Last week we put together statistics from Russian auto plants: who planned how much for last year, and what actually happened. By the way, it turned out not bad at all, considering the situation. But the main source of news was KamAZ, or rather its head Sergey Kogogin, who gave a very frank interview to Vedomosti, telling about both the truck giant itself and the Moscow auto plant Moskvich under its care. Localization of the newest KamAZ K5 required non-trivial efforts, but in the coming year production will expand threefold - by 15 thousand cars. But Moskvich, according to Kogogin, does not need to strive to produce 50 thousand cars: 30 thousand is enough for now to get closer to the break-even level. Meanwhile, AvtoVAZ has found a reliable supplier of airbags - and, apparently, in such quantities that airbags will return not only to Vestas and Grants, but even to Nivas. And to both, although the Legend has never had a driver's airbag, and the former French shareholders of the plant were not going to spend money on this. 00:00 What is this issue of "News of the Week" No. 257 about 01:10 Russian car factories shared their achievements 04:48 Lada Vesta brought back airbags 06:18 Lada Granta will improve the interior 06:58 Lada Niva will become safer 07:39 Lada Largus will wait until summer 08:14 KAMAZ predicted Moskvich's plans 09:48 Moskvich will refuse the "screwdriver" 11:29 Wey 05 gave up coffee 13:07 GAC M8 is targeting the wealthy 14:11 KAMAZ described the difficulties of localization 15:43 KAMAZ will replace people with robots 16:25 KAMAZ will expand the K5 family How many cars were produced by Russian car factories and how many cars were actually sold in Russia in 2023, that is, registered. AvtoVAZ is returning airbags to the Lada Vesta and Lada Granta models, and will also install airbags on both Lada Niva SUVs: Legend and Travel. The Moscow automobile plant Moskvich will not increase production in 2024, but will switch to a full-cycle assembly, using a welding and body painting line. The Chinese hybrid crossover Wei 05 and the GAK M8 minivan are entering the Russian market. KAMAZ described the real difficulties of localizing components in Russia that have become sanctioned, will increase the number of robots in production and is beginning to master the third version of the KAMAZ K5 family truck cabin.
