Despite the reduction in production, Uzbekistan increased the export of cars by more than a third. 28,952 cars were delivered abroad for a total cost of $281.8 million, which is more by 10,401 units than a year earlier.

During the reporting period, the following countries were the major importers of Uzbek-made cars:

Kazakhstan – 26,970
Ukraine – 929
Russia – 456
Azerbaijan – 277
Afghanistan – 128
Kyrgyzstan – 94
Tajikistan – 88

Last summer, the car factory launched a unified platform for the development of new models, starting with Onix and Tracker. As a result, the production of almost all cars fell sharply in August (although the production of Lacetti increased later).
