Kryshkin, project manager of the Russian “Moscovich” automobile factory: If we consider the current situation of Russian automakers,The restart of production means not only a historic moment, but also the return of car manufacturing in Russia。
Domestic consumers may not be familiar with Muscovites,This factory was founded in 1930 as an automobile factory in the former Soviet Unionoccupied the leading position in the Russian automobile industry in the 1970s and 1980s, and was once considered a banner of the Soviet automobile manufacturing industry.
However, due to poor management, at the beginning of the 21st century, it was acquired by Renault of France, and the factory production line stopped producing “Moskovitch” brand cars since then. In May this year, Renault Motors withdrew from the Russian market.The factory was transferred to the Moscow City Administration and was subsequently renamed the “Moskovitch” automobile factory。
