Tenet car production resumes after factory fire

“The situation at the plant in Kaluga has been stabilized, the production shops and the car production line have not been affected, and the production process has not been disrupted. The enterprise has returned to work as usual,” reports the press service of the AGR company, which owns the enterprise.

Initially, at the AGR plant (formerly Volkswagen) in Kaluga, plastic caught fire in the body shop. The flames then spread to the polystyrene foam used to insulate the walls of the building.

Footage from the scene showed thick smoke escaping from under the roof and from ventilation pipes throughout the entire area of ​​the industrial building.

The Ministry of Emergency Situations cited a short circuit as a possible cause of the fire. The prosecutor’s office began an investigation into the fire.

Cars of the new scandalous Zubr brand were spotted in Minsk. A parking lot of forgotten Soviet cars was found in a St. Petersburg yard. Among expensive cars, the Chinese still choose “Europeans”

Earlier, information appeared: if the former Volkswagen plant goes down as a result of a fire, Chery will not be able to fill the volume of Tenet brand cars assembled there with its products.
