Moskvich plant will supply 3,000 cars for taxi and car sharing

Moskvich Automobile Plant will soon supply 3,000 Moskvich 3 crossovers for taxi and car sharing across the country. Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin announced it on his telegram channel, adding that Moskvich plant and the Yandex group of companies signed an agreement with a delivery schedule for 2023. Recall that at the end of November 2022, Moskvich plant launched mass production of Moskvich 3 compact crossover and its electric version Moskvich 3e. At present, its own dealer network Moskvich has been formed, which includes 52 centers in 23 cities of Russia.

It is planned that in 2023 at least 50,000 cars will be produced at the plant using SKD technology, including 10,000 with an electric engine, in 2024 - at least 100,000 cars, including 20,000 with an electric engine. At the same time, 50% of this volume will be produced using SKD technology, other 50% - using CKD technology. According to Denis Tsepelev, Development Director of Alarm-Motors Group of Companies, Moskvich's production plan of 50,000 and 100,000 vehicles for 2023 and 2024, respectively, looks quite realistic, given the need to replace car-sharing fleets in metropolitan areas, as well as the potentially high interest from retail buyers.
