OREANDA-NEWS.  According to Rosstat, for three months in 2015 Russian assembly lines produced 355,000 passenger cars – it is less by 19.7% than a year before. Meanwhile, in March, it was produced about 140 thousand cars, which is less by 18.8% than a year ago.

It is worth noting that Kaluga "PSMA Rus" for the last month began the production of updated SUV Mitsubishi Outlander, and St. Petersburg plant Toyota has mastered the production of an updated Toyota Camry with a new engine of 2.0 liters combined with a 6-speed automatic transmission.

Meanwhile, the company "Avtotor" completed the assembly of cars for General Motors, which, in turn, began the conservation of its plant in St. Petersburg, by keeping on it only the SKD assembly of Cadillac and Chevrolet SUVs. In addition, due to the fall in demand in the Russian market, Nissan for two weeks stopped the car production at its plant in St. Petersburg and Volkswagen plant in Kaluga since the end of March went on a four-day operation, which will be valid until the end of July.
