Lada manufacturers in China
Lada brand cars, familiar to many on the roads of Russia, are gradually gaining popularity in China. But is it worth talking about an entire industry, about mass production? The answer is rather difficult than unambiguous. Let's figure out what is happening.
Export and assembly
In fact, we are not talking about the Lada factory in China, but about assembly industries. Chinese companies with experience in the automotive industry established the assembly of cars using components and parts supplied from Russia. This means that ready -made cars are assembled on Chinese conveyors, which then, perhaps, are supplied to different countries. It is likely that some of these machines, for example, can be intended for the Chinese market. At the same time, it is worth noting that in this case they are not called Lada, but rather made on the basis of Lada, in connection with the use of components and brand technologies.
What attracts Chinese partners?
What drives Chinese companies interested in cooperation? Most likely, these are favorable conditions for the supply of components, affordable labor force and the possibility of expanding sales markets. In such conditions, cooperation becomes profitable for both Russian manufacturers and Chinese partners. This shows that such simple market mechanisms operate in the global automobile world. Of course, we are talking about a specific cooperation of individual companies, and not about mass production at Chinese Lada factories.
Benefits and risks for Russian buyers
It is important to understand that the availability of LAD in China will not necessarily affect the quality or availability of cars for Russian consumers. Perhaps we are talking about completely different models than those that are in Russia. This rather shows the globalization of the car market and a variety of approaches to its development. For Russian buyers, rather, the question of possible prices and accessibility of specific models is interesting. Demand and supply, as always, play a decisive role.
