Production of Classic Ladas to Double in May

In May, AvtoVAZ will assemble 45,900 Ladas, 6.8 percent more than in April. However, production of the classic Lada 2105 and Lada 2107 models will grow much more — 76.3 percent, to 17,600 units, the company said. These classics will make up 38.3 percent of AvtoVAZ’s total production.

This is the result of the cash-for-clunkers recycling program. The classic is the plant’s most popular model that is implemented under this program, and a waiting period of several weeks is already lining up for these cars.

… we have a small favor to ask. As you may have heard, The Moscow Times, an independent news source for over 30 years, has been unjustly branded as a "foreign agent" by the Russian government. This blatant attempt to silence our voice is a direct assault on the integrity of journalism and the values we hold dear.

We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. Our commitment to providing accurate and unbiased reporting on Russia remains unshaken. But we need your help to continue our critical mission.
