This time the head of the Ministry of Industry and Trade, Denis Manturov, had to participate in this kind of receptions. During that period, with a sense of deep satisfaction at the success, he reported to Vladimir Putin that everything: the Russian automotive industry had fully recovered. Presumably – after the fall of 2022.
— Regarding the automotive industry and woodworking, when you paid attention to this at the beginning of this year, these industries were not yet in the positive zone. Now that they have recovered, there is a good increase in indicators,” Manturov told the president.
The commander-in-chief was apparently satisfied. AVTOVAZ will really produce almost as many cars this year as in 2021. The Tula Haval factory also produces products. Let’s not talk about the UAZ in vain: it lived by supplying army equipment and still does. He doesn’t really need to recover.
It would be much more interesting to get acquainted with how Mr. Manturov managed to restore the factories of Hyundai, Toyota and Nissan in St. Petersburg. They recovered, right? And what beautiful (according to Manturov) cars are now being produced again by the Kaluga companies of Volkswagen and the former PSA (Stellantis)! Avtotor is also clearly thriving, fitting wheels to bodies coming from China.
And ask most domestic manufacturers of heavy equipment: where, for example, do bridges, gearboxes, electronic units and other important components of your original Russian trucks come from? We know it from China. The Russian car industry is in full swing!
