For a month now, a fast restart of the enterprise in Shushara under St. Petersburg with the help of Cheri has been discussed. The next confirmation came from the sources of Fontanka: according to them, the AGR company now has already agreed with Chinese partners on large -sized assembly of Jaeco brand models, which is part of the Cher’s portfolio. They will sell them under the Solaris brand.
Sources say that Chery has already begun to import equipment in the workshop. The first Jaecoo-Solaris models released in Shushara will be crossovers J7 and J8. They will be collected by a large -sized (also “slop”) method from machine tools imported from China.
Dozens of Jacoo all -resistance have recently been seen in the parking lot of the enterprise. According to insiders, about 500 crossovers were gathered at the main factory “AGR” in Kamenka. Whether these cars will go on sale is not yet clear.
In Russia, they want to restart the plant, which used to produce General Motors cars in Russia, a new Jelend car brand with the production of Solaris in St. Petersburg is held for a third consecutive week in a row is kept in the ten leaders of the Russian market
Later, a certain business class sedan, a classmate Hongqi H5, who will be larger than Toyota Camry, can put a certain to the Toyota Camry. There is no such model in the Jaecoo assortment, so it is possible that the prototype will serve as a car of another brand “under the umbrella” of Cher. At the same time, the sedan is subject to deeper localization than crossovers.
The factory in Shushara is idle for almost 10 years. It once belonged to General Motors and collected Chevrolet Cruze, Captiva and Trailblazer, as well as Opel Astra and Antara. In 2015, the conveyor got up, and after five years the company bought Hyundai with a plan to produce Tucson, Palisade and Kia Sportage there. The Koreans did not have time to reanimate the site. At the beginning of 2024, the plant departed the Art Finance company (part of the AGR group).
