Sollers adjusted production to save five days

The Sollers Group turned out to be the only major Russian automaker that has not announced a potential transition to a shorter working week and is not planning one. Zoya Kaika, Deputy General Director of the company, spoke about the preservation of the five-day period at the group's enterprises, including the Ulyanovsk Automobile Plant, on August 25.

"We have already been on two corporate vacations and, based on this, we have recalculated the production programs, but in such a way that we stay for exactly five days. It is more economically beneficial for us. We plan to stay on a five—day working week, as we have been working," Kommersant quoted her as saying.

Due to reduced demand in the bus and commercial transport market, Likinsky Bus Plant (LiAZ) switched to four-day operation in July, and Gorky Automobile Plant (now NAZ) in August.

AvtoVAZ reported in July that it was considering switching to a four-day working week. The decision will be made in September. The automaker cited the high key rate and stricter regulatory requirements for car loan borrowers as the reasons for the difficult market situation.
