This was reported by the press service of the enterprise, recalling that production will be organized at the facilities of the Nissan plant in St. Petersburg. The day before, the enterprise was visited by the governor of St. Petersburg Alexander Beglov and the president of AvtoVAZ Maxim Sokolov.
Both noted that the most important task is the retention of the plant’s workforce.
Production will start soon, it will be crossovers and sedans under the Lada brand, belonging to segments C and D. Everything necessary for assembly is provided by one or several partners.
These will be Chinese cars – you should not make this an open secret. Although we are negotiating with many manufacturers in the South Asian region, we have made the greatest progress with the Chinese one. It is still too early to name specific companies. Or maybe it will be more than one company,” Maxim Sokolov, head of AvtoVAZ, said earlier.
In the medium term, the aim is to localize production and achieve technological sovereignty. In an interview with the Russia 24 channel, Maxim Sokolov said that the growing share of Chinese manufacturers is becoming a threat to Russia.
