Chinese automobile brands are not keen on localizing the production of their automobiles and also have an aggressive pricing policy. In this respect reports AvtoVAZ press service refers to the head of the company Maxim Sokolov.
“In the first quarter, compared to 2023, automobile production in Togliatti increased by more than 70%, reaching almost 116 thousand cars. “Unfortunately, we continue to observe extremely aggressive price increases on imported cars from Chinese brands that do not show interest in localizing their production in Russia and do not see any incentive to localize their production, which will impose additional orders on the Russian parts industry,” he said.
