Derways

2003 - Assembly of the prototype SUV Derways "Cowboy" (Derways 3131), which was first exhibited at the "Russian International Motor Show" in Moscow. The car was built on a Romanian ARO chassis, and later, Chinese chassis were used. The "Cowboy" passed all tests at the NAMI test site and received certification.

2004 - The opening of the plant and the start of mass production. By the end of the year, the plant reached a production level of 5,000 vehicles annually.

2006 - Production of the Derways "Cowboy" was suspended due to the bankruptcy of ARO. The company then began localizing Chinese cars, including the Derways-313120/313121 Shuttle (320 units produced), Derways-313150 Aurora (351 units produced), Derways-313130 Land Crown (a copy of the Toyota Land Cruiser 90, 33 units produced), and Derways-313140 Saladin (a copy of a Nissan model from Zhengzhou, 38 units produced). A total of 788 cars were produced that year.

2007 - Production of the Derways-233300 Plutus pickup truck began, a copy of the Chevrolet Colorado. A trilateral agreement was signed with Lifan and the Avtomir group for assembling SKD kits, with plans to transition to a full SKD production of at least 25,000 vehicles per year starting in 2009. The plant also began assembling Lifan Breez cars.

2009 - Full-cycle production began, including welding, body painting, and complete assembly of Lifan-7131A/7161A Breez hatchbacks, carried out at the Derways-1 plant.

2010 - In the autumn, an additional production line with a capacity of 25,000 vehicles per year was launched. The production of Haima 3 cars, from the Chinese company Hainan Mazda, commenced. Plans were made to produce 900 Haima 3 sedans and hatchbacks by the end of the year.

2011 - The Haima 2, based on the Mazda 2, went into production at the beginning of the year.

2015 - Due to a decline in sales of Chinese cars, production was reduced by half.
