Information from the regional governor
Governor of the Nizhny Novgorod region Gleb Nikitin said that the regional authorities are planning to restart the production of cars under their own brand.
“The auto industry has certainly strengthened, I say this with absolute responsibility. It was more dependent on the market situation, on various specific suppliers, but now we have more choice, more options and opportunities. We are now very actively working to expand the line of cars we produce. We hope that in the near future we will be able to return to the Nizhny Novgorod region the production of passenger cars under our own brands. We are waiting for a domestic, Nizhny Novgorod brand,” said Gleb Nikitin.
