Now the work on this project: the selected part of subcontractors, equipment is adjusted. "The problem - as soon as possible to locate the frames", - he said, answering the question of RBC.

It is expected that the production volume will amount to 4.5-5 million candles a year, which will fully cover the needs of AvtoVAZ. Then Deputy Minister of Industry and Trade Alexander Morozov said that the development of production of automotive components in Russia is one of the key tasks of ministry. Russian car manufacturers need high-quality components that meet international standards, he pointed out.

Responding to a question at a briefing, RBC, Chemezov said that AvtoVAZ can increase the level of localization of new models due to the active involvement of foreign suppliers in Russia. According to him, before the company is to raise the problem of localization of Vesta and Xray over three years by 10 percentage points (Now about 40%).

Increasing the level of localization has been one of the main tasks that "Rostec" put before the new president of AvtoVAZ Nicolas Mohr in April 2016, when he was succeeded by Bo Anderson. From the first months Mohr began to strengthen ties with suppliers and work to increase the share of Russian automotive components in models of Lada, said a representative of the plant. During this time, Vesta has changed the gearbox on the foreign and Russian received the second 1.8-liter engine VAZ production. On Xray also replaced the engine on the Russian foreign, he added RBC.

"Development of areas the production of automotive components in the neighborhood of AvtoVAZ provides undeniable advantages in terms of security of supply, optimal prices and immediate feedback on the quality" - he said.

If foreign suppliers to establish their production in Russia, it will have a positive impact on the level of localization of Lada cars, agrees to the executive director of the analytical agency "AUTOSTAT" Sergei removed. According to him, the localization level is Vesta and Xray in this case may rise to 80%. And foreign producers this can be beneficial because they will be able to supply its products not only to AvtoVAZ, but also to other car factories, such as Volkswagen, which has a plant in Kaluga, the expert points out.

"The localization of components production in Russia interesting for the producer [of cars]: he receives a reduction of costs for logistics and reasonable price to high-quality components," - says a representative of the Nizhny Novgorod group of companies "Autocomponent" (supplier of AvtoVAZ).
