Avtovaz plans to spend RUB100bn (US$2.62bn) modernising technology and updating its model range in the next three years, OAO Avtovaz president Bo Andersson told a business forum.
Andersson said: “We will invest about RUB100bn in modernising our equipment and development of new products. In this case, we rely on suppliers operating in Russia. Today Lada cars are localised at 81%, Renault and Nissan, produced by Avtovaz, localised at 51%. Our future bestseller, the Lada Vesta, in the first phase of production will be localised at 75%.”
