OREANDA-NEWS  In addition, the toxicity level of domestic cars is measured separately. For this purpose, exhaust gas measurements are carried out every 10-15 thousand km at the Motor test center of the Zavolzhsky branch of UAZ.

Two more prototypes are involved in tests for the reliability of the main components and assemblies — in total, they traveled about 100 thousand km in difficult conditions.: over broken roads, viscous soil, and complete off-road conditions. The test pilots note that there have been no emergencies at the moment. The manufacturer notes that earlier the 2.0-liter diesel engine with a capacity of 136 hp, designed for the Patriot, Pickup and Pro models, was tested in difficult conditions: the tests took place in heat and frost, as well as in the highlands.

At the beginning of 2026, UAZ announced an increase in production outside the Russian Federation. Ulyanovsk Automobile Plant (UAZ) in the coming 2026 intends to increase the volume of production of its cars at the assembly site in Cuba. In 2025, several dozen machines rolled off the assembly lines of the enterprise.
