OREANDA-NEWS. February 02, 2011. UAZ dealers sold 4,000 cars under government recycling program and achieved their sales targets for 2010.

By the end of October, UAZ sold through its dealer network (more than 100  outlets) the target number of cars marked for realization under recycling program in 2010. Moscow, St. Petersburg and Nizhny Novgorod are the leaders in terms of car sales. Most of the cars were sold in Ulyanovsk, which is mainly the result of additional subsidies program implemented by the Government of the Ulyanovsk Region and Ulyanovsk Automobile Plant.

UAZ Patriot and UAZ 469 SUVs enjoy the highest popularity. In August, UAZ Patriot Sport, a new compact SUV (basic price with the recycling premium — 370 thousand rubles) was included in the list of cars available through recycling program. This car is expected to become soon the leader in the sales under recycling program.

“The initial sales target under the program was 2,000 cars, said A. A. Karpov, head of UAZ Sales Department, – but following the first two months we realized that recycling program has a larger potential and we revised our forecasts by increasing sales targets to 4,000 cars”.

 By the end of 2010, UAZ plans to sell at least 1,000 more UAZ SUVs.
