What fate awaits the Russian factory for the production of Ford Transit?

In early March, Sollers Ford stopped the conveyor belt from which the Ford Transit trucks departed. And although the model of Russian carriers was in high demand, political motives turned out to be stronger. And the factory has been shut down ever since.

There are no decisions on the possible resumption of work at the car plant by the management of the company Sollers Ford, Deputy Prime Minister of Tatarstan, Minister of Economy of the Republic of Midkhat Shagiakhmetov told TASS.

In addition, there are no complaints from employees – the company continues to pay employees the promised ⅔ of the average wage.

Unfortunately, it is still impossible to predict what fate awaits this automaker. If Ford Motor Company decides to resume operation of its Russian assets, Yelabuga promises to launch the stationary conveyor belt as soon as possible.

Meanwhile, for various reasons, foreign brands have left Russian carriers without small vans, the GAZ group is in a hurry to occupy the occupied niche. Her Sobol NN is not only an alternative for the Ford Transit vans, but also for the more compact Citroën Jumpy and Peugeot Expert.
