The Samara Region government's vehicle fleet will now use cars manufactured by AvtoVAZ, according to the official Telegram channel of the Samara Region. The purchase of the first 22 Lada Vesta cars has begun. At the same time, used foreign cars, with an average service life of 15–18 years, will be put up for sale.
Ministers will be the first to switch to domestic cars. In the future, after the launch of mass production of Lada Aura business sedans, new models will be purchased. It is also planned to purchase a batch of Lada Vesta cars.
The transition to the domestic auto industry will affect not only state, but also municipal employees. Currently, the Governor of the Samara Region, Vyacheslav Fedorishchev, continues to drive a pre-production Lada Aura car.
Earlier, the Administrative Directorate of the President of Russia began purchasing the first Lada Aura cars as part of the import substitution program and the transition to domestic cars. The cars will be used to provide transport services to federal government bodies.
