Avtotor continues the production of Kia and Hyundai cars

Kaliningrad Avtotor plant continues to produce Kia and Hyundai cars, Governor of the Kaliningrad Region Anton Alikhanov said in his Telegram channel. According to him, the available stocks of parts will be enough for about 3 months of work, while South Korean partners continue to ship components. Recall that in February 2022, Kaliningrad plant began the production of the fifth generation Kia Sportage crossover, which is expected to be on sale in the first half of 2022.

Avtotor also continues to build plants for the production of localized products, investments in which, according to the special investment contract, were 32 billion rubles. Last year, the company invested 6 billion rubles in the project, the Finmarket agency writes. Meanwhile, in early March, due to the current geopolitical situation, BMW suspended the production at the Avtotor facilities, as well as the import of cars to the Russian market. Further decisions will be made based on the evolution of the situation.
