All models, displayed at Moscow
International Auto Show in 2016, except X-code, can be launched for
production within a reasonable time. Three models are planned for 2018,
all new and updated” – Maure said.
Maure has reminded that Vesta estate
and its crossover version Cross will be presented in summer, which will
be put on the market this autumn. The implementation of the projects for
the new generations of the Lada 4×4 and Granta is planned thereafter,
according to the chairman.
Maure has added that there are
ongoing negotiations with Renault, as to the production launch of the
classic automatic transmission. “No decision has been taken at the
moment, however, it would be nice to realise the production of neat
automatic transmissions in the coming years. Currently, we are in the
decision making process on the type of the transmission and the
potential production volumes” – he said. AVTOVAZ previously
manufactured Lada Granta automobiles equipped with an automatic Jatco
box, the production of which was discontinued later on.
As told by an Interfax source
earlier, AVTOVAZ plans to start the production of Lada Vesta station
wagon at its production site in Izhevsk in July 2017, to be followed by
the crossover version of the model: Lada Vesta SW Cross after two
months. “The launch of the production of Lada Vesta estate is planned
for July at Lada Izhevsk and Lada Vesta SW Cross for September, also in
Izhevsk” – said the source of the agency, highlighting the preliminary
plans to manufacture 3000 units of each model until the end of 2017.
AvtoVAZ is an automobile manufacturer from Russia. They are popularly known as VAZ: Volzhsky Avtomobilny Zavod in their home country but known as Lada worldwide.
Currently, the name of their company is AvtoVAZ. They are represented
by their trademark – a silver Volga boat embossed in a red background
inside a pentagonal emblem.
The majority of the company is owned by Alliance Rostec Auto BV – which is owned by the Renault-Nissan Alliance and Rostec, a Russian company. AvtoVAZ targets to manufacture almost a million cars per year of their whole lineup.
Their lineup, moreover, includes the Kalina family with hatchback, crossover, and wagon models, the Lada Granta family with liftback and sedan models, the Lada Priora family with wagon, coupe, hatchback, and sedan models, the Lada 4×4 which is formerly known as Niva, and the Lada Largus.
They also produce units of models design by the Renault-Nissan alliance including the Datsun mi-Do, Nissan Almera New, Renault Logan II, and the Renault Sandero II.
Due to their huge quota each year, VAZ owns the biggest factory in
Russia and Eastern Europe and even one of the largest in the world. They
have over 140 kilometers of production lines which are all customized
and built to creating their models.
AvtoVAZ was founded in the 1960s with constant partnership with Fiat, another automobile giant.
Viktor Polyakov and Vladimir Solovyov were the founders of the company.
Their initial intention is to build cars that are both economical and
efficient as well.
Production started in 1971 with a target quota of 220,000 units.
Their first model, the VAZ-2101s was first designed and built in 1970.
AvtoVAZ cars were a hit to the Russian crowd since they designed their
models to stand the hostile Siberian weather. In two years’ time,
AvtoVAZ’ quota tripled to 660,000 per year.
