Russia’s Ulyanovsk Automobile Plant (UAZ) plans to resume production of the UAZ-469 sport utility vehicle (SUV) early in March, a spokesman said.

The new UAZ-469 will be an upgraded version of the original model, the spokesman told Prime-Tass, adding that the decision was based on corporate customers’ demand.

UAZ-469 production started in 1972 and ended in 1985.
