Aurus may come under the control of KamAZ

The first Russian manufacturer of serial luxury cars Aurus comes under the control of KamAZ. This is reported by the information portal Drom.ru with reference to its own sources familiar with the situation in the company Aurus. The publication claims that the Sollers group and the automotive institute of FSUE NAMI, subordinate to the Ministry of Industry and Trade of Russia, will leave the list of project partners.

“According to our sources, the reason for the changes in the structure of the Aurus project lies in the problems with the production of Aurus Senat sedans and limousines, which officially started at the Yelabuga plant on May 31, 2021. Since then, production has not been able to pick up the planned pace, and the quality of pre-production copies does not correspond to the class of Aurus cars. In addition, to date, Aurus has received only about 60 prepaid orders, while according to the plan, the plant in Yelabuga should issue more than 600 sedans per year, ”the reason for this decision is given in the portal publication.

According to the Kartoteka database, at the moment, the NAMI institute owns a 63.5% share in the authorized capital of Aurus LLC, another 36% is owned by the Tavazun Defense, Security and Development Fund from the United Arab Emirates. Sollers has a 0.5% share. asked questions about the confirmation of this information to the official representatives of Aurus and "KamAZ", at the time of publication of the material, a prompt response did not come.
