26.05.2021 / Vehicle production increased by 43%

According to Russian Automotive Market Research, over the first four months of 2021, 563 thousand vehicles were produced in Russia, which was a 43% rise on the similar period of the last year.

The production increase was primarily due to the introduction of a strict quarantine regime at the end of March 2020 caused by the coronavirus, which resulted in the sharp reduction in production in April 2020.

Compared to the same period in 2019, the vehicle production decreased by 3% in January-April 2021.
