Russia’s biggest car producer said the loss doubled as sales plunged and it booked an asset impairment provision.

Chief executive Igor Komarov said last week the company could return to operating profit this year as it has been the main beneficiary of a government-sponsored ‘cash for clunkers’ scheme.

The asset impairment provision was for over RUB14bn roubles according to a Reuters report.
