NPP Itelma produces ABS and ESC systems for AvtoVAZ
At the on-site parliamentary hearings of the Federation Council on the automobile industry, the head of KamAZ, Sergei Kogogin, said that the cost of Russian electronics over the past three years has soared disproportionately to the increase in the cost of the cars themselves: while cars have risen in price by 40%, then electronics units have become four times more expensive.
«An example of auto electronics — this is a very good example in terms of planned actions. But for us, automakers, today — this is a very painful point. These two comrades on the left are sitting [general director of LLC "NPP Itelma" Alexey Vorobyov and executive director of the association "Consortium of enterprises in the field of automotive electronic devices and telematics" Dmitry Kornachev] — they tell the whole world about how expensive our auto components have become. And if you compare the prices at which they supplied us with products in 2021 and today, the difference is 4 times. Here we are with Maxim Yuryevich [Sokolov, head of AvtoVAZ] since now we exchanged [opinions]. The price of a car has risen by 40%. This is a company ["NPP Itelma"], which today receives excess profits and parasitizes on the problems», — said Sergey Kogogin.
«NPP Itelma» produces engine control systems, body electronics, multimedia systems, emergency response systems in case of accidents, and driver assistance systems. At its plant in Kostroma «Itelma» produces ABS and ESC systems for AvtoVAZ.
