Truck production has resumed at the former Volvo plant in Kaluga, according to TASS, under the company name JSC AMO. The facility is positioned to operate at full capacity, covering the entire production cycle. Officials say 2023 marked a pivotal turn in reactivating automaker operations in the region, aligning with forecasts for scalable output. In the current production plan, the Kaluga plant is slated to manufacture 2,000 Russian trucks under the Next brand in 2024, signaling a focused rebound in domestic truck manufacturing.
Earlier announcements noted that Volvo Group halted sales and production of Volvo trucks in Russia on February 28, 2022. Russia constituted about 3 percent of Volvo Group’s global sales. The Kaluga site has a capacity of 15,000 trucks per year. Vehicle production moved to Kaluga in 2009, following six years of assembly activity at the Zelenograd plant. By April of that year, the facility transitioned from partial assembly to a full-scale production process, marking an important shift in the domestic automotive manufacturing landscape.
Industry observers have also highlighted other market moves, including the Kaiyi X7 Kunlun crossover, which is expected to carry a price tag around 3 million rubles in the Russian market. These developments collectively illustrate the evolving dynamics of Russia’s vehicle production ecosystem, with emphasis on domestic brands and strategic production reallocations in response to changing market conditions.
