Changan cars will be produced in Russia

Contracting production of Chinese brand machines will be commissioned at the capacities of the Avtotor Kaliningrad plant, Vedomosti reports with reference to two sources.

The capacities that Avtotor prepared for the production of BMW are going to use. This is a whole case with a production capacity of 50 thousand cars per year. It has been idle since 2022, when BMW stopped delivering cars to Russia and local assembly.
