What Uzavtosanoat Joint Stock Co does

Uzavtosanoat Joint Stock Co (O'zavtosanoat AJ) is a vertically integrated three-level holding company founded in 1994, headquartered in Tashkent, and 100% state-owned by the Agency for Strategic Reforms under the President of the Republic of Uzbekistan. It coordinates more than 60 automotive enterprises spanning vehicle assembly, component manufacturing, localization, and dealer operations across Uzbekistan, employing over 10,000 people. The company's core operating subsidiaries include UzAuto Motors JSC, which produces Chevrolet vehicles (Cobalt, Onix, and other models); UzAuto Motors Powertrain, focused on engine and drivetrain manufacturing; Alyans Auto MChJ at the Jizzakh plant, which produces Volkswagen passenger and commercial vehicles; and BYD Uzbekistan Factory JV LLC, a joint venture with BYD established in December 2022 that manufactures new energy vehicles including DM-i super hybrid models and the BYD Yuan Up electric SUV.

The business operates a multi-revenue model anchored in hardware sales of passenger and commercial vehicles, complemented by after-sales service and warranty (3 years or 100,000 km on Chevrolet vehicles), plus automotive component manufacturing and localization services across the 60-enterprise supply chain. Go-to-market combines a nationwide official dealer network, an inside-sales call center, and direct enterprise sales channels serving government and fleet buyers; international dealer channels exist for Chevrolet exports to Georgia. The product portfolio pairs legacy ICE vehicles (Chevrolet, Volkswagen) with a rapidly scaling EV and hybrid line (BYD DM-i super hybrid, BYD Yuan Up, BYD Song Plus UzPride), backed by a $800 million phased investment program at the Jizzakh facility targeting 500,000 vehicles per year capacity and a national strategic goal of 1 million vehicles per year by 2030.

Technology deployment centers on automotive manufacturing systems, BYD's vertically integrated EV supply chain (powertrains, power batteries, automotive semiconductors, motors, and motor controllers) accessed through the JV, and applied AI for manufacturing quality control, occupational safety, energy efficiency, and press-office virtual assistants. The company holds BIQ IV and ISO 9001 certifications, with a planned international ESG rating for 2026, and is undergoing a multi-year state-mandated privatization program transferring shares in 100+ enterprises to the State Asset Management Agency.
