It is specified that with the money received from the FRP, Sollers will purchase new equipment: foam filling machines, component assembly lines, cutting and sewing equipment, lines for installing printed circuit boards and assembling control units of passive safety systems, as well as stands for testing and inspections of all products.

Production will be launched at a plant in Ulyanovsk. Consumers of products will be enterprises of the Sollers group, as well as other Russian manufacturers of cars and light commercial vehicles. The project provides for the creation of more than 200 new jobs. The total investment is estimated at 1.5 billion rubles.
