AvtoVAZ and Renault's Moscow plant to temporarily suspend production

AvtoVAZ will start the upcoming working week with a downtime of all assembly lines at the main site in Togliatti. So far, we are talking about stopping production for one day on February 28, but the operation of the lines on March 3 and 4 is also in question.

In the light of recent events, the interruption of supply chains is starting to take its toll. Information about the work of the Lada Izhevsk plant, where the updated Lada Vesta is produced, is not yet available.

The press service of Renault confirmed that the Moscow plant "Renault Russia" will temporarily suspend production from February 28 to March 5 due to interruptions in the supply of components. This plant produces crossovers Renault Duster, Renault Arkana, Renault Kaptur and Nissan Terrano.

As we have already reported, the CEO of Renault Group, in a recent interview with the Financial Times, said that new sanctions against the Russian Federation due to the situation in Ukraine could hit the automotive industry and even lead to a halt in assembly plants.
