On January 29, 2014 AVOVAZ resumed production of LADA Priora on modernized line of main conveyor.
LADA Priora assembly has moved from second line of main conveyor to third line which was completely rearranged. Target of modernization is to create modern assembly facility with universal equipment corresponding to Renault-Nissan Alliance requirements. With a new line it will be possible to assemble different class cars: LADA Priora, future LADA cars on universal B/C platform, B0 platform cars. Production management system is similar to existing assembly process for B0 cars.

During first step of modernization hinges, floors, lighting, were replaced, routes and heights of main and auxiliary conveyors were modified to match new suspensions' size and new assembly process based on AIMS standards, likewise a new body transfer line was introduced to transfer bodies from paint suspensions to assembly ones. Also arrangement of workstations was optimized; power supply was improved as well as equipment reliability. Taking into account Alliance production standards all this will greatly contribute to cars quality.
LADA Priora assembly has started in commissioning mode. In the beginning of February it is planned to achieve pace of 25 cars per hour and then pace will be increased up to maximum 60 cars per hour.
