The plant actively cooperates with China
«Avtotor» is going to produce more car models and establish its own production of auto components, as announced by the acting governor of the Kaliningrad region Alexey Besprozvannykh.
«It is clear that it is impossible to reconfigure the plant in a year to ensure 100 percent utilization. Today, the group’s enterprises produce 16 new models of passenger cars, three models of commercial vehicles under its own brand „AmberTruck“, an electric vehicle with its own brand „AmberAuto“, models of commercial electric vehicles under the brand „Brock“ ;. There are plans to expand the range of manufactured models. An important task — create your own production of auto components. I'm sure — we'll handle it. We will focus on the East», — said Alexey Besprozvannykh.
The head of the region also noted that Avtotor, which today employs about three thousand people, survived the crisis and is emerging from it, completely switching to partners from China.
«And this process continues, they are willing to cooperate», — said Alexey Besprozvannykh.
Earlier, the head of AvtoVAZ, Maxim Sokolov, said that «Avtotor» produces Chinese cars, without localizing any of their elements: «A company that has not produced anything domestic and competitive since 1996».
