The Chinese company Chery wants to localize the car assembly in Russia as soon as possible. Vladimir Shmakov, general manager of Chery Automobiles JSC, recalled that the company had previously had projects in this direction, but they were “completed in advance”.

“Today, the issue of production localization is primarily the responsibility of the head office. He is conducting intensive negotiations with a number of Russian manufacturers about the possibility of localization,” TASS quotes Shmakov as saying.

Yet it is now clear that there is no question of creating its own factory, similar to that of Haval at Tula.
Also, the general manager of Chery’s Russian office said that the Moscow government has not submitted an application to Chery Automobiles JSC regarding the joint creation of the Moskvich car. Recall that in May, the head of the Ministry of Industry and Trade Denis Manturov reported on negotiations with two possible partners.
