The Moskvich car plant has outlined its production ambitions for the coming year, with officials indicating a target around fifty thousand vehicles manufactured in-house. The plan suggests steady, domestically oriented output at the plant, underscoring a commitment to growing the corridor of self-branded cars produced within the facility. Discussions suggest this level of output is aligned with long-term capacity and market demand within Russia and neighboring markets.
Earlier updates indicated a temporary goal of forty-four thousand units for the year, a figure that was later adjusted upward to reflect stronger demand and expanded production capacity. The updated target would represent a notable increase from the initial projection, signaling a robust ramp in output and a greater footprint in the local automotive ecosystem.
Alongside production goals, Moskvich has signaled plans to broaden its dealer network. The company currently operates eighty-two sales centers spread across fifty-one Russian cities, with expansion designed to improve accessibility for customers nationwide and to support after-sales service in more communities.
Geographically, the Moskvich plant sits on the site of the former Renault Russia facility. Renault transferred control of the plant to the Moscow government after ceasing operations in Russia, with a portion of the stake now also associated with KamAZ through a continued partnership. The current Moskvich lineup includes the Moskvich 3 urban crossover, the electric Moskvich 3e, and the Moskvich 6 sedan, reflecting a mix of traditional and electrified offerings.
Since the facility began producing vehicles in late 2022, the Moskvich plant has surpassed thirty thousand units, marking a significant milestone in local automotive manufacturing and the company’s ongoing investment in domestic production capacity.
