Gorky Plant will reduce the working week against the background of the market fall

A four-day will be introduced in August 2025, writes Interfax with reference to the press service of the enterprise. Whether this schedule will be extended to September is still unknown. The reason for the reduction in the working week is in poor demand for commercial transport, which forces the leadership “to optimize costs in various directions.” All social benefits for employees are preserved in full, certifies gas.

In the first half of 2025, the demand for medium -tank trucks fell by almost 40 percent, the company notes. Sales of light commercial vehicles were sank by 30 percent, buses – 60 buses. They blame the high rate of the Central Bank and “the inaccessibility of financial instruments for the purchase of cars.”

A four -day will allow the plant to save jobs, as well as evenly load production in conditions of reduced demand.

The production of cars in Russia fell by 28 percent imports of new cars to Russia collapsed by 63 percent of sales of new cars in Russia collapsed by 28 percent

From August 21 to 3, gas workers are on annual corporate leave. They have already been notified of a new schedule, as well as that the four -day mode of operation could extend. This will depend on the situation in the market.

Gas is not the only Russian factory forced to review production plans. Previously, Sollers announced a reduction in car production volumes, and KamAZ and AvtoVAZ are also considering the possibility of reducing the working week for one day.
