The scandal has reached a new level
The head of AvtoVAZ, Maxim Sokolov, criticized the Kaliningrad plant «Avtotor», whose head accused AvtoVAZ of entering the niche of competition with Chinese cars, raising prices for Lada by 40% in two years.
«As a rule, we do not notice the beam in our own eye, — responded to Sokolov’s statement. — You have to be very correct when juggling numbers. 40% — This is a period of indexation, but from the period of the carrot plot. The bulk of this price increase was made by our previous shareholder who fled the country — by «Renault».
Maxim Sokolov stated that «Avtotor» produces Chinese cars, without localizing any of their elements: «A company that has not produced anything domestic and competitive since 1996».
«None of the elements of the cars that Avtotor collects are localized. I don't know how they see their mission. For whom do they work? What does a company that has not localized a single component add to the economy? stated Maxim Sokolov.
