“Autotor” will stop the assembly of trucks: they will be replaced by CHEY motors

This was stated by the senior vice president of the holding Vladimir Krivchenko in an interview with the publication of Rugrad. The top manager of Autotor admitted that those Chinese brands that are not sold would have to get rid of. The prospects at the factory are seen in cooperation with CHERI: the manufacturer is preparing for the “large localization” of the engine, the gearbox and the opening of foundry.

At a meeting with the Governor of the Kaliningrad Region, Vladimir Krivchenko complained of the lack of demand for electric trucks. A joint project with the Chinese company Foton failed: they have not sold a single “battery” Brock so far! As a result, it was decided to stop the production of trucks altogether, and the plant is re -profile to completely different types of products.

Vladimir Krivchenko hinted at a deep localization of Chery production: workshops are being built on the Autotor, they purchase and mount equipment for colored foundry, and casting blocks of engines. The units are not called directly, but a month ago the press service of the enterprise shared a picture of the Jetour body welding line and announced the conveyor capacity of up to 80 thousand cars per year.

The Omoda C5 and Jetour T2 of the Kaliningrad assembly have already been certified, so the enterprise can localize engines and gearboxes for these models. At Avtotor, they hope that a joint venture with the Chinese will be able to avoid sanctions and pay regularly: now this is a big problem.
