Togliatti, Russia – Russia’s top automaker AvtoVAZ last week hosted visiting Renault-Nissan Alliance executives, including CEO and Chairman Carlos Ghosn, who toured facilities with Igor Komarov, President of AvtoVAZ, and met other officials.
The Alliance and Russian Technologies State Corporation created a joint venture to hold equity interests in Russia’s largest car company, the owner of the Lada brand, and the Alliance is now the largest shareholder.
Last Thursday Ghosn became chairman of the 15-member AvtoVAZ Board of Directors, which also includes eight people from the Alliance.
AvtoVAZ remains an independent company under the Russian management of Komarov, and the Nissan Global Media Center spoke with him on changes at the automaker since his arrival in 2009, working with the Alliance, and the outlook ahead.
