Chelyabinsk Tractor Plant (Russian: Челябинский тракторный завод, romanized: Chelyabinskiy traktornyy zavod, abbreviated ЧТЗ, ChTZ) also known as CTZ-Uraltrak (ЧТЗ-УРАЛТРАК)[5] is a tractor construction plant in the Russian city of Chelyabinsk.
History
The Chelyabinsk Tractor plant was a project of the first five-year plan.[6] The plant was founded in 1933; the first product was a 60 hp tracked tractor C-60 (Сталинец-60, Stalinets-60) fueled by petroleum ether (Benzine). In 1937 the factory produced its first diesel-powered vehicle C-65 (Сталинец-65, Stalinets-65). By 1940 the plant had produced 100,000 tractors.[1]
During
Post World War II conventional tractor production resumed with the С-80 (Сталинец-80, Stalinets-80) entering serial production in 1946. The plant reverted to its original name of Chelyabinsk Tractor factory in 1958. In 1961 a tractor with diesel electric transmission entered production: DET-250 (ДЭТ-250). The millionth tractor from CTZ was produced in 1984.[1]
In 1990 a tractor with a hydromechanical transmission system entered production (T-10).[1]
In 2008 the company acquired 100% of amphibious tracked machine building company "Vityaz" (Витязь);[1] both are now part of the Uralvagonzavod holding group which Uraltrak established in association with other companies.[10]
By 8 May 2022, due to sanctions imposed after the
In 2023, the factory itself was sanctioned by the United States and Ukraine due to its supply of engines to Russian troops for military equipment. On 26 November 2023, an explosion occurred at the plant, causing a "severe fire".[14]
Operations and products
The organisation includes foundry and forging facilities, metal engineering facilities (CNC, lathes, heat treatment) as well as construction and assembly workshops.[3]
As of 2011, Chelyabinsk Tractor Plant produces wheeled and tracked tractors and related modified vehicles, and related parts,
Since 2010 the company has manufactured fork lifts under license from Bulgarian company Balkancar Record,[17]
The company also produces road tanker vehicles, semi-trailers and pipe installation road vehicles.[18]
Subsidiaries
Since 2008 Machine engineering company 'Vityaz' (Машиностроительная компания "Витязь") has been a subsidiary of CTZ-Uraltrak.[10] The company produces the Vityaz line of tracked all-terrain vehicles with amphibious capabilities.[19]
