NIZHNY NOVGOROD, June 2 Sales of AvtoVAZ in Russia in May amounted to 23.9 thousand Lada cars, company president Maxim told reporters Sokolov on the sidelines of CIPR-2023.
This is four times higher than in May last year, but 15% lower than in April this year, according to open official data.
“23,904 cars were sold for the whole of May,” Sokolov said, adding that the result was even slightly higher than planned.
The top manager also spoke about the production results of the month: for example, in May, the automaker produced 21.5 thousand cars, taking into account the collective vacation between the May holidays and at the end of May.
AvtoVAZ owns production sites in Tolyatti, Izhevsk and St. Petersburg. In mid-May last year, the French Renault transferred its stake in AvtoVAZ (67.69%) to the state property of the Russian Federation. Now the brand consists of four families of models: Vesta, Largus, Granta and Niva. Sales of brand cars in 2022 amounted to 188.6 thousand vehicles (-46% compared to 2021).
