The SOLLERS Group has launched the production of the Sollers SF7 light commercial vehicle range at the plant in Yelabuga. The first serial units rolled off the assembly line at “SOLLERS Alabuga” in the presence of the President of the Republic of Tatarstan Rustam Minnikhanov and the Chairman of the Board of Directors of PJSC “SOLLERS” Adil Shirinov.
The Sollers SF7 family includes all-metal vans with a gross weight of 5.5 tons and a body volume of 16.4 m³, as well as passenger buses with a capacity of up to 22 people. The basic configuration includes two airbags, ABS, ESP, a multimedia system, and air conditioning.
The production of the new model is organized using a full-cycle technology with body welding and painting. Additional treatment of the bodies with cathodic electrophoretic coating provides reliable corrosion protection.
The Sollers SF7 (СФ7) is equipped with Russian-made units: a 2.7-liter diesel engine with 150 hp, known from the SF5 (СФ5) model, and a 6-speed manual transmission. The production of components was previously established at SOLLERS plants in Yelabuga and Zavolzhye with the support of the Industrial Development Fund (IDF).
The production project entails further phased deepening of localization of the Sollers SF7 (SF7), including stamped body parts, electronics, interior and exterior elements.
The enterprise operates a multi-stage quality control system, including inspection on the test line, a vibration stand, air and water tests, as well as a track simulating more than 10 different types of road surfaces. Selected bodies undergo nondestructive testing stations, ultrasonic inspection of weld points, and three-coordinate geometry control.
“In just four years since restarting production on the new model line in Yelabuga, the SOLLERS Group has created the most advanced competence center in Russia for the manufacturing of light commercial vehicles and engines – today, the widest range of commercial vehicles and powertrains with a high level of localization is produced here. With the launch of Sollers SF7, we complete the formation of SOLLERS’ light commercial vehicle model lineup, which now maximally covers all possible business needs in this segment. We are confident that the Sollers SF7 will be in demand both in the passenger transportation market and in freight transportation thanks to its unique combination of increased capacity, practicality, and city-friendly dimensions,” he noted. Adil Shirinov, Chairman of the Board of Directors of PJSC “SOLLERS”.
The warranty for all versions of the Sollers SF7 will be 2 years with no mileage limit.
