The Japanese stopped production at their plant in Shushary in March 2022 and have been looking for a long time “options for the supply of components and the construction of new logistics schemes”. Not found. Therefore, in the fall of the same 2022, they decided to mothball the plant and put it up for sale. A few months earlier, the samurai had been offered to transfer the factory to NAMI for a nominal fee with a buy-back option, but they chose a different route. Six months later, everything has changed.

Objectively, for a long time there was no investor in Russia ready to “take over” the site and put at least some kind of production on it: KamAZ refused, and AVTOVAZ did the same. Ulyanovsk – to deal with their territories. NAMI, on the other hand, acted as a non-sanctioned link, with which Toyota would not have the issue of “secondary restrictions”. The role of the science center is “overexposure”, like a cat when you have to go on a business trip. Initially, NAMI was not supposed to be involved in the production of its car. As a result, Almaz-Antey will take over the automotive industry. To be precise: Almaz-Antey Aerospace Defense Concern JSC.

The sale of the enterprise by the Ministry of Industry and Trade is not so much an eventful story (“Almaz-Antey” from the very beginning participated in the process of “nationalization” of the enterprise in the person of the “Obukhov Plant”) , but, oddly enough, mentally. The Japanese factory is handed over to a Russian military company under sanctions. It is simply impossible to imagine that the Japanese will transfer money to the account of the military-industrial complex to buy it back. Will not. Not in this life. So the probability of recovery of production of RAV4 and the divine Camry in Russia has fallen to a negative value. This is what the Ministry of Industry and Commerce said today.
