New Haval models will be “registered” at the plant in Kaluga

In 2025, the former PSMA Rus enterprise (now Automotive Technologies), previously owned by Stellantis and Mitsubishi, is going to produce about 50 thousand cars from Chinese Great Wall kits. As the portal Auto.Mail.ru writes with reference to insiders, we are talking about several models of the Haval brand. Moreover, not all of them are represented on the Russian market.

Great Wall (the parent company of Haval) has already prepared production facilities in Kaluga and reserved warehouses for storing 50 thousand vehicle kits, sources say.

Now the former PSMA Rus produces only one Haval model – the M6 ​​compact crossover. In November it was reported that he moved from the main plant of the Chinese brand in Tula due to its workload: they decided to leave the Tula facilities for the production of the most popular Haval. They can produce 80 thousand cars a year.

The enterprise in Kaluga, according to the regional governor Vladislav Shapsha, is more powerful: it can produce up to 100 thousand cars annually.

The plant, which assembled Mitsubishi, Peugeot, Citroen and Opel models, shut down in 2022. Now, in addition to Haval, they produce the Citroen C5 Aircross: conventionally large-unit (using the SKD-4 method) assembly of crossovers became possible thanks to the Chinese partner Citroen, which supplies vehicle kits to Russia.
