The future of AVTOVAZ: “Soviet” platforms and spare parts from … spare parts

Future LADA models will be based solely on Russian technologies and developments, including platforms created by domestic specialists. In addition, new products are assembled from our own components and electronics. “And this is a fundamental decision,” Denis Manturov, head of the Russian Ministry of Industry and Trade, stated proudly. Those are just big words that probably won’t translate into action. And here’s why.

Apparently, the work of the new president of AvtoVAZ, Maxim Sokolov, is a lot of work. It is necessary to somehow satisfy, if not the consumer, then at least the Ministry of Industry and Commerce. Leave only promises to begin with. Recall that the former official promised the people new models! That’s exactly when and what, he still doesn’t seem to know himself.

However, this is not the most important. The main thing is not to lose what you have. And the latest events surrounding AvtoVAZ, and the Russian auto industry in general, never hint at the advanced future of the domestic auto industry. Rather the contrary. No, ideas of course, a lot. For their implementation – do not go to a fortune teller – the budget will swell a lot of money, which competent persons will be happy to master, but deeds, as usual, will not go beyond words. Common practice since Soviet times.

But wait! Do people need affordable cars? Isn’t it time we returned the old, if not always good, LADA Priora? And what: modern transport, which is immediately apparent from the huge number of cars of this model driving through the country. Yes, and it is easy to fix in any garage by Uncle Ashot using a little white one, a sledgehammer and a mighty Russian word.

And about spare parts spare parts and an engine that can be thrown together at night does not need to be mentioned at all. And the development is purely Russian! Overall a decent promise that has been kept by the authorities. Especially considering that everything new is a well-forgotten old.

After all, we’re already where we started: no anti-lock brakes, no airbags, no course stabilization. Yes, not angry! But it’s cheap. And you don’t have to be a car expert or analyst to understand: they will take such cars, and how!

The main thing is to master the process: take an extra budget from the budget for equipment re-equipment, moving the production line from one place to another, advertising campaign and business vacation in UAE. That’s all. The turn signals will skyrocket just as fast as the ecology starts dying from the Euro-0 exhaust. But who needs this ecology, except KamAZ’s utopian electrical project with its Kama or Oka? Which, even if it hits the market, will only “cut” for the sake of and for fun.

In general, welcome back to the USSR, dear comrades. Apparently, this is the “decision in principle” announced by the head of the Ministry of Industry and Trade. Well, you can’t help but believe the pioneers!
