Another suspension of production at AVTOVAZ. The Granta and the Niva this time

AVTOVAZ has to suspend vehicle production again. According to the information given to AUTOSTAT agency at the enterprise’s press service, the LADA Granta and the Niva families were not produced on 16 July. This was caused by short delivery of electronic components from Bosch Samara again. We should remind that on 14 July, this resulted in  the suspension of the production of vehicles on the B0 platform (the LADA Largus, the LADA XRAY, the Renault Logan, the Renault Sandero).

Then it also took one day, and on 15 July, the assembly resumed. Earlier, the company forecasted an extension of the global shortage in the electronic components market until 2022, and anticipated possible suspensions. According to AUTOSTAT experts, 200,219 LADA vehicles were sold in Russia in the first half of 2021, a little more than a half (50.6%) of them were the Granta and the Niva families.
