"In the spring of 2023, a number of component suppliers notified AvtoVAZ JSC of the termination of supplies and violated the existing agreements on the preservation of supplies in 2023. Because of this, non-stop production of complete cars will be impossible from the second half of May 2023, "Interfax quotes the company's message.

It is noted that the paid single corporate leave is shifted to the period from May 29 to June 19.

"This decision gives the company the necessary time to strengthen technological sovereignty," the company said.

Earlier it was reported that AvtoVAZ plans to launch the production of Lada at the former Nissan plant in St. Petersburg in the second quarter of this year. It is noted that this year AvtoVAZ intends to produce more than 400 thousand cars.
