AVTOVAZ will continue to produce cars on a platform jointly with Renault

AVTOVAZ will continue to produce cars on the platform, which was developed by Renault jointly with the Russian manufacturer. This was announced by the head of the Ministry of Industry and Trade of the Russian Federation Denis Manturov, by adding that the main condition of the deal to transfer Renault assets to state ownership is that the French company will facilitate the supply of its components to Russia from friendly countries. As a reminder, earlier it became known that in accordance with the reached agreements, Togliatti plant will produce Renault Duster crossover under the LADA brand.

According to sources, the transfer of production of Renault Arkana and Kaptur models from the Moscow plant in Togliatti was recognized as economically inexpedient. According to Denis Manturov, the decision to transfer Renault's Russian assets to state ownership was a compromise decision, taking into account the fact that the French company has the opportunity to return to the capital of AVTOVAZ within six years to continue joint work.
