The history of automotive industry starts back in 1929, when the Soviet government took a decision to create an automobile plant in Nizhny Novgorod. This important decision defined the role of this region as the place where the most important branches of industry were motor-car construction, engine construction and car assembly, a branch of industry formed by assembly facilities and car component manufacturers which were created later on.
Today "GAZ" occupies a special place in Russian automotive industry. It is the only company in the country that produces such a wide range of trucks and passenger vehicles, special equipment and spare parts.
In 2005 on the basis of GAZ plant, a large group was formed which included four bus plants (Pavlovo Bus Plant, Likino Bus Plant, Golitsyno Bus Plant, Kurgan Bus Plant), Kanash Auto Unit Plant, Saransk Dump Truck Plant, Yaroslavl Fuel Equipment Plant. As a result of such consolidation of assets the company’s capitalization increased and the structure of GAZ became compliant with the international automotive corporation standards. GAZ gained access to markets of capitals and gave an impetus to the integration of Russian automotive industry into the global automotive industry.
Share of GAZ JSC in production of vehicles in Russia is as follows: passenger cars - 6,5 %, trucks - 55,6%, buses - 47,9%. Its annual output is more than 230 thousand vehicles, 52,4% of them are trucks, 17,2% - buses, 30,3% - passenger cars. The annual turnover of GAZ JSC is approximately $2 billion.
Among the enterprises of Nizhny Novgorod region belonging to GAZ Group are Arzamas Machinery Plant OJSC, Zavolzhie Caterpillar Tractor Plant OJSC and Pavlovo Bus OJSC.
Zavolzhie Engine Plant JSC, part of Severstal Company, is also of a great importance for the region. They supply their products to many members of GAZ Group and to Ulianovsk Automobile Plant.
The range of automotive products is extended by assembly facilities which use chassis of GAZ and other Russian automobile plants.
KOMMASH JSC. Main products of the company are as follows: suction machines, disposal trucks, sprinklers, sand-spreading cars, street-cleaning cars and sanitation trucks.
Samatlor Industrial Group (SEMAR Closed JSC) – production of buses and special purpose vehicles on the chassis of GAZ and bus assembly (MAZ-103) in cooperation with MAZ Company (Belarus).
Special Vehicle Plant JSC and Chaika-Service located on its working area produce special purpose vehicle on "GAZ" chassis.
Among essential partners of automakers are car component manufacturers. One of the largest companies producing fixing elements in Krasnaya Etna Plant JSC. Among the suppliers of many Russian automobile plants are such companies as: Agat Group, Lyskovo Electrical Plant OJSC, Pustyn Closed JSC, Sotex Closed JSC, TechnoPlast Closed JSC, Teploobmennik JSC etc. All of them, depending on their specialization, ensure the continuous process of automobile production in Nizhny Novgorod and the region.
An increase in the number of newly created automotive companies in Russia which manufacture vehicles under the world leading trademarks makes them prospective consumers of car components produced by enterprises in Nizhny Novgorod. Thus, the following companies can be regarded as prospective consumers of car components: Nissan Motors, Toyota Motors, Ford Motors, DeimlerChrysler, Fiat, GM, Volkswagen, Hyundai, KIA, Great Wall, Chery etc.
Agat Group has developed a project of car component production modernization at Agat Plant JSC, Car Hydraulics Department.
The main purpose of the project is provision of domestic and foreign automakers (having production facilities in Russia) with high-quality and high-tech brake hydraulic systems.
The project was fully worked over by technical, production, commercial and economic services of Agat Group.
The Japanese party can participate in modernization of car component production.
It is suggested to give preference in the short run to domestic car manufacturers together with development of production of components for foreign cars which should be followed by full transition to production of these very artiсles.
Consideration of variants of location of car component production for existing and new-founded automotive plants situated in Russia and for supplying foreign companies with components.
The company is open for domestic and foreign customers as well as for prospective investors.
Creation of a joint venture in cooperation with Nissan or Toyota for production of car seats and other articles from integral foam (head restraints, elbow rests, steering wheels etc) for Nissan and Renault cars (and, in future, Toyota cars) to be manufactured in Russia.
Sotex Closed JSC shall provide premises, equipment and manpower. Nissan shall supply technical documentation, technologies and staff training.
Creation of a joint venture in cooperation with Nissan or Toyota for production of bumpers for the complete range of car models to be manufactured by those companies in Russia as well as for Renault cars.
The company needs a Western partner to participate in plant construction, and creation of facilities aluminum car heat exchangers using special technologies.
Suggest to the Japanese party considering provision of assistance in developing alternative energy in Russia, and in setting up production of aero generator components. The pant has capacities to prepare for the production of advanced high-technology constructions. The company needs help of a design company to carry out analysis of existing wind-driven power plants projects of foreign companies and design of a high-reliability and competitive wind turbine.
Interest of the Japanese party:
1. Creation in Nizhny Novgorod region new facilities for production of car components will promote product localization for the future Toyota and Nissan automotive plants (Leningradskaya Oblast) and for existing Renault plant in Moscow. Nissan and Renault are partners.
2. Taking into account the global trend of unification and the use of common platforms for creation of new car models, output quality and principles of production organization other existing and newly created facilities of foreign companies on Russia as well as local car manufacturers can be considered as prospective customers. The following companies should be regarded as principal consumers of such products: Ford Motors, DeimlerChrysler, Fiat, GM, Volkswagen, enterprises of GAZ group, AutoVAZ, UAZ etc.
At present a number of companies such as Weigel GmbH/Co.KG (car component suppliers for Volkswagen), John Deere (agricultural equipment manufacturer) are looking for partners in order to create facilities for car component production in Nizhny Novgorod region. Hence, it is necessary to consider the question of creation of facilities for car component production in cooperation with Nizhny Novgorod, Japanese and all abovementioned enterprises.
Consider at the initial stage the options assembly facilities location in Nizhny Novgorod region and, in future, complete cycle plants for the production of:
This project is intended for manufacturing of unique equipment for block plexiglas production using entirely new technologies. The capacity of the installation is 360 tons per year.
The possible dimensions of plexiglas may vary from 3 mm to 120 mm. That is why it has a wide field of application: it can be used in everyday life, architecture, mechanical engineering, aircraft industry.
It is proposed to rent manufacturing facilities with existing engineering infrastructure at the construction site (water supply, heating, energy supply, sewage, ventilation etc).
Full investment cost of the project will amount to 90 million RUR without VAT, where 75 million RUR is the cost of manufacturing of a 3-module installation and 15 million RUR is the cost of construction, assembly and commissioning work.
One cannot overestimate the importance of block plexiglas. Only block method can be used to receive a plastic material with optimum physical, chemical and optical characteristics like atmosphere resistance, UV-resistance, durability, high chemical stability etc. The particular advantages of block method of plexiglas production become apparent when articles of various thickness, colour and specific properties are produced. Such articles may include products with an increased radiation and X-ray resistance, those with a possibility of use in tropical climate and an increased heat-resistance (up to 180°С), non-combustible articles and multi-layer (including bullet-proof) plastic materials.

Tearing strength: not less than 77.5 MPa 2. Elongation at fracture: not less than 3.5% | For glazing of airplanes, helicopters and boats; as constructional material for machines, instrument-making industry and other branches of industry |
Despite the fact that the control over the balance between plexiglas production and consumption has been lost since about 1990, it is still possible to have an approximate estimation of the situation. Within the framework of the pre-existing system of centralized applications and fund distribution by 1990 there were 65 applicants with a total requirement of 60 thousand tons of plexiglas per year. Analysis of the required plexiglas range showed that at least 40 thousand tons per year can be considered to be extruded polymetylmethacrylate. The share of block plexiglas amounted to 20 tons per month. The decline in plexiglas production that was witnessed during the past 15 years of its industrial production surely had an impact on its former consumers. If we consider plexiglas production to decline by 70%, then the plexiglas demand will amount to 12000 tons per year. This leads to the conclusion that the real size of the block plexiglas market can amount to at least to 3000 tons per year.
The abovementioned guideline - 3000 tons of block plexiglas per year - is the minimum quantity that can really be produced on the local market in the nearest future. At the same time key specialists think that in the middle-term outlook the market in Russia and adjacent regions can supply up to 20 tons of block plexiglas per year, but only if the supplied products are competitive enough in terms of prices and quality in comparison with similar products manufactured abroad. This is the purpose of the new block plexiglas production method that we developed.

Description of plexiglas manufacturing method.
Technical description of the product.
Construction of a plant for producing polypropylene pipes and shaped products.
Russia has one of the longest pipelines in the world, the second after the USA. At present time Nizhny Novgorod region is running about 1 million km of external pipelines within the housing and utilities infrastructure and about 3 million km of housing pipelines. There are also industrial pipelines and internal pipelines of non-residential facilities the total length of which is also significant.
Operating characteristics of polymer pipes are equal to those of metal pipes but at the same time the service life of polymer pipes is 6 times longer and their installation is 3 times less expensive.
The polymer pipe production is not yet developed, so, as a result, shortage is compensated by a considerable import of products from Germany, Italy, the Czech Republic, Turkey and Poland.
Prices for imported products are at least 1,5 times higher than the price of the products that will be manufactured under this project.
This project offers an idea of creation of a polymer pipe production in Nizhegordskaya Oblast that is able to meet competition and respond to dynamic needs of this region and, in the future, to the needs of other regions of Volga Federal District.
Sewer pipes with flared ends for internal pipelines, Ø 40, 50 and 110 mm, 387 tons per month.
Shaped products for sewer pipelines (couplings, taps, T-joints etc), 157 tons per month.
Pressure pipes PN 10 for cold water supply, 74 tons per month.
Pressure pipes PN 16 for hot water supply, 101 tons per month. Pressure pipes PN 20 for heating, 295,5 tons per month.
Shaped products for pressure pipelines (couplings, angles, T-joints etc), 341 tons per month.
The following funding sources can be used: a commercial or a banking credit, financial leasing, participation of investment partners (share capital creation). There is no owned capital.
Technical projects of extrusion lines for production of sewer and pressure polypropylene pipes.
Technical projects of press molds for shaped products production by means of die casting.

The purpose of this project is creation of used tire recycling facilities. The final products of used tire recycling are: fine rubber powder (65% of the feed stock), metal scraps of tire yarn and base rings (25%), and textile waste of tire yarn (10%). The abovementioned products are in their turn raw materials for rubber technical and chemical industry.
In accordance with this project a new factory is created with the production premises of 900 m2 and warehouses of 720m2, and annual production volume of 6000 tons (calculated on the basis of the amount of initial raw material and three-shift work). The said capacity allows for recycling about 40% of the annual quantity of used tires in Nizhny Novgorod.
36.3 million RUR, including internal funds at the amount of 3 million RUR.
6-7 months (to be precised in the project).
The dynamics of car fleet growth in all developed countries leads to continuous accumulation of used tires. Scrap tires out of use are a source of pollution of the environment for the following reasons:
At the same time used tires contain valuable raw materials such as caoutchouc, metals and textile tire yarn.
The problem of used tire recycling has a great environmental and economic significance for all the developed countries of the world. As the natural oil stock is irreplaceable, it is necessary to provide the maximum efficiency of the use of secondary resources.
The car fleet in Nizhny Novgorod alone by January 1, 2006, consisted of about 300 000 vehicles, including 210000, which, in accordance with norms, equals to 3780 tons of used tires per year. There are about 90000 trucks and passenger vehicles which give in their turn 10800 tons of used tires per year. The total quantity of recycled tires in 2006 can be estimated as 14500 – 15000 pieces.
The proposed project allows for recycling about 40% of the annual quantity of tires in Nizhny Novgorod.
Output of future products:
It is also planned to create a plant for general rubber goods production from recycled products.
Business plan of used tire recycling facilities.
