Mercedes-Benz plant near Moscow may go to Chinese car manufacturer

Moscow Region Governor Andrei Vorobyov revealed details of the negotiations on the sale of the Russian Mercedes-Benz assembly plant to a new owner. Portal “AvtoVzglyad” provides details.

– Selection is currently underway, including a Chinese car manufacturer, reliable and with stable demand for their cars. Now the time has come when there are many uncertainties with the Germans, who are closing the factory, and with the investors who are going to do it. They agree. I think there will be clarity this year, – said Vorobyov on the airwaves of the Sputnik radio station.

The governor did not specify what kind of Chinese car brand he was talking about. At the same time, he expressed the hope that the German premium car manufacturer will one day return to Russia. In addition, according to him, the industrial site on the territory of the Peshkovskoye Rural Settlement, Solnechnogorsk, Moscow Region, owned by Mercedes-Benz Manufacturing Rus LLC, will somehow work. Before the shutdown in the spring of this year, the Mercedes plant near Moscow was engaged in assembling the E-class sedan.

Let’s not forget that it was previously reported about ongoing negotiations between Mercedes-Benz Manufacturing Rus LLC and some Russian dealers of Mercedes-Benz cars on the purchase of all Russian assets of the German company.
