The plant will produce Chinese cars under a Russian brand. A little more than 500 people will work in three shifts.

According to Maxim Kadakov, editor-in-chief of "За рулём", the cars will be assembled using the large-node method, receiving parts from China. It is not yet known which models will be put on the assembly line.

The plant was acquired by Art-Finance (associated with AGR LLC) in May 2023 for 125 million euros from the German concern Volkswagen.
