The Russian brand Moskvich has been included in the list of the Ministry of Industry and Trade of Russia for purchases by officials, which has had a positive impact on the development of the plant, said Oleg Maslyakov, Production Director of Moskvich JSC, summing up the year of the company's operation since the release of the first car of the same name.

We work very closely with government agencies
Oleg Maslyakov

According to him, all orders are published on government procurement portals, and official Moskvich dealers participate in them.

About pricing

Maslyakov believes that the brand's cars may become cheaper with active localization of production. The company has already started welding and painting the body, and small-node assembly is planned. However, pricing will be affected by the volume of car production and a reduction in logistics costs, he stressed.

About increasing sales

The management of Moskvich plans to increase production and develop a dealer network in Russia. The company hopes that this approach will contribute to sales growth. Maslyakov stressed that the plant's plan for 2024 is to produce about 50,000 cars. By the end of 2023, the company intends to reach a production volume of 27,000 units, including 4,200 electric vehicles.

About new products and entering new markets

Maslyakov promised that by the end of 2024, Russian drivers will be able to buy a new D-class crossover, the Moskvich 8. The car is expected to be based on the Chinese JAC X7 mid-size SUV. Model dimensions: length 4776 mm, wheelbase - 2750 mm. In addition, mass production of the Moskvich 5 crossover will begin in the first half of next year.

The plant plans to increase its presence in the Russian market, and in the future to establish deliveries of cars to foreign markets, Maslyakov concluded.

Earlier it was reported that Moskvich has new suppliers of paints and varnishes. The plant will offer cars in five color options.
