The public company Yaroslavl Diesel Engine Plant (Avtodizel) is Russia's leading diesel engine maker manufacturing multi-role diesel engines, clutches, gear-boxes, as well as related spare parts, components and stationary units.

Avtodizel engines are installed on more than 300 types of motor vehicles, trailers, pit-and-quarry dump trucks, conventional dump trucks, airport prime-movers, harvesters, timber carriers, excavators and buses manufactured by leading Russian, Belarusian and Ukrainian companies. They are also a vital element of diesel generators and units.

In October 2007, Avtodizel started manufacturing the new-generation in-line engine YaMZ-650 under a Renault Trucks production license.

YaMZ-650-type engines have a modern design and components, and a mileage of 1,000,000 km.

These fuel-efficient engines are 300 kg lighter than current production engines. Just like all other modern in-line engines, the YaMZ-650 matches Euro-3 international environmental standards.

Avtodizel is successfully mastering production of a new family of YaMZ-530 medium-size in-line diesel engines, developed by engineering company AVL List in 2008.

The YaMZ-530 matches Euro-4 environmental standards and can also be converted to Euro-5 standards.

In 2007, Avtodizel launched production of diesel engines matching Euro-3 environmental standards and manufactured 5,438 engines in this category from August 2007 till February 2008.

Throughout 2007, Avtodizel manufactured 30,753 gear-boxes and 69,844 clutch disks. Corporate products cost a total of 17,842,097,000 roubles ($637 million) last year.
