Belarus will present a purely domestic Chinese car

President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko again announced the start of production of a national car under his own brand, but with a level of localization close to 100%. The general partner is probably the same Geely – a shareholder of the BelGee company.

Alexander Lukashenko spoke about the imminent launch of a new Belarusian passenger car while talking to local employees at Minsk National Airport, Belta reports. “We have reached an agreement with the Chinese on the license production of our cars. I think there are two brands. Therefore, we will have our own Belarusian car. If we are already addicted to this, we will achieve the production of our own absolutely, almost 100% Belarusian car. A high-quality car,’ said Mr. Lukashenko verbatim.

In response to a question about the production of Chinese Geely cars in Belarus, the head of state promised that all previously announced plans would be realized. We are talking about producing 60,000 cars a year. In addition, said Mr. Lukashenko is happy that there was a stable demand for Geely, because in the first months there were “doubts”, according to him.

With what capabilities the Belarusian model will be assembled, it is not specified, although, most likely, everything will be located in the same BelGee plant, a significant share of which, under the joint venture, belongs to Belarus. It remains to recall that similar promises have already come more than once from representatives of the union state, but except for Geely Coolray, who changed his name to BelGee X50, nothing authentic Belarusian has yet appeared in car dealerships.
