Ural Automobile Plant to Set Up New Foundry

The famous Russian automobile plant "Ural", which produces the eponymous trucks, is ready to begin expanding production. A loan agreement has already been signed, according to which the enterprise will be allocated 2,6 billion rubles.


This money will go towards building a new full-cycle foundry. Precisely on this scale, and not another workshop or modernization. Judging by the design documentation, the full production capacity will be up to 45 thousand tons of cast iron parts.

First of all, these will be auto components for Ural cars. After all, the plant currently lacks the capacity to assemble the required quantity. And the demand for the latter has increased after European brands left the country.

The second point is the work of new production for third-party consumers. They also need casting in large quantities. First of all, in order to localize their own products as much as possible.

The cost of the new project is 9,5 million rubles. It turns out that the Ural plant itself will invest most of the funds. But they do not have enough funds, so they had to turn to VEB.RF for help. Thanks to the support of the Ministry of Industry and Trade, they managed to get a loan for 2,6 billion rubles on favorable terms.

It is already known that the new project will be unique for Russia. It will be the most modern foundry in the country. It will implement the latest developments. Thanks to the use of high-precision equipment and high-quality raw materials, it will be possible to establish the production of reliable parts, units and components from cast iron.

All Russian automobile enterprises should become like this. Complete independence from foreign partners is a step towards a strong economy. This is especially important in relation to trucks. After all, it helps build new facilities, including those of strategic importance.

The Ural plant already has successful experience in implementing such ambitious projects. For example, they previously received 7,2 billion rubles to organize the production of components for trucks. First of all, axles and bridges. These funds have been spent - the products are already being mass-produced.

The plant has already managed to replace foreign computer programs, technologies and solutions with domestic ones. This is done so that truck production does not stop due to political or economic turmoil.
