JSC VIS has initiated the manufacture of a rear brake pressure regulator, known as RDZT, tailored for Lada Granta models configured in the Classic’22 setup. Notably, these particular Granta configurations lack an ABS system, which makes the RDZT an essential component for ensuring reliable braking performance in the standard driving mode. This regulator plays a critical role in modulating hydraulic pressure within the braking circuit, supporting predictable pedal feel and braking response even in vehicles without anti-lock functionality.
The organization reports that a fresh order for RDZT production emerged due to VIS JSC’s solid reputation as a dependable strategic supplier of a broad spectrum of spare parts and automotive components used in vehicle assembly. The supplier’s strengths include consistently high product quality, proximity to customers, and a track record of stable delivery. In official statements, a representative from KAMAZ PJSC highlighted VIS JSC’s involvement as a reliable partner, reinforcing confidence in the continued supply of RDZT in a timely and efficient manner. This collaboration aligns with VIS JSC’s ongoing commitment to supporting assembly lines with components that meet exacting standards and long-standing customer expectations (Source: VIS JSC press release).
Moreover, production readiness was achieved remarkably quickly. VIS JSC retrofitted its production lines with the required equipment and reorganized work assignments to incorporate the new unit. The ramp-up included validating manufacturing processes, ensuring quality checks at every stage, and aligning output with demand forecasts. Historically, VIS JSC had served as a direct supplier of RDZT to lines producing Niva off-road vehicles, demonstrating versatility across different platforms and a proven ability to adapt to diverse engineering requirements (Source: VIS JSC communications).
It is worth recalling that in October 2007, AVTOVAZ began installing ABS on the first-generation Lada Kalina models, with the German supplier Bosch Electronics contributing to the electronic braking system. Prior to that shift, Kalina models—introduced in 2004—utilized the previously standard hydraulic RDZT. With the Kalina platform now evolving, the RDZT remained a central element in the braking architecture, and Bosch continued to serve as a major supplier for ABS through the spring of 2022. These historical milestones underline the evolving brake technology landscape in which RDZT and ABS components interplay to shape vehicle safety and performance (Source: Industry records and company history summaries).
