“This name [«Lada St. Petersburg»] must be properly approved, not only on the board and, let's say, the board of directors of AVTOVAZ, but also with the government of St. Petersburg in accordance with regional legislation. We have made such a proposal. I hope that it will be positively considered in the near future, — cites the words of a top manager news agency.
The Nissan Manufacturing Rus (NMR) car plant is located in Shushary (St. Petersburg).
At the end of November 2022, Nissan ceded this site and other assets to the FSUE NAMI Institute, which in early February handed them over to AVTOVAZ (it is owned by US). The company is planning to restart in the second half of the year — it will produce borrowed sedans and crossovers.
