The fate of the most popular French car brand in Russia turns out to be downright bleak for the Russians: we will apparently have to forget Logan, Sandero
The fate of the most popular French car brand in Russia turns out to be downright bleak for the Russians: we will apparently have to forget Logan, Sandero and Duster for a long time to come. The “period of oblivion” has already been designated by the head of the Ministry of Industry and Trade: five or six years. But what will the brand’s factories in Russia be producing at that time? The AvtoVzglyad portal tells about one of the very interesting options.
The head of the Ministry of Industry and Trade, Denis Manturov, spoke about the future of Renault plants in Russia: AVTOVAZ’s share goes to the US, and the production of the brand in Moscow, also known as Avtoframos, goes to the city administration . The price of the deal is conditional, because the task is extremely trivial: the French want to work, but cannot because of the sanctions. Factories must be saved to be able to return when ‘the dust settles’.
Reread, chewed and realized three hundred times. However, few people paid attention to the minister’s other words. Denis Manturov answered a question about shutting down the Moscow plant, noting that the conveyor belt would continue to work, but that literally “other” cars would be produced. And the official replied very, very vaguely to a direct clarification about LADA. Like, maybe she is. Or maybe not.
And this aspect of his speech is already interesting. Let’s take a look at all the conditions: the French want to produce cars, but they can’t because of the sanctions, ours can, they want to, but there are many difficulties. Converting a Renault factory to another brand would require a monstrous investment. Like, however, and any other car factory. Time is not worth talking about. But it will not work to sell it to the conditional Chinese – there is an agreement with the French to go back to normal. And what to do, you ask?
Avtoframos produced Logans and Sanderos, and after Arkana, a crossover built on the B0 platform especially for Russia. In other words, there are all the conditions for setting up the production of a car on this platform, with little bloodshed and very fast. Read welcome, Nissan and LADA. But there is a much more non-trivial option.
In 2015, Renault acquired the Moskvich brand with all the guts for completely incomprehensible and illegible reasons. Almost at the same time, the French tried by leaps and bounds to “play love” with the growing Chinese market, but failed. There is a time for everything, even if the place is a priori bread.
As a result, the Franco-Chinese tandem – there are no alternatives in the Celestial Empire, only a joint venture – did not find success, the factory was closed. But the “sediment” in the light of partnership, technology and assembly capacity remained. Why not “feint your ears” and resuscitate the “Chinese project” in Russia, and even under the banner of the AZLK brand, known in our latitudes? And “podsanderinnye” and “assembled” cars of the brand “Moskvich” will go to the people. And the wolves will remain full, and the sheep – whole.
The option looks fantastic to say the least, but modern reality – Asimov and the Strugatskys today look like literal prophets, and quite detailed and accurate – give rise to the most incredible solutions. And these decisions are being carried out faster than the laughter of skeptics stops.
