AVTOVAZ is starting to develop a new vehicle platform, said company head Maxim Sokolov. At the same time, according to the newly appointed manager, it will take 3-4 years to create a new architecture.
“The development of platforms is not a fast business, I would like to do it tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, but it will take years,” noted the president of AVTOVAZ.
The upcoming novelty will be based on LADA Vesta. However, the leadership of the auto giant plans not only to improve the existing model, but also to prepare new engines and release its own “automatic”. This year, AvtoVAZ plans to allocate one billion rubles for research and development work. Part of the money will be used to form the concept of the future platform. The president of the company expects a highly localized car at the exit, for the production of which it will be necessary to create a whole cluster of auto parts manufacturers.
Incidentally, from the moment the Renault group withdrew from the ownership of AVTOVAZ, it remained unclear whether the car giant could use platforms from the French company’s range. Portal “AutoVzglyad” found the answer to this question.
