Improving the quality, reliability, durability and environmental safety of production is important strategic goal for any producer and contributes greatly into the image of trade mark and competitive strength of product. Since the end of the 20th century it has apparently been shown that global expansion and human activity has threatened the ecological safety margin of our planet. The aftermath of ecological disasters incurred by human beings and their products could be irreversible. It became clear that the internal-combustion engine and automotive manufacture as a whole influenced not only local environments, but also created global effects with significant consequences. Nature calls for a competent and careful attitude. It is substantial that mankind rethink how important are the tasks of the environmental protection, preservation of natural resources and maintaining stable environment. This study analyzes AVTOVAZ influence on the environment.

Usually, the main considerations for a car customer are price, comfort, safety, economy, practicality, aesthetics and design. The dynamics of these factors during car use are also important. Recently one more important car characteristic became firmly established: the ecological compatibility of car during its total life cycle. This included numerous environmental requirements: the consumption of energy and materials during car production and use, exhaust toxicity, the contents of ecologically unfriendly substances in used materials, the ELV (end-of-life vehicle) dismantling time, and the suitability of parts and materials for reuse and recycling. During development and manufacturing LADA cars, AVTOVAZ considered and solved several environmental problems: reduction of harmful substances, toxicity of exhausted gases, and applying more qualitative materials.
