AVTOVAZ announced the transfer of LADA Vesta production to Togliatti

The Board of Directors of AVTOVAZ approved the decision to transfer the production of LADA Vesta family vehicles to the main site in Tolyatti - to the B0 line with a capacity of up to 60 vehicles per hour. The restart of production of LADA Vesta is scheduled for early spring 2023, the press service of the automaker reports. As noted, based on the tasks set for the company by shareholders, as well as the forecast for the development of the structure of the Russian automotive market in 2023, the productivity of LADA Izhevsk plant (up to 32 vehicles per hour) will not be sufficient to meet demand. At the same time, LADA Izhevsk plant will continue to develop: the production of a fundamentally new electric version of the LADA e-Largus will be organized there.

The enterprise will also continue to develop the production of components for LADA Vesta (stamping production, plastic production, etc.), service and support functions will remain. Recall that LADA Izhevsk plant has been a part of the AVTOVAZ Group since 2011, when the largest modernization of the production complex began at it. The capacities of the Izhevsk enterprise are designed to produce 220,000 cars per a year. Since September 2015, LADA Izhevsk plant has been producing LADA Vesta sedan, LADA Vesta SW station wagon and their cross-versions LADA Vesta Cross and LADA Vesta SW Cross.
