AvtoVAZ will carry out its appraisal of IzhAvto jointly with its partner Renault-Nissan, Prime-Tass reported.
In February, Alyoshin said AvtoVAZ was in talks on buying IzhAvto from Russia’s second largest carmaker SOK Group. SOK Group, a Russian private holding, has reportedly offered to sell Renault a 98% stake in the plant.
Alyoshin also said that AvtoVAZ was in talks on buying assets to expand its production capacities in Russia and abroad.
Speaking about the possible acquisition of Kaliningrad-based assembly plant Avtotor, Alyoshin said that a delegation of AvtoVAZ and Renault had visited the plant. Alyoshin added, however, that it was too early to say anything specific on the issue.
