Import Substitution: Fedor Konyukhov Changed Toyota Hilux With LADA Niva SUV

AVTOVAZ supports a new ambitious project of the famous Russian traveler Fyodor Konyukhov – “Transcontinental flight on a motorized paraglider from the White Sea to the Black Sea”. As the AvtoVzglyad portal found out, NIVA Travel and NIVA Legend SUVs will become ground support vehicles for flight.

The expedition started from Arkhangelsk, and the route of the multi-stage flight was laid through several cities, including Yaroslavl, Kostroma, Vladimir, Ryazan, Moscow, Tula, Voronezh, Boguchar, Rostov-on-Don and Krasnodar. The finish is scheduled in Novorossiysk on June 22.

Travelers have set a goal to break the current non-stop flight distance record of 427 km with a new distance of 500 km. The pilots will attempt to set a distance record on one of the route segments.

NIVA Legend and NIVA Travel, pasted with the symbols of the project, will follow Fedor Konyukhov as part of the ground support group. Although earlier, the Russian traveler preferred Toyota vehicles. Especially the Hilux pickup.

Besides, the Silk Way rally raid also went through import substitution. Previously, the aforementioned Toyota supplied cars to the race organizers, but now AVTOVAZ decided to provide organizational support.
