"Avtovaz resumes production of Niva Legend and Lada Granta after downtime

Russian carmaker AvtoVAZ has resumed production of Niva Legend and Lada Granta after a production pause due to a shortage of automotive components.

According to Interfax news agency, the matter in question is lines 3 (SKP, production of Lada Niva Legend) and 5 (SKP Kalina, production of Lada Granta), suspended since June 7.

"Due to the resumption of deliveries of the necessary electronic components, Avtovaz has launched production on Lines 3 and 5 earlier than planned. Nevertheless, the situation with supplies remains tense, and we are closely monitoring it," a representative of the company told the agency.

Avtovaz production lines have been working with stoppages since the end of April. According to a number of media reports, the downtime arose due to a lack of steering lugs. Due to disruptions in the supply of components for some models the Avtovaz management planned to increase the production of the Lada Vesta and Lada Niva Travel, the production of which is not affected by shortages of electronics.
