September results worsened the situation: 66,500 vehicles were produced, a 1.7% decrease compared to August.
The decline was particularly noticeable in the truck segment. Over the first nine months, 97,400 trucks were produced, a 30% decrease. In September, production dropped to 11,100 (-41.4%). Avtostat experts note a continuation of the negative trend for two consecutive months.
However, some manufacturers achieved success. In the Kaluga industrial cluster, AGR launched production of the TENET T8 crossover. The 1,000th Haval M6, with a full production cycle, was produced at the facilities of Avtomobilnye Tekhnologii. UAZ resumed assembly of the Hunter SUV, and the Pavlovsk Bus Plant began serial production of the Citymax 8. AvtoVAZ switched to a four-day workweek on September 29.
As a reminder, Exceed unveiled its new flagship sedan. The Volga crossover was photographed for the first time.
