Toyota’s Russian industrial site, where the Camry and RAV4 models were assembled, will be shut down with no chance of resuming production and may be sold to new owners in the future. Until recently, it was believed that production activity on it was merely suspended. It is reported that the decision to abolish the Russian assembly plant is officially explained by the Japanese automaker’s inability to ensure the supply of components to Russia.

Due to the closure of the St. Petersburg plant, serious cutbacks are planned in Toyota’s Russian office. Unofficially, it talks about the company’s plans to pay laid-off employees nearly 12 months’ salary. At the same time, Toyota does not plan to leave Russia, Kommersant reports. Although the supply of new brand cars to our country has been suspended, the company’s dealer network in Russia is functioning, providing repair and maintenance services to Toyota cars.
