Russian Minister Manturov Announces Plans to Restore Volga Production and International Cooperation

Recently, Manturov spoke about the plans to restore Volga production: “Yes, all agreements are at the final stage. Relentless work has been going on since the announcement of this decision, that is, since May 2023. Therefore, we assume that they should start in the middle of the year release of this car.”

Manturov was also asked whether there will be cooperation with other countries, to which the minister answered in the affirmative.

According to Manturov, according to Manturov, the new “Volga” will have a “completely new look” in terms of design, and the “world-famous” logo with a deer will be preserved. The radiator grille will be reminiscent of previous passenger cars – just as the Aurus has “visual roots from the ZIS”.

Manturov said that the assembly of cars at the former “Hyundai” and “Volkswagen” factories, which have left the Russian market, should start by the middle and the first half of 2024, respectively.

In 2022, after Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, most foreign brands stopped supplying the Russian market and stopped manufacturing machines there. Against this background, the Moscow factory of the French car manufacturer “Renault” was transferred to the Moscow government, in November 2022, the “Moskvich” factory opened its doors there.
