The minister allowed the implementation of these projects not only in Nizhny Novgorod,but also on other platforms

The Minister of Industry and Trade, Denis Manturov, spoke in an interview with the RBC TV channel about plans to revive the Volga and Pobeda car brands that existed in Soviet times.

“Colleagues have plans to revive, for example, the Volga or Pobeda brand, or both,” he said.

When asked whether such cars would be produced in Nizhny Novgorod, Manturov said that the project could be implemented at different sites. However, he did not specify the possible timing of the start of production.

On May 16, Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin announced the resumption of production of cars under the Moskvich brand. They will be assembled on the basis of the former Moscow Renault plant, which was transferred to the balance of Moscow, he said. It was indicated that negotiations are underway with foreign automakers who might be interested in such a project.

Regarding the departure of Renault, Manturov indicated that the “collapse of logistics” was a likely trigger for such a decision. “Globally, the Renault company has to bear the burden of maintaining AvtoVAZ and Avtoframos for a long-term period, unlike other manufacturers who have announced that they will ensure the payment of salaries to employees of these enterprises until the end of the year,” he said. .

The GAZ-M-20 Pobeda was produced at the Gorky Automobile Plant from 1946 to 1958. In total, more than 240 thousand cars were produced under this brand.

Cars under the Volga brand have been produced at GAZ since 1956 (GAZ 21, GAZ 24, GAZ 3102, GAZ 3110).

After the collapse of the USSR, GAZ tried to create new Volgas. In 2008, for example, the production of Volga Siber began. However, the car was not popular. In 2010, its production was curtailed, and the plant in Nizhny Novgorod focused on the production of commercial vehicles.
