European sales of LADA fell by 12% in June

By the end of June, 308 new LADA cars were sold in the European Union countries, which is lower by 11.7% than in the previous year. Thus, the sales of cars of the Russian brand in the EU are falling for the sixth month in a row, experts of the analytical agency "AUTOSTAT" noted (based on the results of processing the data of ACEA).

Since the beginning of 2020, sales of LADA cars in the European Union reached 1,146 units, having decreased by 51.3%. Let us remind you that in the previous spring AVTOVAZ made a decision to stop deliveries of LADA cars to Europe. The company explained it by the tightening of environmental standards. The introduced in the previous autumn Euro 6d-TEMP standard requires the significant investment in engine upgrades.

Meanwhile, the press service of AVTOVAZ stated that the company has plans to create a global model in close cooperation with partners from the Alliance and return to the European market. Apparently, it is about a new generation LADA 4x4 off-road vehicle that after the purchase of GM's share in the joint venture by AVTOVAZ could get the name “Niva”.
