AvtoVAZ, for reasons beyond its control, will reduce the volume of car production this year, said First Deputy Prime Minister Denis Manturov in an interview with RBC. The case, according to him, is not as the machines themselves, but in the fact that for economic reasons, Russians prefer to postpone the purchase until better times.
“If they were of poor quality and are inaccessible to acquisition, half a million units last year would not be produced and sold. Yes, this year there will be a decrease for objective reasons that independently from AvtoVAZ, and definitely not from their quality associated with a decrease in demand, ”Manturov said.
He explained the low demand for AvtoVAZ products by profitable deposits. Russians open deposits to conditional 20 percent to accumulate money. At the same time, they put off the purchase of a new car for later.
Forecast: Car sales in Russia will recover no earlier than 2026 LADA crossover on the Vesta chassis has arrived in St. Petersburg before the premiere of May became the most successful month for the Lada Auura business estate.
AvtoVAZ should support the law on taxi localization, Manturov recalled. Last year, the requests of taxi are about 100 thousand new cars – this is 13 percent of the total production. In addition to AvtoVAZ, this will spur the demand for the products of the Moskvich and other companies that have entered into special west contracts in Russia.
Earlier it was reported that AvtoVAZ can reduce the production plan by 2025 by 20 percent – from 500 thousand to 400 thousand cars. The reasons are the fall of sales and overstocking of warehouses, in which, according to insiders, about 100 thousand unsaturated LADAs accumulated.
