OREANDA-NEWS. October 06, 2015. By the results of the first nine months of 2015 GM-AVTOVAZ assembled 26190 vehicles – it is less by 22.6% than the year before (33,830 units). As the press-service of the joint venture informed, in the reporting period GM-AvtoVAZ dealers sold 24,550 Chevrolet Niva cars (-25,7%), including export deliveries to CIS countries that were 1,675 vehicles (-46.1%).

Since the beginning of work GM-AVTOVAZ sold 596 402 vehicles, including exported 44,001 cars. To date, sales of Chevrolet Niva are implemented by 156 dealers in Russia, 8 dealers and 3 distributors in CIS countries.

Recall that from July, the company switched to a four-day operation, which will be valid until the end of 2015. The assembly of Chevrolet Niva cars of all configurations is made from Monday to Thursday. At the same time, the shipments of cars to authorized dealers are implemented as usual 5-day working week.

"The transition to a four-day working week is connected with the fact that today the situation in the market is very ambiguous: low purchasing power, difficulties with the obtaining of bank loans by customers, the problem with the low liquidity of dealers", - the press service GM-AVTOVAZ informed earlier the agency "AUTOSTAT".
