Skoda left Kazakhstan in 2021
Assembling Skoda cars at the Saryarkaavtoprom plant Allur company in Kostanay will begin soon, preparations for production are currently being completed, as reported by «Avtopotok».
A week ago it became known that Skoda and the Allur plant signed an agreement to begin production of Skoda cars in Kazakhstan, where they will assemble four very popular and well-known models in Russia: Octavia, Kodiaq, Karoq and Kamiq. < /p>
Skoda left the Kazakhstan market in 2021, and three years later decided to start assembling its cars in the country. As Autopotok writes, today there are plans to supply cars assembled in Kazakhstan to the domestic market of the republic. There is no talk about export yet.
In addition, after April 1, taking into account the new duties and excise taxes that are added to the recycling fee, the supply of cars from Kazakhstan to Russia is no longer as profitable as before.
Plant «Saryarkaavtoprom» currently also produces Chevrolet, Kia, Jetour, Lada and JAC passenger cars, as well as commercial vehicles, including large buses.
Skoda has officially confirmed that it hopes to occupy up to 5% of the local market in the near future.
