it seems like the germans were driven out of here yesterday, and we said, let’s build a factory here, we looked a little surprised, how do you imagine that? future partners, kia, were surprised, then this brand was new to russia , we explained to him that you know, let’s each do what he understands better, for example, you know... what is your car, so you will give us technology for its production, help equip the equipment, help, i emphasize, not equip, we will build everything you need build infrastructure, buildings, and so on. this is the essence of contract manufacturing, the customer helps supply auto components, equipment , something specific, can be leased, and

the contractor takes on all the work of building facilities, organizes the work of personnel, strictly adheres to technology and controls quality, then organizes the development of complex imported technologies on the territory of one’s own country, this is called localization, with a great depth of localization, with a full production cycle bodies with welding and painting, we already in 2000 in the first year, on the eve of the new year, already switched to a deeper process, when the body was welded ourselves, we spent it ourselves, after amber the plant also developed another faded site - kalining bummasha, in 2018, when avtotor produced with 260,000 cars per year, almost a thousand cars every day, it is already the world's largest contract manufacturer, in other words, a company that operates on a contract manufacturing basis. the plant

provides over 50% of the region's marketable products, provides more than 80% of the load seaports and half of the turnover by rail. and as a result of our cooperation, since the beginning of the plant’s operation , more than 2 million cars have been shipped by air transport over these 26 years. in 2019, the plant lengthened the routes where cars are loaded, and since then we have been able to ship three shipping routes at the same time, shipping routes are up to 280 cars. the auto industry is the locomotive of the economy, because it provides orders to many related enterprises; for their product they receive real money, which goes to development, that is, production has appeared that pays half of all taxes...

leningrad region over 92 billion rubles. funds from which the state finances medicine, pays pensions, invests in science and education, so behind the figure of more than 2 million cars produced there is extensive experience in overcoming the crisis. there were all sorts of moments when salaries were paid with the remainder of the components so that people could sell somewhere and earn something, and there were times when they gave, well, at least 100 rubles each, and gave out a little bit, they kept it. people here in twenty-second new crisis, the economy of the kaliningrad region, largely connected with europe, falls from ninth to eighty-fourth place in the country. the departure of all the plant’s partners affects related industries, but the accumulated experience and the conditions of the special economic zone attracted new partners. by the way, we have already collaborated with the chinese cherry, and now her daughters and other brands, for example, bike and swl, have knocked on the door. it seemed to me that it was possible. to give up, in

this difficult situation, the author very quickly found new partners, well, really to say, at the same time, that it was not out of the sky that they fell on it, the plant had been working with chinese auto companies for a long time and here it was simply necessary , let’s say, to intensify communication, the plant established the assembly of a dozen models of new brands at once, it itself built a new dealer network, which wasn’t there before, i started distributing myself, let’s see how production is organized, there are several conveyors, a robot lives on the mezzanines, this is an automatic system that delivers the body to the required line, for russia this is a rather unique story, yes, when this building was built, this production jointly with european manufacturers, was designed from scratch.

this is the experience of european large modern factories. automation in many processes, with increasing production volumes and localization , what is the time period? when should there be maximum localization? from 24 to 29, reach a localization level of 80%. by the thirty-third year we must bring localization to 90%. a freshly assembled car is sent for testing. tell me, this is how many people who work here, how many... what kind of they have drives per day, well, out of the maximum possible up to 120 cars per shift, a person can check, by the way, we were able to drive the new cars, they are not on the market yet, but they will be launched in the near future, accordingly, to our market and, accordingly, to our customers i think

they will appreciate this car, but then the cars are not sent under their own power to the regions of russia, the first route by train to the port of baltiysk and further by sea is a service, government support came in handy. there are more ferries, now there are 25. according to rosmordey fleet, 3.8 billion rubles have been allocated for subsidies this year. now we can say that we have fully adapted, thanks, among other things, to support measures from the federal center, on the instructions of the president ; subsidies for the sea ferry line began last year; this year the government improved this mechanism and is now in full force. the second route is direct, transit through lithuania, it works, there are, of course, problems always in the works, but they are not promptly resolved. in 10 months of this year we have already we sent more than thirty routes, that ’s twice a week, next year we should

reach the so-called pre-station volumes, that’s two routes, at least two routes. and here the question is: is it really cheaper to assemble cars several thousand kilometers away? than importing them directly, it may not be cheaper, but it is more promising, it’s not just a matter of guaranteeing the availability of spare parts for the car, you need local production, you need to acquire competencies, you need to create jobs, you need increased payment of taxes to the budget state, mass, indicators that are more important than this or that profit of a separately operating... business education, even a dealer, even a conductor of the products that need to be imported directly. so, prospects, we came to the conclusion that we need more partners, so that we sit more closely in each production niche, and

the terms of the partnership should be slightly different, so that the partners cannot completely agree with each other and act as one... front against us, which we actually we are doing, we have six partners, today there will be eight, in fact, these workshops were built for one famous bavarian automaker, but what happened happened, and by the end of the year the production of chinese cars will start here, ironically, the german body helps to develop technological processes, the movement of robotic carts, by the end of the year they can assemble up to 50,000 cars , in the next year they are planning more than 100, assembling fifteen models at the same time and building new shops, in particular a paint shop, this is today, but what about tomorrow, and this is the answer to

the question is how everything will develop, a new production site, what i will do, auto components, the amount of investment is significant. this can be called a plant of factories, there will be as many as 12 of them. two of them: a lyceum and mechanical processing on a separate site , the rest here next year will begin to produce auto components that have not been made in russia before, for example, scroll compressors for air conditioners, compressors both for electric versions , that is , for electric cars, as well as with a mechanical drive, that is, for classic internal combustion engines. and also complex units - gearboxes, gearboxes. variators, inverters, power electronics, a separate plant for plastic parts, where in addition to casting there will be printing on a 3d printer, production of robotic equipment, these are, uh, technical means of rehabilitation, they are presented here, uh, semi-harvesting equipment,

including robotic, and uh, equipment, warehouse equipment, that is, loaders, stackers, river trucks, the plant will produce batteries for electric cars and this is the fruit of cooperation with rossat, which is building in a gigafactory in the region, but if there weren’t an autotor here, then why build a plant for the production of cells for electrical energy. the construction is progressing absolutely on schedule and we are aiming to put the plant into operation in the middle of twenty years. there has never been anything like this in the country, taking into account the development of the electric power industry in general. in particular, the significance of this construction project is difficult to overestimate. the new enterprise

is an important part of the country's technological sovereignty. this will be the largest industrial site in the region of 160,000 km, the production of almost 100 permanent jobs after discoveries. and we are now working very closely with rosatom in terms of providing assistance to construction , which is also partly subsidized, this construction, but in plan. the new infrastructure in the east of our region and educational institutions have actively involved us in this work; specialists are being trained for this plant. the factory will be able to equip up to 50,000 electric vehicles per year with batteries, and the main consumer is avtotur. from here we want to take a step further into the russian electric automobile industry. the battery is approximately 30%, 25-30% of the cost car. the task ahead is to create a complex energy heart of an electric motor.

a unique engine, which ranges from 20 kw to 150 kw, but to be precise, this is one principle of engines, but making it possible to comply with such power parameters, we will have our own engine, these are 120,000 engines of various powers, we will produce them ourselves, where should we put them? 120,000 electric motors, option one: this electric truck, an electric car, an engine, several times smaller than an internal combustion engine, easier to manufacture, lighter, well, for example, for the same china, electric cars, hybrids, this is already today, but what about in russia? and for russia everything is just beginning, including in kaliningrad, here they are already producing commercial electric vehicles in line for the passenger conveyor, that is, there are plans to replace the engines on contract cars with their own. this year we will produce at least

200 electric vehicles according to our obligations, which we will leave here in kaliningrad for endurance testing, taxis, car sharing there and others, next year we will begin serial production production. option two - your own electric car, not a competitor to contract ones, light, compact, affordable. working. the name for now is amber or amber. we would like to produce approximately 5,000 of these yantar cars next year. the plans include both a full-size car and a truck, not just electric vehicles, hybrids. we also bought an internal combustion engine, which can be the same mileage extender, an internal combustion engine, small, 1.3 liters, but it works as a generator charging the battery, a couple turns out. there is also the third option, where an electric motor will be useful.

there are 45 million cars in the country, the average age is 15 years, a tired heart can be replaced, remotorization can be carried out, it is especially interesting, and the life of such a car can be extended, especially for commercial vehicles, which is why we are standing next to a truck that has been 12 years old, and the frame , and the chassis and bridge. they are alive and the heart needed to be replaced, here we see an electric drive, this is an electric motor, a battery, a control system, an inverter, a charger, such an operation will be thanked by the nature and budget of the company, fuel costs are reduced by five times, at what stage is this now, there are already organizations that are ready to cooperate with you in this regard, there are trading companies. who are engaged in the transportation of goods. electrification should not be carried out

handicraft, at service stations, which eliminates problems with paperwork. and another important point: electric vehicles need gas stations. in particular, in the kaliningrad region in 2 years there are plans to install more 200 stations with public and private money. this will certainly require us to provide some kind of subsidy system for buyers of electric vehicles. we are doing this work, i think so. in some near future we will be able to voice political, let’s say, goals, by 2035 or 1940, for example, completely abandoning internal combustion engines. i think that we will please you with some first results next year. there is one idea to help sales, the price of the battery could be half the cost of the machine, why not sell it for lysine? we are discussing with our partners that it might still be possible to switch to an approach such as a battery as a service, when you simply remove the battery,

install a new one, and that means further recharging, their disposal and everything else, this is already a task. conditionally the manufacturer or operator of this system, now there are such refueling systems, when you drive up, the robot removes your battery, puts in a pre-charged one and you drive right away, don’t waste time, of course, it’s strange to expect that everything is huge in some places, very cold russia will quickly switch to electric cars and hybrids , well, there is a project to switch to blue fuel, then this car, it runs on gas, but this... is not made somewhere in a garage, yes, yes, not only is it powered by gas, it is powered by methane, it’s not propane , which is widespread, it’s natural gas, propane is a product of oil refining, and methane is an almost free gas that comes from the ground, that’s where it comes from value, that is, two cylinders were installed directly on the conveyor, which

they try not to eat up the volume of the trunk, the fact that we have not touched upon the body structure allows us to... certify this car, in the same way as mass-produced cars are certified, and the one who purchases such a car made in a factory is important, it will not run around the authorities, the first cars have already been produced with foreign partners, tests are underway, when we are convinced that everything works perfectly, we will put them on sale, this is next year, now we intend to produce 200 such cars. driving on methane is three times cheaper than gasoline. across the country, gazprom gas motor fuel has installed approximately 500 gas stations and it is necessary to further develop the network, as well as produce russian equipment. we decided to see how gas engine equipment is made. production was organized literally from scratch in the moscow region; there is even a clean room. now we'll show you everything. an environment where

there is not a speck of dust is needed for the production of an important piece of equipment, the valve. for the cylinder, and here it is very important, and i would like to emphasize, that the design documentation is ours, the production is ours , moreover, here is what we see - this is the final stage, the most critical stage in the production of these cylinder valves, the parts are produced by russian companies, it consists of about 40 different parts, here are the channels, a rather complex machining system for this valve, plus what you see, the body is not a cast product, it is stamped entirely from a brass bar to ensure the safety of this product, equipment that was made according to all rules, preserves the warranty on the car and eliminates the hassle of paperwork during

registration, how do you assess the needs and maybe even more accurately the potential demand for? car, i think, uh, that like mi, ah , we don’t stop at organizing the production of passenger cars, but we interact with almost all manufacturers, also trucks, so we expect that some brands are already using our equipment, which - they include it in their plans, so i’m sure that the twenty- fourth year, according to the numbers, it will beat records... russian gas equipment can cover the needs of the market with thousands of products per year; we are ready to produce more other products, compressor units and mobile tankers. together with autotovo, again, we are now working on the topic of a methane-electric car, well, i think

it’s too early to talk about this, this is an innovative topic, and i hope this year we will have a power unit based on four types of engines: gasoline, gas , electric, biofuel sequential hybrid. the most ambitious plans changes for the better in the russian automobile market would have been impossible without people who are professionals in their field. but for example, karet, almost 14 years at the plant, so to speak, veterans, even the future... circle here, met and experienced more than one crisis, well, admit it, some time there was a desire to give up, confidence completely melted there, well, that’s it, now we’ll definitely close, even the most difficult... times, there was still some kind of confidence, that’s why we’re still working here, yes, i didn’t give up , anatoly, at 26, is like a young man

a specialist, also better in his profession for 3 years in a row, this year he took first place, in particular, what is your task , what are you responsible for, what are you doing, i connect the electrical wiring in the engine compartment, connect the rocker to the box in front of the dachas, connecting engine control unit, it turns out that during all the crises we saved staff, began retraining personnel, well, for example, few people know, but we have almost a thousand, of which we simultaneously trained some people for our new factories, because their profession a machine operator, a smelter, garnovol there and so on, we don’t have one in kaliningrad, for new factories, only next year... we need to recruit about a thousand people, no specialists at all, there is now a shortage throughout the country, a scientific city is being built in kaliningrad kantianu, a world-class campus,

the state is increasingly involving companies in the educational process, this is both a practice and a guarantee of employment and increased productivity. we are seeing the first very significant results of the national project, on behalf of president adopted a national labor productivity project. large medium-sized companies were included in it, and we see how much more efficient enterprises can become. now i, as the head of the state council commission on small medium-sized businesses, we ask to lower this threshold further so that small companies, innovative companies can also work to increase their productivity , thanks to the national project and the competencies that we have developed over the past 5 years, personnel policy is not only normal. salary, a well-equipped workplace and a human schedule, this is 42, well here

, i’ll say it in a fashionable way, the last, here is the last cry of the soul of any professional athlete, we have, from exercise machines to swimming pools, this is the latest technology in world sports, as you saw today lifting... yes, which we have here in the olympic pool for this right here, yes, in the pool the modern purification system makes almost drinking water, in general there are many rooms, a multi-purpose hall where there is basketball, gymnastics and martial arts, halls for yoga, aerobics, a lot of things, this can be said to be the heart of our sports palace, and the football arena, the arena, as we call it, our surface is made in germany, behind us is a climbing wall, one of the largest indoor climbing walls in russia, a football the field is certified by the

fifa federation, the commission came in full at one time. adam barakhoev, who, by the way, was recognized as the best freestyle wrestling coach in the world in 2008, said that the plant built a sports palace for 4,500 people, of course... of course, we have already had competitions, we have had the russian cup in strong swimming several times, i don’t even think about the regional ones, in february we will have one of the stages of the russian cup in swimming, normal conditions for living and working - this includes new housing, benefits for factory workers to buy an apartment, by the way, when a conveyor belt is involved in construction, well, it’s clearly better than a reduction in order to support financially, land, and now a new page,

the company is recruiting employees, increasing investments, we have a special investment contract, it is designed for our investments including for so on for 32 billion. we are now preparing a new addition to this contract. according to our calculations, the volume of investments will double, it will no longer be 32 billion, but somewhere around 60-70 billion. we believe that this initiative should be supported, we help them too, in communication with federal colleagues, with the ministry of industry, the ministry of finance, the ministry of economics , we really hope that everything will work out for them, we will get completely localized, russian -made cars, that is, with the launch of new factories, there will no longer be a separate auto tour, no the kaliningrad... region, in general, the russian auto industry receives the production of auto components that were not made here before, technological and production independence from external factors, and if everything

goes as it is... they are planning on autotor, and i am sure that it will be so , the enterprise will become not only the largest assembly plant, as it has always been for the last 30 years, but will also become the largest manufacturer of components necessary for the russian automotive industry. technologies are also emerging to create your own car as much as possible, not yesterday, quite modern electric vehicles and hybrids, but contract production itself can also be scaled up, the company, for example, is not against buying... so that the client can order, i want a yellow one with such and such an interior, with such and such an engine, well, as he orders in the west, our current factories cannot do this, they are built for other technologies, and we are building ours, just for this technology, for a small series,

low... groups. and in conclusion, one interesting point. remember the empty workshop, which was built for bmw. if they suddenly want to come back. this door is already closed, the road train has left or whatever. both the legal and factual side of the matter is that we have not stopped cooperation. we have , in order to implement them, we will need very specific plans for this, and for a month and a half, we have decided everything. as a result , it turns out that new challenges and crises only help development. new experience and new opportunities, including for the automobile industry of the kaliningrad region, which was just beginning to emerge in the mid-nineties.
