AvtoVAZ specializes in the production of AGV automatic bogies, informs corporate YouTube channel “In the Factory”. The main parts of the plant have already ordered more than 120 cars, the prototypes are undergoing final tests.
AGVs are automatically controlled electric cars that move along a predetermined trajectory using a magnetic tape attached to the floor and WI-FI, and even supply components.
At first, auto trucks were used at the Renault plant, then in 2020 AvtoVAZ began to buy them from the respective partners and include them in its production. These blue and white cars are painted in the Gzhel style and feature Renault logos.
New VAZ-made cars are distinguished by a gray-orange color. AvtoVAZ specialists also note that they are working on improving the AGV design and solving problems with the localization of components for auto trucks. They move almost silently, so they play a melody for safety. If the old AGVs played “Kalinka-Malinka”, then the new ones – the composition of Pyotr Tchaikovsky.
Former Vice President of AvtoVAZ Dmitry Kostromin listed competitors of the updated Lada Vesta.
