This will become possible with the start of serial production of e-Largus
The Russian automobile plant AvtoVAZ is going to produce 50 thousand cars a year at its facilities in Izhevsk, said the head of Udmurtia Alexander Brechalov during a report on the situation in the region. According to him, this year mass production of Lada Largus electric vehicles will be launched and the car plant will reach production volumes of up to 50 thousand cars per year.
In addition, the number of employees at the production site should double in 2024 – up to 3 thousand people. This is exactly how many people worked at the Izhevsk plant in 2017, but after the Lada Vesta production was moved to Tolyatti, the number of employees was reduced to 800 people. Then, after the launch of Lada Largus production, the number of employees reached 1.5 thousand, and in May of this year the number of personnel should again increase to 3 thousand people, Brechalov noted.
Recall that on December 15, 2023, production of a pilot batch of e-Largus electric vehicles was launched at the AvtoVAZ site in Izhevsk: 30 cars were produced. Serial production of these cars, as well as the Lada Largus with an internal combustion engine, should start in May 2024.
