The Avtotor plant intends to increase the production of cars by 12%

The Kaliningrad Avtotor plant expects to produce about 34 thousand cars by the end of 2025. This was announced on October 9 by the company's press service.

"As for plans until the end of 2025, taking into account the current forecast and market fluctuations, under a pessimistic scenario, production will remain at the level of the previous year, while under an optimistic scenario it will increase by 10-12%," TASS quoted the company as saying.

By the end of 2024, the production volume amounted to 30.4 thousand cars, which is three times less than the initially announced plan, the note says. Of these, 29.5 thousand units are passenger cars. The main brands are BAIC, Kaiyi, Jetour and SWM.

The reasons for the decline in production were external factors, including fluctuations in the market, unstable demand and restrictions related to logistics and supply of components.
