offered FIAT cooperation. In pursuance of a special government decree, a Soviet delegation headed by A. Tarasov, which included me, left for Italy.

First of all, we were introduced to the factories of FIAT and its subcontractors. Then - a discussion of the model taken as the basis for production in our country (I remind you that it was FIAT-124), costs, financing, equipment supplies and much more. Before the first meeting, the chief designer of the company, Dante Giacosa, approached me as if he were an old acquaintance. We started talking, remembering the year 1960, when he came to Moscow and visited MZMA. To be honest, at the time I was a little surprised by his point of view. When asked why disc brakes were not installed on FIAT models of 1960, the answer was that this type of brake was of no technical interest and had no advantage over drum brakes. And this was said by a competent specialist! Exactly one year later, when I visited the FIAT factories, I discovered that all the models already produced are equipped with disc brakes. Therefore, we negotiated carefully, I was personally entrusted with the solution of all issues related to the design of the future car.

At first, there were few disputes about making constructive clarifications and changes. FIAT representatives, engineers Giacosa, Montabone and others, accepted all our proposals, for example, to replace cable drive hydraulic clutch, increasing the size of the clutch, clarifying the kinematics of the suspension rear axle, strengthening the body in several places. But when it came to the requirements for the engine, in particular the transfer of the camshaft from the block to the cylinder head, then Giacosa, Montabone and Gioya came to the defense of their "lower" engine. They can be understood. The car and its power unit (meaning the “124” model) were mastered in 1964, the production technology was debugged, so it is relatively easy to start producing a car and engine at a new plant without re-equipping anything. Persistently, the management of FIAT proceeded from the fact that their factory had not yet produced a single model with an engine with an overhead camshaft (the so-called ONS scheme). I was firmly convinced that the further development of the world engine building would go in this direction (and so it happened).

The Italians accused me of technical adventurism and short-sightedness, "but I stood my ground, having" no support either from Deputy Minister Strokin or from Tarasov himself. I also insisted that the engine should have an aluminum block and "wet" cylinder liners, aluminum heads, intake and exhaust manifolds, crankcases, covers. We've reached a dead end. At the last meeting, I finally formulated our demands, and Giacosa, Montabone and Gioya - finally their refusal. Having suffered a fiasco, I nevertheless decided that the opponents should have a document listing my demands. No minutes were taken at the meeting. At the end of the working day, I formulated the requirements that I put forward and defended at the meeting. The document was printed in Russian and Italian, and in the evening of the same day two copies were delivered to Giacosa.

The next morning, Tarasov, having gathered our delegation, proposed to finalize the main points of the agreement. After my report on the state of affairs at the negotiating table, he categorically forbade me to insist on the demands put forward, saying that by my actions I was preventing the signing of the agreement - the basis of the contract.

A few days later, in a solemn atmosphere, the agreement was signed by Tarasov and Valletta. Our copy of the agreement was endorsed by all members of the delegation, except for me.

JSC "AVTOVAZ"

I couldn't get the top one out of my head camshaft. There were reasons for this. Looking around the laboratories and experimental workshop of FIAT, I noticed on the stands prototypes of engines with upper shafts, and on the machines - a large number of parts of a 6-cylinder V-shaped engine with a working volume of two liters. He already had two shafts in the heads of the block. When I asked what kind of engine it was, they answered me “an experimental model for Ferrari”. In the laboratory on the stand, he worked steadily, smoothly, without shaking and interruptions at eight thousand revolutions per minute, providing a very high power for those times - 160 hp. With. Seeing all this, I thought about how a Togliatti car with an outdated engine would look like. Looking ahead, I’ll say that the engine that I saw at the stand and intended for Ferrari with a reduced speed and power (140 hp) began to be installed since 1967 on FIAT cars, and not on sports cars, but on serial ones, cars.

After signing the agreement, the delegations parted warmly, agreeing to meet again to clarify the wording of some of its points. When we flew home, Strokin came up to me three times on the plane and passed on the order first, and then the minister's request to endorse the agreement. I flatly refused.

The second meeting, unexpectedly for me, took place much earlier than the previously scheduled date. Tarasov, according to some information that reached me, realized that he had made a mistake regarding the design of the engine. Strokin was ordered to gather specialists and urgently go to Italy. I was also instructed to go to FIAT. When Strokin called and warned about the flight (tickets and passports were already ready), I categorically refused, arguing that I no longer intend to participate in the purchase of a car with such an engine. Strokin convinced that the time had come when it was possible to revise the engine clause in the agreement and the trip would be short. I gave in.

When renegotiations began, it turned out that the Italians were ready to revise most of the points of the agreement. The trip, planned for a week, took all four. Gradually acceptable formulations were found. When it came to the engine, the Italian side firmly stated that it should not be discussed. The company does not have any other designs and cannot undertake the development of a complex power unit. Giacosa added that the delegation does not have any official document on this issue. Bluff! I immediately asked if he remembered my report on our engine requirements. Turns out he remembers.

An endless debate ensued. One day we received a letter signed by FIAT President Professor Valletta with a reasoned refusal to redesign the engine design and with a proposal to complete negotiations. Strokin, getting excited, literally threw me a letter with the words - Admire! And this was said by a man who did not want to take my side during the first trip. I wrote a letter to Valletta, in which I removed the requirement for the use of an aluminum block, but insisted on an overhead camshaft and the obligatory presence of water channels between the cylinders of the now cast-iron block. The letter was signed by the head of our delegation.

Later, the layout of the engine according to the ONS scheme, in accordance with the annexes to the agreement, was to be agreed by the Italian company with the USSR Ministry of Automotive Industry within the stipulated time. The Ministry instructed NAMI to review and agree on the layout, and by the middle of 1969, the design of the car was finally determined. I no longer participated in this work.

I will only add that Tarasov was very pleased with the agreement. He appointed his deputy, Polyakov, as the general director of the VAZ under construction. Soon, the production of the VAZ-2101 began there, the design of which was based on the Italian prototype FIAT-124 and our very serious additions to it.

The Russian company VAZ, or Volzhsky Automobile Plant (VAZ), is one of the largest national manufacturers specializing in the production of budget cars of a compact and middle class.

Previous names - Volga Automobile Plant (VAZ) (1966-1971), Volga Association for the production of passenger cars "AVTOVAZ" (since 1971). By decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the RSFSR in 1972, the Volga Automobile Plant was named after the 50th anniversary of the USSR.

Previously, he produced cars of the VAZ brand with the names Zhiguli, Niva, Sputnik, Samara, Oka. Currently produces cars under the trademark "Lada" ("Lada"). In addition, it supplies other manufacturers with vehicle kits for the production of cars of the VAZ, Lada and Oka brands.

Since the mid-1990s, in relation to cars manufactured by the enterprise, the jargon "TAZ" or "Tazik" began to be used, the origin of which is obvious by analogy with the abbreviations of other Soviet automobile plants ("GAZ", "KAMAZ", "UAZ"), named after the place where they are.

Often slang names are also used to name individual models of cars produced by ATOVAZ:

  • "Penny", "Spear" - VAZ 2101.
  • "Five" or "stool" - VAZ 2105.
  • "Shah" or "shokha", "six" - VAZ 2106.
  • "Seven", "Seven", - VAZ 2107.
  • "Chisel" - the first generation of the "Samara" and "Sputnik" series (2108, 2109, 21099), "Rattle" - a version with a high torpedo. Sometimes the second generation of Samara (2113, 2114, 2115) is also called a “chisel”, which differs from the later injection versions of the first only in appearance and pre-installed rear wings).
  • "Chervonets" or "Chirik", "Ten" - VAZ-2110. Also, the name "Ten" is often used to refer to the entire "tenth" (VAZ 2110, VAZ 2111, VAZ 2112) car family.
  • "Pregnant antelope" (for the characteristic appearance of the rear wheel arches) - VAZ 2110.
  • “Tazik” or “Taz” is a disparaging name for all cars produced by the plant, used in critical media materials or by Russian public activists who oppose the increase in duties on the import of foreign-made cars and support for AVTOVAZ at the expense of funds from the state budget. It is also used (both for cars and for the plant itself) and the variant "TAZ" - an abbreviation for "Togliatti Automobile Plant" - with the argument that the names of Soviet automobile plants should indicate the city where they are located (GAZ, MAZ, KrAZ), and the Gorky (Nizhny Novgorod) Automobile Plant could just as well be called VAZ.
  • Almost all models are often called simply by number: “four” (2104), “dvenashka” (2112), “nine” (2109), etc.

Introduction

In the processing of metals by pressure, products are obtained by plastic deformation without chip removal. This process is highly economical and productive.

Up to 90% of steel being smelted, many non-ferrous metals and alloys are subjected to pressure treatment. A necessary condition for pressure treatment: metals must be able to be plastically deformed without destruction. Processing by pressure can be carried out in a cold and heated state. As a result of cold plastic deformation, the strength and hardness of the metal increases, and the ductility decreases.

Stamping is an advanced method of working metals with pressure using a special tool called a stamp. Unlike free forging, the flow of metal during stamping is limited by the cavities of the die. Products obtained by stamping often do not require subsequent machining and do not have waste. Distinguish between volumetric and sheet stamping.

Sheet metal stamping is a method of manufacturing a product from sheet material. The main advantages of sheet stamping are the ability to manufacture strong thin-walled parts, high productivity, economical metal consumption, relative ease of mechanization and automation of the process. Sheet stamping is often done in a cold state.

Sheet forging operations are classified into separating (separating part of the workpiece from the product) and shaping (obtaining products of complex three-dimensional shape). Separating operations include: cutting, cutting, punching. Form-changing operations, in turn, include: bending, straightening, drawing, molding.

Press production of PJSC "AVTOVAZ"

Press production is a subdivision of PJSC AVTOVAZ and specializes in the manufacture of large-sized car body parts (side panels, roofs, doors, hoods, trunks, fenders) and medium-sized body frame parts (amplifiers, beams, brackets, spars).
