Alfa Avtomativ Technologies, a Moscow-based company, has begun supplying stamped body components for Haval vehicles produced at the Tula Region facility. The development was confirmed through a Moscow governance update, highlighting the role of Vladislav Ovchinsky, the head of the city’s department overseeing investment and industrial policy. The move marks a notable step in the integration of Moscow-produced parts into a regional manufacturing chain tied to the Haval plant in the Tula area, reflecting broader trends in domestic supply chain localization.
Currently, the initial batch is in production, with 1,600 units prepared from the front-end cabinet area. At the same time, AAT teams are wrapping up the adaptation of a second serial piece, specifically the stamping equipment for the rear floor section of the cabin. This parallel effort demonstrates the company’s capability to synchronize multiple stamping operations, ensuring that both front and rear seating areas align with the vehicle’s assembly timeline.
In total, the plan calls for 106 distinct stamped body parts to be supplied from the Moscow plant to the Haval facility in the Tula region. As the project advances, the tooling for the second component, the back panel of the floor, is nearing completion, signaling progress toward a stabilized supply line and consistent part quality across the full range of stamped assemblies required by the production schedule.
Previously, attention had been drawn to the refreshed model lineup from Peugeot, as updated versions of the 508 were introduced to the market. This context underscores a broader era of auto manufacturing where regional and cross-brand supply collaborations are becoming more common, as automakers seek to optimize production processes and component sourcing within domestic borders and adjacent regions.
