The start of the renovation of the workshops of the former General Motors factory has been postponed indefinitely. The construction of new production facilities has not yet started either. But in 2023, they wanted to launch the production of three crossovers of Korean brands. Apparently, the situation in the country and the world forced Hyundai to pause.
The fact that the rebuilding of the GM factory, now owned by Hyundai, has been postponed indefinitely, Delovoy Peterburg newspaper writes, citing its own sources.
Initially, they wanted to produce three crossovers there, which were previously assembled at Avtotor Kaliningrad: Hyundai Palisade, Tucson and KIA Sportage. Work was supposed to start this spring, but never started.
Recall that the Shushary plant was opened in November 2008 and operated until 2015, after which the Americans mothballed this assembly place. Hyundai Motor Manufacturing Russian bought it at the end of 2020 and the decision to reconstruct it was made in the fall of 2021.
