But by 2025, insiders believe, everything should work out for AvtoVAZ
Insiders of the Avtograd News public revealed the behind the scenes of the Lada Iskra project. It turned out that AvtoVAZ has to face great difficulties in selecting component suppliers.
«They find a supplier somewhere in Asia, sign an agreement, start working, and bam — and refuses the contract. And we have to look for a new supplier. Therefore, work on the Iskra project is progressing with unexpected slippage, where eë didn't wait», — insiders said.
As for the implementation of the production program, a test assembly is underway, but, as informants say, «they cannot be called full-fledged machines& raquo;. «There are currently up to 200 defects on one car. Moreover, most of the components are made using a bypass technology: this is a color mismatch, heterogeneity of structures, and, well, a discrepancy with the declared size. Even the exterior mirrors are not original yet, either from Largus or from Vesta. But this is training with subsequent adaptation to production; they are not intended for the sales network», — informants told.
Nevertheless, insiders have no doubt that AvtoVAZ will succeed. In addition, the start of production of the car is expected only at the beginning of 2025, despite the premiere at the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum in early June of this year.
