Guests at the official opening ceremony included the Russian ambassador Vitali
Makarov, Bronto Cars general manager Yuri Zuev and Autotat general manager Serguei
Babkine.
The $US700,000, 7,000 square metre factory has an installed production capacity
of 5,000 vehicles per year but current production is just 48 Lada Style 4WD
SUVs a month.
Autotat Ltd. has initially hired only 50 workers but in the next few months
will increase the payroll to 250 and build more vehicles.
The Ladas produced in Colombia are based on a design first launched in the
1980s and, though they are cheaper than the majority of newer-design rival SUVs,
they look old-fashioned by comparison.
