In the early summer of 2024, the Gorky Automobile Plant may present the first new model under the revived Volga brand, informs Interfax, referring to Denis Manturov, head of the Ministry of Industry and Trade.
“In terms of time, this means that in about a year considering the completion of the foreign partner selection procedure, and about 9 months after the start of this work, direct production needs to be organized. For this reason, our colleagues are directing us towards the beginning of the next summer.”
According to him, it will be possible to see mass production under the Volga brand by this time. It is planned to use facilities created by foreign automakers that left the Russian Federation for automobile production.
Until March 2022, the Skoda Octavia, Karoq and Kodiaq and Volkswagen Taos were assembled at GAZ as part of a contract assembly.
