A new car plant is opened in Kyrgyzstan, where Chevrolet cars will be produced. The start of production is scheduled for 2023. The technological partner of the project is the Uzbek company Uzavtosanoat, which produces Chevrolet cars at the plants of UzAuto Motors.
Experts suggest that some of the cars produced may enter the Russian car market.

The main export market is Russia, which can consume any volume of supplies. Any project that the Uzbeks are building is definitely not for the domestic market, because the Kyrgyz market is very small,” said automotive expert Igor Morzharetto.
True, if this happens, Chevrolet models will most likely be delivered to Russia under another car brand in order to avoid unpleasant confrontations with General Motors.
In the first phase, the intention is to produce 10,000 cars per year at a production site 50 kilometers from Bishkek. It will be an SKD assembly of Chevrolet passenger cars and Isuzu commercial vehicles. The cost of the first starts from 13 thousand dollars (about 1 million rubles), and the second – from 28 thousand dollars, or 2.15 million rubles at the current rate.
In the future, the localization should grow to 15-20%, and the production volume to 20,000 cars per year.
