by Hardly having returned from the April corporate vacation, which lasted 20 days, and having worked only a week, the employees of the Russian auto giant went back on ‘vacation’ at least until May 16. In addition, according to unofficial information, the plant in Izhevsk, where the assembly of the updated Lada Vesta NG was supposed to begin, may go idle for the entire summer or even close completely.
In turn, employees of the largest plant ‘Avtotor’ (where BMW and Hyundai were produced) instead of assembling foreign cars will be planting potatoes.
But let’s return to AvtoVAZ – once the flagship car factory of the Russian Federation. As writes 5Koleso, AvtoVAZ may become the only Russian car factory where car production can continue. But which ones? It is already known that if production does take place, the lineup will be reduced to three main models (Granta, Niva, Vesta).
Recall that information previously emerged about the sale of the controlling stake in AvtoVAZ, which belonged to Renault, for 1 ruble.
