AVTOVAZ extended the idle time until May 20th

AVTOVAZ due to the lack of components will introduce downtime from May 16th to May 20th, inclusively. The corresponding order was signed by the management of the enterprise, follows from the message of the factory trade union. Recall that AVTOVAZ suspended the production of cars from April 30th to May 11th due to the planned corporate vacation (from May 4th to 6th) and holidays, but then extended the downtime due to the ongoing shortage of auto components. As AUTOSTAT previously reported, in April AVTOVAZ sold 8506 LADA cars in the Russian market, which is 78% lower than a year before. According to the results of four months of 2022, Russian LADA dealers sold 61,218 cars, which is 50% lower than in the same period of the previous year. As a result, the market share of LADA since the beginning of the year was 20.8% against 23.6% a year before, according to the AEB.
