UzAuto Motors

Formerly UzAuto Motors had also manufactured vehicles under the Ravon marque, which is Uzbek for calm and straight road or easy journey.

[3] The initiative to establish the Uzbek automobile industry goes back to the early 1990s and the administration of President of Uzbekistan Islam Karimov.

[4] Following Daewoo's collapse in 2001, and resulting change of ownership, "GM Uzbekistan" was eventually established in March 2008 as a new replacement joint venture, and the Nexia and Matiz were sold under the Chevrolet badge together with an extended range of GM Korea Chevrolet models produced at the Asaka factory.

[8] Another plant produced 200,000 units of front- rear- and side windows for the vehicles of the Uz-DaewooAvto and the Chevrolet Lacetti.

[9] A third production facility was opened in 2014 in Pitnak, Khorezm Region, manufacturing the Damas/Labo microvans and the Chevrolet Orlando minivan.

[15] In 2020, UzAuto began importing the Chevrolet Equinox, Trailblazer, Traverse, and Tahoe SUVs, with intent to produce them locally if there is sufficient demand.

[18] In August 2021, Swedish entrepreneur Bo Andersson was named chief executive officer of the company.

[23] The company created monopoly in the country, as a result locals do not have many choices other than buying its cars with higher price.
