“Everyone comes up with some way to solve the problem. For example, Volkswagen dealers help each other and exchange files with the necessary data,” Pakhomov was quoted as saying by Gazeta.ru.
Now dealers are actively developing an action plan for various situations so that their customers are not left without support.
Last summer it became known that Volkswagen closed its office in Nizhny Novgorod. The company rented production facilities on the territory of GAZ, where three Skoda models (Kodiaq, Karoq, Octavia) and Volkswagen Taos were assembled.
Volkswagen announced the suspension of activities in Russia in March. Now the German automaker is looking for a buyer for a plant in Kaluga.
Volkswagen’s own site in the Kaluga region has a capacity of 225,000 vehicles per year, where Volkswagen Tiguan and Polo, as well as Skoda Rapid, were assembled. In addition, the company has an engine plant with a capacity of 150,000 units per year.
