The head of Volga spoke about the development of new models

Volga Engineering Center continues to work on new models, said Tatiana Fadeeva, head of the brand. At the same time, according to her, next year the company will focus on deepening the localization of production and increasing the capacity of the plant in Nizhny Novgorod. This was reported by Rossiyskaya Gazeta on November 13.

One of the key stages will be the launch of press production in the second quarter of 2027, which will allow Volga to independently manufacture body parts. At the same time, the company will create production facilities for engines and transmissions, with serial production scheduled for 2028.

In 2026, Volga launched production in the Nizhny Novgorod automotive cluster and launched three models on the market in June, after which it updated two of them. Since August, the company has been gradually increasing production on a full cycle, including welding, painting and assembly. However, current volumes, as noted by Fadeeva, do not yet allow meeting market demand, which is why there is a shortage of individual modifications and trim levels.

"Our task is to reach the planned capacity of the plant in all production halls in order to increase our presence and market share," said the head of Volga.
