:''This page is about the Russian truck factory. For other meanings, see Amur (disambiguation).'' ''For "Ural Trucks" see Ural Automotive Plant'' AMUR (Russian АМУР) is an initialism for ЗАО Автомобили и моторы Урала (English: JSC "Ural Automobiles and Motors") - a Russian company, a former manufacturer of commercial vehicles, located in Novouralsk, a closed town in Sverdlovsk Oblast, Russia. Prior to 2004, AMUR was called Уральский автомоторный завод (УАМЗ) ("Ural Automotive Plant" (UamZ))). AMUR declared bankruptcy and ceased operations in 2012 with all assets to be sold off.〔http://66.ru/auto/news/117808/ Famous factory "Automobiles and Motors of the Urals" ceased to exist dated 6 May 2012〕 ==History== The Ural Automotor Factory was founded in 1967 as one of the subsidiaries of Zavod imeni Likhachova, more commonly known as ZiL subordinated to the USSR Ministry of Automotive Industry. In 1977, the factory started their own production of vehicles, first of which was a terrain truck ZiL-157. In 1987, the factory expanded its commercial production of trucks to ZIL-130 and ZIL-131, and their common trailers. By 1992, the factory had mastered the production of special equipment vehicles based on its original trucks. In 1992, after the collapse of Soviet Union, the factory was privatized from the Ministry of Automotive Industry and reorganized into the Joint-Stock Company under the name of "Ural Automotor Plants" (RU-"UAMZ"). The management did not survive separation from the central economics of former Soviet Union, and in 2002, the factory declared bankruptcy. In 2003, the Bank of Northern Treasury (holding North Prom Cohen) bought the remaining assets from the bankruptcy, and, in 2004, pursued reorganization into CJSC "Ural Automobiles and Motors", abbreviated as "AMUR".〔ZIL twins found in the Amur http://www.kommersant.ru/Doc-rss/532547〕 In May 2004, AMUR and India's Tata Motors entered into a contract to build TATA trucks at the factory. Together, they co-produced two models of Tata-407 and Tata-613 branded as Amur-4346. The partners planned on signing a 3-year contract, with the release of up to 5,000 trucks per year.〔Automobiles and Motors of the Urals have released the first trucks Tata Motors http://www.uraltrans.ru/?path=/info/news/&skip=210〕〔Joint-Stock Company "Ural Automobiles and Motors' plans to conclude a three-year contract with Tata Motorshttp://mynews-in.net/news/economy/1026337.html〕 But the project was never realized.

On July 16, 2010, AMUR and French manufacturer Renault Trucks entered into a joint venture for the production of light-duty trucks Midlum, under which the production would be placed at AMUR facilities. In the joint venture, AMOUR was investing facilities and operating capital, and Renault Trucks was investing its manufacturing know-how and technology.〔Renault Trucks will collect Midlum trucks on the Amur http://www.urto-renault.ru/news/107/〕 In July 2011, the joint venture was suspended due to AMUR's financial distress and bankruptcy. Commencing from 2012, AMUR's management is looking for new investors to recover the company.〔Drowned Motors http://aktualno.ru/view/sverdlovsk/business/6441%D0%90%D0%9C%D0%A3%D0%A0〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Amur (company)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
