A new report claims the AvtoVAZ-owned brand has halted production at its main plant in Togliatti due to the lack of supplies of different vehicle components, APA reports citing The Wall Street Journal.
Renault holds a controlling 67.61-percent stake at AvtoVAZ and relies on supplies from its factories in Romania with over 20 percent of the parts for Lada coming from outside Russia, mostly connectors and other electronic components. Lada’s Izhevsk plant has also stopped producing cars.
