Proposals for the development of the automotive industry are considered

On December 14, President Shavkat Mirziyoyev got acquainted with the presentation of proposals for the development of the automotive industry and agricultural engineering.

As a result of the economic reforms being implemented in our country, these industries are being consistently modernized. Despite the difficulties with logistics, car production has tripled in recent years, and it is expected that by the end of this year the total volume will reach 415 thousand units. In order to eliminate the state monopoly and promote competition in the industry, 3 new private car manufacturers and prestigious foreign brands were attracted. Today, dozens of types of cars, trucks and passenger transport, agricultural and special equipment are produced at 8 factories in the country.

In addition, more than 2 thousand enterprises of the industry cooperate closely with each other, and 50% localization of components has been ensured.

At the same time, there is still a high demand for cars on the market. Competition between automakers is increasing both in the domestic and foreign markets. From now on, Uzavtosanoat joint-stock company should make more efforts to expand the model range, improve quality, reduce production costs, and work in a competitive environment, it was noted at the meeting.

During the presentation, the plans and tasks facing the industry were discussed. 

In particular, by 2030, it is planned to increase the production of passenger cars in the country to 1 million units. The meeting identified measures that need to be implemented within the framework of this task in 2024. 

The Head of our state stressed the importance of accelerating the transformation of Uzavtosanoat and reducing costs.

As you know, today the world's leading automakers are switching to the production of electric vehicles. If domestic enterprises delay the development of this industry, they will face difficulties in taking a worthy place in the market in the future.

The first projects have already been launched in this direction. It is planned that next year a car factory capable of producing 10,000 electric vehicles per year will be launched.

The President pointed out the importance of paying special attention to the production of electric vehicles and instructed to establish the production of components for them.

The agricultural machinery industry of the country has produced more than 3.5 thousand units of equipment this year. By 2030, it is planned to increase this volume to 16 thousand per year.

A cluster of agricultural machinery was created in Chirchik. Its annual production capacity is 15 thousand tractors, trailers and other equipment. However, the system of selling them does not meet the requirements of the time.

In this regard, it was emphasized that it is necessary to expand incentives for the purchase of domestic equipment, increase the interest of clusters and farmers, form a portfolio of orders, and additional measures were identified. The task has been set to bring the localization level of the domestic tractor to 35 percent, and suspended vehicles and trailers to an average of 60 percent.
