According to the "Untypical AvtoVAZ" public page, the Volga Automobile Plant is considering not stopping the conveyor line on which the highly anticipated car is produced, even on Saturdays.
"Saturday, May 13, may become a working day for all conveyors of the AvtoVAZ auto assembly complex. While the issue has already been resolved for the Lada Niva and Lada Granta lines, it is still being worked out for the Lada Vesta NG.
Thus, it has been proposed to launch the assembly of the flagship model range on the upcoming weekend in a day shift lasting 8 hours. As we have already reported, the plant has implemented its March plans and returned to a two-shift schedule for the Lada Vesta NG conveyor. How ready it is for additional work on Saturdays will be revealed in the coming days.
Plans for Lada Niva and Lada Granta for the next working weekend remain the same. SUVs will be produced on May 13 in one 8-hour shift, and the Lada Granta line will be used for 12 hours. Employees will be paid double for this day, as stipulated in the AvtoVAZ collective agreement," writes "Untypical AvtoVAZ."
As a reminder, AvtoVAZ launched full-scale serial production of the Lada Vesta NG today: the company is preparing for the imminent start of sales.
