The Moskvich car plant is planned to revive in three distinct phases across six years, aiming to reestablish a modern, localized production line within Russia and beyond. The roadmap emphasizes phased growth, increased local sourcing, and the gradual introduction of new vehicle types on a flexible platform.
- Phase one covers a short rollout window from late 2022. During this period the plant began SKD assembly of Moskvich 3 models and related electric vehicles, while progressively expanding the share of locally sourced components and parts.
- Phase two starts in 2023 with a parallel CKD program. This stage runs alongside ongoing DKD operations and centers on bringing in more domestic suppliers to raise localization rates and broaden the part supply base for both traditional and electric models.
- Phase three remains to be scheduled and envisions Moskvich producing its own electric car using core Russian components on a universal platform designed for scalable adoption across model families.
Forecasts for 2023 anticipate a minimum annual output of fifty thousand vehicles built with DKD processes, including about ten thousand electric variants. In 2024 the plant is projected to reach at least one hundred thousand units, with roughly twenty thousand electric vehicles among them. The plan aims for equal distribution of production between DKD and CKD methodologies, highlighting a balanced approach to localization and capacity building.
In terms of use cases, the city council envisions convenient and safe electric vehicles serving not only private owners but also taxis and car sharing fleets as a growing portion of urban mobility. This reflects a broader strategy to align with modern transport needs and environmental goals while expanding the domestic automotive ecosystem.
