“Thousands of Lacetti and Cobalt cars are waiting for a single component” - UzAuto Motors 

Uzavtosanoat press service informed Kun.uz that the cars in the videos spread on social networks have not been handed over to their owners due to the absence of a single necessary component. The company did not specify which part it is.

“UzAuto Motors company has repeatedly stated in the media that despite the significant increase in production volume during the global crisis, it is experiencing a severe shortage of critical components.

In the last two years, the world car market has faced a number of global problems, such as the consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic, the microchip crisis, logistics and the geopolitical situation in Europe.

These cataclysms affected all car manufacturers in the world. Other automakers have been forced to significantly reduce production, cut options and jobs, and even shut down assembly lines at factories.

UzAuto Motors is increasing the production volume by implementing comprehensive measures to prevent the stoppage of conveyors without reducing jobs.However, despite the measures taken, there are interruptions in the delivery of the necessary microchip parts to Uzbekistan by the manufacturers.

The cars shown in this video are almost ready-made cars that are impossible to hand over to their owners due to the lack of a single necessary component,” Uzavtosanoat siad in a statement. 

Based on the data of UzAvtoSavdo_bot, as of November 23, there were 47,769 units of Cobalt and 41,991 units of Lacetti.
