The Renault-Nissan Alliance team caught up with CEO Carlos Ghosn at the New York international auto show and began by asking him about the Alliance’s latest industrial offensive in emerging markets - the opening of a new production facility at the Togliatti plant in Russia. Four hundred million euros are being invested into the new 250,000-square-meter industrial complex that will add capacity of up to 350,000 cars per year – Renault and Nissan models, as well as AVTOVAZ Ladas.

Is there a plan to manufacture EV lithium ion batteries and the whole cars in Russia in the future?

@Alex
Thank you for your question! Russia is a very important market for the Renault-Nissan Alliance. In fact, it is our third-largest market in the world behind China and the US. At this time, however, we don’t have any plans to manufacture batteries or electric vehicles in Russia.
Kind regards,

The Alliance Team
