2025: Launch of the full cycle of car production in Russia using industrial robots

The Automobile Technologies Automobile Plant in the Kaluga Region has launched mass production of Haval M6 crossovers in full production cycle mode using industrial robots and modernized equipment. The transition to full-cycle production required a large-scale reconstruction of the welding and painting sections of the enterprise. This was reported by the press service of the company on July 28, 2025.

The contract for the production of Haval cars at the leased facilities of the plant in the Kaluga region was signed at the end of 2024. After the agreement was concluded, the labor team was withdrawn from downtime and new employees were recruited to ensure the production process.

Large assembly of the M6 model was carried out from February 2025 until the transition to a full production cycle. To implement the project, the company carried out a comprehensive modernization of welding and painting workshops with the installation of modern robotic equipment.

The plant reorganized welding sites with a total area of ​ ​ about 2800 square meters. More than 50% of the available production equipment was adapted specifically for the M6 project, which required significant technical improvements.

As part of the modernization, the company installed 15 industrial robots to automate welding processes. The production line is equipped with more than 40 welding tongs for manual and robotic welding, about 10 arc welding devices in the environment of protective gases and more than 20 electric waists.

To form the geometry and weld of the body, about 30 new pneumatic and electric welding conductors M6 developed and installed. The technical equipment was supplemented by two new heavy-duty robots with an expanded working area for complex operations.^[1]
