Renault Master assembly to be set up in Vladivostok

The cars will appear on the Russian market under the Forpost Recruit brand

The company «Vostochny Forpost» plans to establish the production of third-generation Renault Master cars in Vladivostok.

The final stage of certification is currently underway. The SBCT (confirming the compliance of the chassis design with the established safety requirements) and the vehicle type approval (confirming the compliance of the chassis design with the established safety requirements and environmental standards) will be received in the coming days. Components will be purchased in China.

The cars will be released on the market under the brand Forpost Recruit/Форпост Рекрут 23696-0000010. It is planned to produce two versions — up to 3.5 tons and more (N1 and N2).

Like Renault, the front-wheel drive car is being prepared in van and truck modifications (semi-frame chassis for superstructures). The first vehicle type approvals will allow the production of 100 cars in each category. This is a simplified certification option: apparently, Forpost wants to «feel» the market in this way.

The expected annual output is 20 units per month. They plan to reach these volumes by 2027.
