Denis Manturov announced the plans of the Chinese brand Haval to expand the model range in Russia:
“Colleagues have plans to further expand both the model range and their production capabilities. Therefore, overall we see good prospects for cooperation in these areas,” he said in an interview with RIA Novosti on EEF-22.
Haval plans to localize production in Russia by more than 80% in six years.
Manturov noted that Russia is now actively cooperating with partners from China, who are actively entering our market. At the same time, the Russian authorities made serious demands on their subsequent localization.
Manturov noted that the Chinese partners are very disciplined, he knows this from the experience of the implementation of the special investment contract by Khaveil in Tula, he himself was in the factory and was convinced of this. And the automaker is even ahead of schedule in terms of localization.
At the same time, our own production will also develop, notes the minister. International brands entered our market and created their own production facilities, and in the country a powerful automotive industry was formed, specialists appeared, a scientific and technical school (fundamental, applied) was developed, which is already bearing fruit today.
He mentioned Aurus as an example – this is an indicator of our current technological level, and yet in 2008 this project would have been impossible to implement, because in Russia there were no certain competencies that we have today.
