The sanctions forced some foreign automakers to finally bid farewell to Russia — not only to halt car deliveries, but also to shut down local assembly plants. However, it is unlikely that the released capacity will stand still for long. And about what kind of cars can be produced in abandoned factories, the experts of the AvtoVzglyad portal told.
