Car factory in Kaluga to be modernized: Haval M6 and Citroen C5 Aircross are produced there

Automotive Technologies is upgrading the paint shop to improve production efficiency

The paint shop of the former PSMA Rus plant in Kaluga (owned by Automotive Technologies) is being modernized. This is reported by insiders. The company wants to improve the quality of production.

Plant of Automotive Technologies

After the departure of Western automakers, the company reoriented itself to large-node assembly of cars from Chinese car kits (Citroen C5 Aircross and Haval M6). Automotive Technologies plans to establish a full cycle of M6 production. Presumably, the modernization of the paint shop is connected with this.

In addition, the plant intends to assemble cars under the Tenet brand from the summer of 2025 according to the full cycle. This was announced by the Governor of the Kaluga Region, Vladislav Shapsha, on the sidelines of the SPIEF.

I assert that the Tenet car, which we presented in February of this year, will be produced in the format of a full-cycle assembly this summer and will continue to be produced.

Tenet cars are created in partnership with the Chinese company Defetoo, which acts as a technology partner and is registered in Anhui Province, one of the centers of car production in China.
