Volkswagen will launch its Russian car plant in the city of Kaluga on 28 November.


Volkswagen invested around EUR400m in the plant’s construction, which started in October 2006, and it is expected to produce 150,000 cars a year, Prime-Tass reported.


Volkswagen said earlier that it planned to assemble several models at the plant by 2009, including the Skoda Octavia, Volkswagen Jetta, Volkswagen Passat, Skoda Fabia, Volkswagen Tiguan and the Volkswagen Polo.
