Moscow Renault plant delays the deliveries of cars to dealers

Production at Moscow Renault plant is working intermittently with a shortage of electronic components, which ultimately affects the delivery schedule. The agency "AUTOSTAT" was informed about it in the press service of Renault Russia. According to the company's estimation, delays in delivering cars to the network can reach 1.5 - 2 months. “We monitor the situation on a daily basis together with the central office and make every effort to minimize the impact on production. However, we are unable to avoid fully the consequences of this crisis,” said Renault Russia.

Recall that the Renault Moscow plant currently produces Renault Duster, Renault Kaptur, Nissan Terrano crossovers, as well as Renault Arkana coupe-crossover. As "AUTOSTAT" reported earlier, in August Russian dealers of Renault sold 9,699 cars - 11% lower than the previous year. According to the results of eight months of 2021, Renault sales in the Russian market were 90,990 cars, which is 23% higher than in the same period of the last year. As a result, Renault ranked the fourth in sales among all automakers in Russia, and the brand's market share was 8.5% versus 8.4% a year earlier, according to the AEB.
