Mazda Sollers plant in Vladivostok resumed the operation

The Mazda Sollers plant in Vladivostok, which on April 27th suspended the production of cars in connection with the modernization of the production line, resumed the operation of the automobile workshop on May 26th and the engine production workshop on May 28th.

The agency "AUTOSTAT" was informed about it by the press service of the enterprise. Meanwhile, from July 1st to August 31st, the staff of Mazda Sollers plant will work during a four-day working week, which will maximize the preservation of the existing staff potential in the enterprise amid a decrease in demand in the car market.

As AUTOSTAT previously reported, Russian Mazda dealers sold 739 cars in April – lower by 67% than a year before. According to the results of four months of 2020, brand sales in our country reached 8,324 cars, which is lower by 6% than the figure for the same period of the previous year.

As a result, Mazda's market share was 2.0% versus 1.8% a year before, according to AEB. Recall, the joint venture Mazda Sollers Manufacturing Rus was created by Mazda Motor Corporation and Sollers on the principles of a 50/50 partnership in 2012. To date, the company produces three models: Mazda CX-9 and Mazda CX-5 crossovers, as well as Mazda6 sedan.
